Jake Paul to Pocket Twice as Much as Mike Tyson in Historic Boxing Showdown.

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.

With 80,000 fans expected to pack the stadium and millions more tuning in via Netflix, the fight is poised to become the most-watched boxing event of the year. This marks the first time Netflix has ventured into live sports, broadcasting the bout to its 283 million subscribers worldwide, setting a precedent for future events.

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.
