Finally, Jake Paul has been defeated. In a highly anticipated fight, the former YouTuber who has now turned pro lost to Tommy Fury. The two engaged in an eight-round bout that was decided by decision in favor of Fury. Given the size of the pay check he chose as his prize for the battle, it doesn’t seem like the Problem Child is too bothered by it.
Jake Paul said before the bout that if he lost, he wouldn’t be able to call himself a professional fighter. To regain his honor, he’ll probably get Fury to dance with him once more at a rematch. It’s possible that there is a hidden financial goal, and why wouldn’t there be? especially in light of the alleged earnings for his performance.
Jake Paul shared a story on Instagram with the caption:
“When you lost but made $30 million”
Jake Paul’s fight purse was $3.2 million guaranteed as a base salary, according to Sports Zion. In addition, he was expected to get 65% of the revenue from the Pay Per View (PPV) streams.
