How much will Jake Paul, Mike Tyson make for Netflix boxing matches? | Boxing news

NEW DELHI: Jake Paul secured a comprehensive victory against boxing legend Mike Tyson through unanimous decision on Friday at Arlington’s AT&T Stadium in Texas. The scorecards showed clear dominance with readings of 80-72, 79-73 and 79-73.
The 27-year-old Paul demonstrated superior agility and movement throughout the eight-round contest, particularly troubling the 58-year-old former champion in the third round with a series of precise punches. Despite the previous day’s heated weigh-in incident in which Tyson punched Paul in the face, the promised knockout remained elusive.
Tyson’s performance reflected his age, with limited offensive success throughout the fight. The stats highlighted the difference as Tyson only connected on 18 of 97 punch attempts, while Paul landed 78 of his 278 attempts.
In the closing moments of the final round, Paul showed sportsmanship by respectfully bowing to his veteran opponent before the closing bell.
How Much Does Mike Tyson Get Paid?
Mike Tyson, the 58-year-old boxing legend with an estimated net worth of $10 million according to Celebrity Net Worth, is expected to receive approximately $20 million for the upcoming fight.
This amount reflects his earnings from the historic Michael Spinks fight in 1988, which was a record purse at the time (equivalent to approximately £53 million in today’s value). The memorable contest ended in just 91 seconds as Tyson defeated the previously undefeated Spinks.
Despite amassing around $400 million in career fight earnings as reported by Forbes, “Iron Mike” experienced financial difficulties, leading to bankruptcy in 2013 at the age of 37. However, he has successfully rebuilt his financial status during the last decade.
How much does Jake Paul get paid?
Jake Paul, 27, is expected to receive £40 million for the fight, according to DraftKings Network and other sources, which is twice Tyson’s projected earnings.
This larger sum likely reflects Paul’s dual role as both fighter and co-founder of Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), the organization that coordinates the event with Netflix.
Paul, who has a significant social media presence with 27 million Instagram followers, currently has an estimated net worth of $80 million, as reported by Celebrity Net Worth.
