“Mr. Paul held me to carry out legal reparation for the damage he has suffered,” Spiro said in a statement to News Digital. “If someone uses their public soap box to damage it and sport with lies, there will be consequences.”
“The statements are categorically false and harmful to Paul, their partners and sport in general,” said the most valuable promotions (MVP) to News Digital. “Jake’s reputation and value will be protected with all the force of the law.”
Spiro has represented Elon Musk and defended Aaron Hernández during his double homicide case, in which he was acquitted.
The MVP co -founder, Nakisa Berarian, said on the social networks that Piers Morgan can “have” Berarian sue him after the host of the interview program said the fights are “organized.”

“One thing is to say: ‘You are not a good boxer’. Another thing is to say: ‘fights in older boys.’ But when you say that the fights are organized, also known as Rigged, then you are defamed us,” Bearian told News Digital in a recent interview. “You are destroying value for your brand, for the MVP brand and what we represent, which is the integrity of sport.
“Actually, you are attacking the Athletic Commission of the State of California that supervised this event (Paul Vs. Julio César Chavez Jr.) Then you are saying that we are risking the federal prison for making staged events. Therefore, we have been patient for a long time, and now it is time for people to retract and admit that they were wrong or participate with legal actions.”
“Each Jake Paul fight has been sanctioned by an athletic commission,” added Berarian. “Every Jake Paul fight has had available sports bets. Each Jake Paul fight has been with a great media partner. Someone says that any of Jake’s fights is something else than professionally sanctioned fights with clear rules, it is ridiculous.”
The calls on manipulated fights became strong after Paul fought against Mike Tyson. At that time, Berarian told News Digital that Everything was legitimate.
