We now know the amount of crazy sums that Jake Paul and Mike Tyson received, after their fight broadcast on Netflix.
The mountain gave birth to a mouse!
As many observers predicted, the high-profile boxing fight between heavyweight legend Mike Tyson (58) and influencer Jake Paul (27) did not live up to expectations. . Broadcast on Netflix, the event, organized on November 15 at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas (Texas), was not a summit in boxing.
Mike Tyson and Jake Paul hit the jackpot after their fight
If Jake Paul was declared the winner unanimously by the judges, it is obvious that he owes his success only to the advanced age of his opponent who – and this is quite logical – was not able to hold the distance of 8 rounds. There is no doubt that purists and other lovers of the Noble art, who were already criticizing the merits of this fight even before it took place, will continue to assert loud and clear that this type of event gives a bad image to boxing.
The same goes for the two boxers, who do not emerge from what many consider to be a parody of a fight. At least in the ring, because in terms of their emoluments, the two protagonists did well by reaping a nice jackpot.

As was to be expected, it was all about big money. According to the LadBible site, Mike Tyson should receive a whopping $20 million (18.9 million euros) for this fight. As for Jake Paul, he could receive… double, or around 40 million dollars (37.8 million euros).
It is even rumored that other additional bonuses, depending on objectives achieved during the fight, will also be paid to the two boxers. Some believe they know, for example, that Jake Paul will receive an additional bonus of 5 million dollars (or 4.7 million euros) for having lasted more than 4 rounds against Iron Mike.
Netflix is also rubbing its hands, because, despite numerous outages during the broadcast, 120 million viewers watched this fight, considered “ ridicule » by many Internet users.
Figures that make you dizzy!
