Jake Paul may have suffered the first loss of his professional boxing career to Tommy Fury on Sunday, but he certainly didn’t walk away empty-handed.
The YouTube star-turned-boxer announced on his podcast BS With Jake Paul on Wednesday that he earned $30 million for the fight.
Paul also noted on his podcast that the fight garnered 500,000 pay-per-view purchases. According to Sports Illustrated’s Chris Mannix, the price for the fight in the United States was $50 and $19.95 in the United Kingdom.
The 26-year-old has yet to announce his next fight. However, it’s possible there could be a Fury-Paul rematch set up in the future. Paul is definitely on board.
“We’re going to come back and get that W,” Paul said after Sunday’s bout.
Paul’s boxing record dropped to 6–1 after his loss to Fury. Fury’s record improved to 9–0 after two judges scored the fight 76-73 in Fury’s favor, while the third favored Paul, 75-74.
