Jake Paul has revealed that he received an eight-figure payday for his most recent bout with former UFC champion Tyron Woodley, during an interview with the Daily Mail.
Love him or loathe him, there’s no denying that Jake Paul is big business in the boxing world right now. The former YouTube superstar has successfully brought a gigantic audience over to the sport with him.
As a result, every washed-up fighter is jumping at the chance of stepping through the ropes and taking him on in a boxing match, with Tyron Woodley the latest to do so.
As he revealed during an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail, Paul made an incredible eight-figure purse from taking on former UFC champion Woodley:
“It’s eight-figure paydays.”
“The money is great, the business is great, it is. I work blood, sweat, and tears in the gym, but this is a product of working day in and day out since I was 17 years old.”
You can certainly see why Jake and his brother Logan are milking every possible drop and dime out of their fifteen minutes of fame in the world of boxing.
Paul clearly has some boxing skills in his locker. To take a fight against a 39-year-old, considerably smaller than him, with the promise of earning such a huge amount of cash from it really is a no-brainer.
