The Fight Between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson Could Be The ‘Worst Boxing Match’ In History

Perhaps the reason why the fight was pulled in July should’ve been a glimpse into what happened in November. They were going to fight but Tyson was forced to pull out because of an ‘ulcer flare-up.’

It was a sold-out event and unbelievably, some of the 65,000 people in attendance paid up to $2 million to watch. Of course, those were the VIP tickets, but I don’t know how happy they were when the fight was over.

Millions of people also watched it worldwide as it streamed on Netflix.

Nobody knows for sure how much money was paid to the winner and loser, but it is undoubtedly a considerable sum. Paul even hinted at the money during a press conference, saying: “I’m here to make $40 million and knock out a legend.”

Tyson is thought to have made $20 million for losing the fight.

Tyson is worth an estimated $10 million and Paul may be worth about $80 million. That’s a lot of money, but if they made tens of millions for winning or losing, it’s still a big payday.
