Here is the eye-watering amount of money Jake Paul and Mike Tyson have reportedly made after their controversial Netflix fight.

After a postponement and speculation about whether or not it would actually go ahead, YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul managed to beat legendary boxer Mike Tyson in the hotly anticipated Netflix bout at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas.

Although ‘Iron Mike’ looked ahead during the early rounds of the fight, the 58-year-old soon began to tire out – allowing the much younger Paul to ultimately win the match via unanimous decision.

However, it’s fair to say that both men are winners when it comes to the amount of money made.

During the lead up to the fight, Paul had made no secret of the fact that his main motive for taking on Tyson was financial gain, telling SPORTbible in an exclusive interview: “This is definitely my biggest payday, of all the fights for sure.”

Tyson on the other hand, had appeared less forthcoming when it came to talk of money, adding that he was instead ‘seeking glory’ from the bout.

However, we imagine that Tyson is certainly grateful for the bumper paycheck after losing to 27-year-old Paul.

According to numerous reports, Tyson has walked away with a tidy $20 million (£15.8 million) for his efforts. Paul on the other hand, is set to have banked a much higher fee – earning a whopping $40 million (£31.7 million) for his trouble.

Which means that when it comes down to the cash – let’s be honest here – both men have left the ring winners.

This may not be the final total for both of the men either, with Paul even claiming the pair could be in to make some pretty hefty bonuses should certain targets be hit during the fight.

“There are definitely certain guaranteed figures and other certain built-in bonuses and stuff on top of sales – key performance indicators that trigger certain things,” Paul explained.

Paul didn’t elaborate further on the bonuses, however, we can only imagine it’s been a pretty lucrative night for The Problem Child.

Jake Paul has beaten Mike Tyson by unanimous decision, after eight rounds of boxing at two minutes each.

Tyson came out the blocks strong, but as the fight went on, Paul grew into the fight and started to dominate the 58-year-old, landing far more punches on Iron Mike has the rounds went on.

Paul looked to have dominated by the end, as according to Netflix, the 27-year-old landed 78 punches from 278 thrown (28 percent), while Tyson landed just 18 punches from 97 thrown (18 percent), as the gulf in age was highlighted to boxing fans.

Millions tuned in to the fight as it broadcast live from the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, live on streaming platform Netflix.

It was a first of its kind boxing event for Netflix, organised by Paul’s company Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), with eight fights in total taking place in the centre of the stadium that is home to the Dallas Cowboys.

Already tonight, some fans have endured streaming problems while trying to get the fight up, while millions at home were treated, or jump-scared, to Tyson’s bare a** in his locker room following a pre-fight interview.

Rescheduled from 20 July, it was originally called off due to serious health problems suffered by Tyson, 58, while on a plane.

Paul, 27, pocketed $40m (£31.1m) from the fight with Tyson taking home roughly $20m (£15.4m).

“I’m here to make $40m and knock out a legend,” Paul had boldly said before the bout.

Going into the fight, Paul was the bookies’ favourite, odds on at 2/5. Tyson was placed at 12/5 with a draw priced at 9/1.

Rules for the fight differed to normal professional bouts sanctioned by boxing federations, with 14oz gloves instead of 10z, two-minute rounds instead of three-minute, and eight rounds instead of the usual 12.

Heading in to the fight, Paul boasted a 10-1 record, with his only loss coming against Tommy Fury. Iron Mike, who hadn’t fought professionally in 20 years, had a 50-6-2 record.

Jake Paul and Mike Tyson are set to exchange blows in a heavyweight boxing match viewed by millions around the world tonight, live on Netflix.

But there will be strict rules both fighters have to follow when it comes to the fight being a fully sanctioned, professional bout.

Taking place in Arlington, Texas, the two boxers will make millions when they finally fight at the home of the Dallas Cowboys with more than 70,000 spectators expected to turn up and take their seats, with a number of famous faces to gather around ringside.

Tensions have risen in the build up to the fight, with Tyson slapping Paul at their weigh-in and final face-to-face encounter last night (14 November).

Taking to the ring at 10pm CT on Friday (15 November), the ring walks for both fighters will be at roughly 4am GMT on Saturday (16 November) for UK viewers. The undercard will begin around three hours before this.

As part of the regulations set out by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, Tyson has already had to pass a brain test (EEG) and a heart test (EKG) before being allowed to step inside the ring.

And the regulations don’t stop there, with Paul explaining specific drug testing rules that are in place for the fight.

Paul recently made an appearance on the Suga Sean O’Malley podcast, where he clarified the drug-test rules for the fight.

“Having the lifestyle that he’s had, his natural testosterone can’t be that high, so hopefully he’s able to get boosted up a little bit.”

Replying to the testosterone comments Paul said: “Well, there’s like a big, panel, drugs test from the Texas State Commission.”

Tyson has openly admitted to his recreational drug use, with him being an avid user of psychedelic substances. In August, he even said he ‘always trains on mushrooms’, in reference to his consumption of magic mushrooms.

Making the comment on Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast, he said consuming them ‘makes him feel beautiful’.

“They take me to heaven, baby,” he said.

Paul has had to come out and deny that he uses performance enhancing drugs after meritless steroid accusations were put his way.

“First of all, obviously none of that is true,” Paul said on a podcast ahead of one of his fights, even publishing his own negative drugs tests to prove he is clean.

Under Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation rules, boxers cannot be under the influence of any drugs, unless prescribed by your doctor.

Boxers cannot engage in the manufacture, sale, distribution, use, or possession of illegal drugs at any time.

And the drugs for which tests are required under the regulations are marijuana, cocaine, amphetamines, phencyclidine (PCP), and opiates.

Jake Paul is the favourite to win the fight with bookmakers, coming in at 13/18 while Tyson is priced at 2/1. The draw is currently even.

Jake Paul emerged victorious in his bout against Mike Tyson on Friday night (15 November), and the latter addressed something odd that he continued doing throughout the fight.

After eight rounds of boxing that were two minutes each, Paul came out on top via unanimous decision, defeating Iron Mike in the first-of-its-kind event on Netflix.

But fans noticed something peculiar during the biggest ever US boxing event outside of Las Vegas, as it looked like the 58-year-old Tyson kept touching his mouth throughout the fight.

The odd behaviour was picked up by reporters too, as one asked why he did it.

The announcer asked: “Was it a mouthpiece issue, or were you just biting on your glove?”

Mike Tyson answered: “I have a habit of biting my glove.”

The announcer replied: “Why?”

To which, Tyson oddly admitted: “I have a biting fixation.”

However, some of this bigger fans took to social media to defend him, as they think it should be common knowledge to boxing fans.

Taking to X, one user wrote: “My man, Tyson’s mouthpiece is fine.

“He bites his gloves. He’s done it forever. Stop talking about his mouthpiece.”

Another pointed out: “Tyson’s ‘I have a biting fixation’ comment in the post-fight interview when asked if he was biting his glove or having issues with his mouthguard is up there with some of the all-time funniest”

A third joked: “Tyson has chewed on his gloves more times than he’s used them to throw an actual punch.”

The biting comments from Tyson come almost 30 years after the infamous incident where he bit off Evander Holyfield’s ear in the ring, during a bout in June 1997.

Fans tonight have already been given a jump-scare as footage from Tyson’s locker room revealed that his bare a** was out, while some fans have endured streaming problems while trying to get the fight up.

Paul’s walk-out song in homage to Tyson’s role in The Hangover film also caught the attention of viewers.
