That wasn't a dodge idiot lol. If you can't tell that he was intentionally pulling that punch you might be legally retarded.

Not really. If you watched the whole fight, Mike lost the ability to deliver it. I think RJJ even talked about mike's old trainer being worried he had lost his delivery system. The most charitable take is that mike pulled it because he saw jake dodged.
No fucktard, it wasn't about pulling the punch. The implication in calling it rigged is that they choreographed the fight like wrasslers because apparently there's no other way Jake would have moved back like that.

Mike Perry vs Jake Paul backs up that assertion.
He also dropped professional boxer Tommy Fury in round 8 of their fight. Deep waters, still delivering power no problem.

"Plaintiffs had no legally protected interest or right to see an exciting fight, a fight between two totally healthy and fully prepared boxers, or a fight that lived up to the significant pre-fight hype," Klausner wrote in his 11-page order.
"The reason that competitive sports is so compelling is precisely because the outcome is always at least somewhat uncertain," the judge said. "Allowing sports fans to sue ... could destroy the very thing that makes sports fandom so special."
That's what the judge who dismissed the class action suits against Pacquiao said and that's more or less the same thing the judge who will throw out any lawsuits against Paul and/or Tyson will say.

What about suing the boxing commission for allowing it and not coming down on them? Has there ever been anything like that?

You'd have no more standing to sue the boxing commission than you would to sue the boxers directly.
