In what is shaping up to be one of the most spectacular events in boxing history, Jake Paul is set to earn a staggering $40 million—double the amount of heavyweight legend Mike Tyson’s $20 million purse—for their highly anticipated clash. The fight, scheduled for Friday night at the AT&T Stadium in Texas, promises to be more than just a battle of fists—it’s a massive financial windfall for all involved.
Tyson’s Payday: A Return to Glory
Mike Tyson, a legend with a career earnings total of $450 million, will step back into the ring nearly two decades after his last professional fight. While his $20 million guaranteed purse doesn’t come close to the $103 million he earned for his iconic 2002 bout against Lennox Lewis, it still ranks among the top five paydays of his illustrious career.
Tyson, known for his devastating power and seismic bouts against legends like Lewis and Larry Holmes, could see his earnings increase even further depending on the event’s total gate revenue. Jake Paul has boldly claimed that this fight could set the record for the highest gate ever for an indoor U.S. event, potentially boosting Tyson’s take-home pay.
Jake Paul: The Businessman Boxer
For Jake Paul, the 27-year-old YouTuber-turned-boxer, this fight represents both an athletic challenge and a business triumph. Paul, who orchestrated and promoted the event, will walk away with a guaranteed $40 million purse—cementing his reputation as one of the most lucrative fighters in the sport today.
“I’m here to make $40 million and knock out a legend,” Paul confidently declared at a pre-fight press conference. While some may question his boxing credentials, there’s no denying Paul’s knack for turning fights into financial blockbusters. This match could push his total career earnings past the $100 million mark—a remarkable feat for someone with no amateur boxing background.
