New York, Nov 01, (V7N) - Jake Paul is set to fight Mike Tyson in a highly anticipated boxing match, with financial details surrounding the event remaining somewhat unclear. While no official figures have been released regarding the payouts for either fighter, Paul hinted at a significant payday. At a press conference in August, he stated, "I'm here to make $40 million and knock out a legend."
Although Tyson has not disclosed his earnings, boxing experts estimate he could earn around $20 million for the fight. This speculation was supported by comments from Jimmy Kimmel during an appearance by Tyson on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," where Kimmel suggested that Tyson's payout would be substantial.
In a playful twist, Paul has proposed a bet with Tyson: if Tyson lasts more than four rounds, Paul will pay him $5 million. However, if Tyson fails to make it past the fourth round, he would have to get a tattoo saying, "I love Jake Paul." Tyson responded to this offer, suggesting Paul should raise the stakes to $20 million.
The fight is scheduled for November 15, with the event starting at 8 p.m. ET, although the exact time for the ring walk has yet to be announced. Fans will be able to stream the event exclusively on Netflix, as it will not be available on traditional TV.
