Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul fight purse details

As I’m typing this, the specific fight purses for the upcoming event haven’t been publicly revealed yet. We should find out more details within the next day since the event is about to begin.

At present, we can work with some initial details. During a pre-match briefing on November 13, Jake Paul asserted that he would earn around $40 million from his performance.

He declared on stage, “My goal is to earn $40 million and outshine a renowned figure. I don’t care about anything else.” However, due to some questionable wagers, it seems he may not receive as much if he fulfills his obligations.

If the division of earnings results in an equal split for both parties involved in the main event, it could potentially mean that Iron Mike stands to earn approximately $40 million. However, it seems that this is not the current arrangement.

Based on the words of a renowned combat sports legend and former Olympian-turned-UFC champion, Henry Cejudo, it’s anticipated that his acquaintance Tyson will earn approximately $20 million, according to his statement made in the Pound 4 Pound podcast.

If Cejudo’s statement is true, it still represents a substantial income, but it falls significantly short of Tyson’s record-breaking pay-per-view earnings. In 2002, Tyson suffered a defeat against Lennox Lewis, yet he walked away with $103 million in winnings that evening.

It’s evident that Tyson is already quite affluent, and he himself has acknowledged this prior to facing Paul. In an interview with SPORTbible, he stated, “This fight won’t make a difference financially for me.” If he were to fight for free, it wouldn’t alter his life either. His wife often advises him, “‘You don’t need to do this fight.’

“This is what I want to do; this is me. I’m seeking my glory.”
