Jake Paul Rakes in Record Payday After Beating Mike Tyson in Blockbuster Fight

Jake Paul has hit the jackpot—literally. Earlier this month, the social media sensation-turned-boxer took on the legendary Mike Tyson in a headline-grabbing boxing match. The bout ended with Paul securing a victory, sparking heated debates among fans and critics alike. While some marveled at Paul’s win, others pointed out Tyson’s uphill battle—at 57 years old, the former champ faced a grueling fight after overcoming a serious health scare just months prior.

Tyson may not have walked away with the W, but he still earned widespread respect for stepping into the ring. And the cherry on top? A cool $20 million paycheck for his effort. As for Paul, he recently revealed during an appearance on Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast that this fight wasn’t just about bragging rights—it’s now the highest payday of his career.

“I made a lot of money, the most money I’ve made ever,” Paul admitted, teasing at the astronomical earnings. When Logan asked if the figure was $170 million, Jake responded with a grin, “250 million people. It’s all downhill from here, I peaked.” While he didn’t confirm an exact number, it’s clear the payday was monumental.

Even Tyson had a positive spin on his loss, taking to X/Twitter to reflect on the experience. “This is one of those situations when you lost but still won,” he wrote. “I’m grateful for last night. No regrets to get in the ring one last time. I almost died in June… To have my children see me stand toe-to-toe and finish 8 rounds with a talented fighter half my age… is an experience that no man has the right to ask for. Thank you.”

Jake Paul and Mike Tyson delivered a fight that will be talked about for years—not just for the outcome, but for the stories behind it. From Tyson’s triumphant return to the ring after a life-threatening health scare to Paul’s jaw-dropping payday, this matchup was as much about heart as it was about headlines. Whether you’re a fan of Jake’s antics or Tyson’s legacy, there’s no denying this fight brought all the drama.
