After his victory, Ariel Helwani announced the winner, but as Marley attempted to grab the microphone and speak, the broadcaster informed him that they had run out of time.
While it wasn’t Helwani’s decision, fight fans were still displeased with the situation.
One user on X commented: “Why did Ariel keep teasing him with the mic?”
Another added: “That back and forth with the mic was awkward. He should have just shouted; we would have heard him.”
A third user remarked: “That’s not a good look.”
The 25-year-old appeared dejected when he was unable to share his thoughts, especially since this was his opportunity to introduce himself to a large audience.
Dozens of millions of fight fans are anticipated to tune in for the match, which is valued at £140 million at minimum.
Paul’s previous fight involved a 58-year-old opponent and set numerous streaming records, with the platform struggling to handle the immense demand.
In other matches on the card, a fighter secured victory with a spectacular uppercut that stopped former Paul opponent Tyron Woodley.
In the co-main event, Alycia Baumgardner successfully defended her unified super-featherweight titles with a unanimous decision against Leila Beaudoin.
