Legendary Mike Tyson’s comeback bout has rocked the boxing fraternity as expected. 

The bout, which started on Saturday morning (India time), has generated a massive financial spectacle. But how much will the boxers gain from this bout? 

Mike Tyson’s exact pay-out remains undisclosed, boxing industry insiders estimate his earnings could soar to $20 million for this fight. On the contrary, Jake Paul, never one to shy away from talking numbers, hinted at his earnings during an August press conference promoting the fight. “I’m here to make $40 million and knock out a legend,” the YouTuber-turned-boxer boldly declared. 

Known for his ability to pull massive audiences, Paul’s fights continue to break barriers between traditional sports and modern entertainment, ensuring sky-high payouts.

Tyson boasts an impressive 50-6 professional record, with 44 knockouts and two no-contests. In contrast, Jake Paul holds a 10-1 professional record, with seven knockouts, though his opponents have largely been former UFC fighters rather than seasoned boxers. Notable names on Paul’s list include YouTuber Ali Eson Gib and former NBA player Nate Robinson.
