Crossover boxing superstar Jake Paul has made significant revenue inside the squared circle. Paul began his career with Disney before transitioning to a social media influencer with his older brother Logan. The younger Paul brother attained notoriety after slowly pulling away from the influencer realm to a career inside the squared circle. Nonetheless, Forbes had him at number 3 among the highest-earning content creators.
With a professional boxing record of nine wins and a loss, Paul has shown skill, especially in the knockout department. After all, he secured KO/TKO victories over Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley. Moreover, he scored a knockdown against Anderson Silva. Currently on a two-fight finishing streak, Mike Perry is next for ‘The Problem Child.’ Preluding the fight this weekend, let’s look at how much money Paul has made with his boxing career.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Paul’s net worth is about $80 million, significantly lower than his older brother Logan’s $150 million. Per The Sporting News, Paul took home $1.2 million for his fight against Nate Robinson and $2 million in his first fight against Tyron Woodley. Moreover, he made $1.5 million against MMA legend Anderson Silva.
For the battle against Tommy Fury, Paul took $3.2 million plus 65% PPV sales. In his last three fights against Nate Diaz, Andre August, and Ryan Bourland, Paul brought home an estimated $2 million, $7 million, and $6 million, respectively. In his upcoming fight against Perry, the 27-year-old will likely pocket eight figures.
Jake Paul aims for a longer bout against Mike Perry
Paul’s last two fights ended in the first round. Andre August and Ryan Bourland couldn’t handle the power of ‘The Problem Child.’ The 27-year-old was initially scheduled to fight Mike Tyson, but the ‘Iron’ pulled out due to health issues. Hence, Paul accepted a fight with Mike Perry on short notice in this scenario.
Preluding the fight, the younger Paul brother spoke with Pat McAfee on YouTube. In the interview, the crossover boxing star revealed his hope that the fight would go longer than his previous fights. He gave props to Perry but stated the matchup would be a boxing clinic, with his hands raised at the end. Will ‘The Problem Child’ record his third consecutive win?
