Jake Paul`s boxing matches consistently deliver both excitement and substantial financial gains, and his upcoming bout is anticipated to uphold this tradition.
The social media personality has not competed in the ring since his contentious unanimous decision victory over boxing legend Mike Tyson in November of last year.
Jake Paul and Chavez Jr. are expected to receive significant paydays from this event.
Notably, `The Problem Child` reportedly secured a significant sum even before the fight officially began.
Paul, 28, aims to claim another major victory against Mexican boxing figure Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., in a highly anticipated match expected to captivate audiences.
Reports from Paul`s promotion team indicate that a Chicago-based law firm even acquired a single ticket for an astonishing $1 million. However, this sum pales in comparison to the projected earnings for both fighters after the event concludes.
Estimated Earnings for Jake Paul vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
While Jake Paul typically earns around $10 million from pay-per-view fights, and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. was offered $3 million for a potential bout in 2022, the exact official purse for Saturday night`s highly anticipated fight remains undisclosed.
Chavez Jr. has publicly stated his intention to decline any earnings and retire if he fails to defeat Paul, declaring, “I hope I can make a few million with Jake Paul. If he beats me, I’ll retire, I don’t get paid. I don’t want money if I don’t beat him.”
Jake Paul`s Earnings from the Mike Tyson Bout
Before his Netflix clash with Mike Tyson, Jake Paul claimed he would earn a remarkable £31 million (approximately $40 million). Mike Tyson, for his part, reportedly received £15.4 million (around $20 million).
Paul even playfully offered Tyson an additional $5 million if their fight extended beyond four rounds, a condition Tyson ultimately met.
How Jake Paul Invested His Mike Tyson Fight Earnings
Jake Paul, the prominent social media figure, reportedly used his entire purse from the Mike Tyson fight to acquire a substantial ranch.
During an appearance on The Iced Coffee Hour podcast, Paul revealed, “I haven’t announced it yet, but I bought a ranch. A pretty expensive ranch.” He clarified that while the purchase wasn`t immediate, acquiring a ranch had been a long-standing dream for 15 years, a driving force behind his hard work.
He expressed his passion for all activities associated with ranch life, including hunting, jet skiing, ATVs, fishing, horses, and cows, reminiscing about childhood cabin trips with his father. Paul further stated that the ranch cost “$39 million,” acknowledging its vast size: “It’s massive. It’s a little bit bigger than I wanted, but when I got there, I was like, `I have to buy this.`”
