Jake Paul performed excellently in the grudge match by stopping Mike Perry. Many view this as one of Paul’s finest performances in the boxing ring. The bare-knuckle boxer struggled to stay on his feet throughout the fight, wobbling from Paul’s clear strikes in every round. The referee halted the fight in the sixth round due to the damage Perry sustained, making him unable to continue. Despite the result, both fighters provided an exciting event for fans and walked away with huge paydays.
Perry revealed that his purse for the fight against Jake Paul is roughly equivalent to what he earns in BKFC. Platinum earned $600,000 for his first-round win over Thiago Alves in April. As the event organizer, Paul will receive a considerably larger purse. The YouTuber-turned-boxer has significant earning power, making around $3.2 million for his bout with Tommy Fury, plus a 65% share of the pay-per-view revenue. Although Paul’s exact earnings for this fight haven’t been disclosed yet, they are expected to surpass his previous payouts.
As Paul predicted, he knocked out Perry in the first round, dropping him with a right hand less than a minute into the opening round. A second knockdown followed in Round 2, and Perry’s constant wobbling in Round 5. Although Perry was allowed to continue despite this, Round 6 marked his end when Paul rocked him with a hard right. Moreover, the bare-knuckle fighter sustained significant damage throughout the bout.
