The boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson will mark the first time a boxing event is broadcast live on Netflix, and the financial rewards for both fighters are significant.
Fans have eagerly anticipated this matchup, which was initially postponed due to Tyson’s unexpected health issue. Now, the YouTuber-turned-boxer and the legendary heavyweight are set to face off tomorrow night at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The event will be available for streaming on Netflix.
Given the considerable anticipation surrounding their fight, it’s expected that both Tyson and Paul will receive substantial earnings from the event.
While the precise financial details remain undisclosed, there have been some speculative figures. According to reports from USA Today and The New York Post, Tyson is projected to earn approximately $20 million. During a promotional news conference, Paul stated his goal: “here to make $40 million and knock out a legend.”
The difference in their paychecks might seem unexpected, but Paul’s involvement in producing the fight through his company, Most Valuable Promotions, in collaboration with Netflix, could account for his larger share.
