The Jake Paul-Mike Tyson fight at AT&T Stadium may have failed to thrill fans, but it created plenty of off-the-ring drama involving a former Dallas Cowboys standout.
Adam “Pacman” Jones, a former All-Pro defensive back and one of the night’s high-profile attendees, was arrested on multiple charges after the event. According to TMZ Sports, Jones was taken into custody at the Loews Arlington Hotel, near the stadium, for public intoxication, resisting arrest, evading arrest, and assaulting a police officer.
Pacman, who has faced legal troubles throughout his career, “adamantly denies the allegations,” per his representatives. They assert, “Pac was in town for the fight, enjoying himself with fans, and was returning to his hotel to wind down for the evening. He was not looking for trouble.”

Jones’ 13-year NFL career included stints with the Cowboys, Tennessee Titans, Cincinnati Bengals, and Denver Broncos. Despite his talent on the field, his tenure in the league was frequently overshadowed by off-field controversies.
The chaotic arrest adds yet another layer to a weekend already filled with spectacle and criticism, including backlash over Jerry Jones’ handling of AT&T Stadium’s infamous sunlight glare and the lackluster main event.
