Mike Tyson and Jake Paul will add another notable event to their resumes Friday night when the two meet for a fight on Netflix.
With two famous names meeting in the ring, the fight is expected to do well financially.
The fight was originally scheduled for July 20, 2024, but was postponed in May after Tyson had an “ulcer flareup.’ The added build-up and anticipation for the fight may have only upped the interest as the participants are expected to make at least $20 million from the fight.
The fight will take place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, which can hold upwards of 80,000 people. Tickets were found online earlier this week for as low as $44 per ticket when bought as a pair. The most expensive tickets were listed for as much as $447 on ticket websites.
How much is Mike Tyson worth?
Tyson had reportedly earned well over $300 million as a professional fighter in the ring but had filed for bankruptcy back in 2003. Tyson’s last boxing victory came in 2003 against Clifford Etienne. Tyson’s fight on Friday will be just his third since that victory, having lost to Danny Williams in 2004 and Kevin McBride in 2005.
While his current net worth isn’t widely available, the website Celebrity Net Worth estimates it to be $10 million.
How much is Jake Paul worth?
Paul has taken a different path to superstardom. He became a public figure after posting videos on Vine, a since-discontinued video platform in 2013 and reached 5.3 million followers and two billion views.
He also created a YouTube channel that led him to become one of the platform’s top creators in recent years. He is also the brother of internet personality and WWE wrestler Logan Paul.
Jake Paul started his boxing career in 2018 and has a 10-1 record with victories over MMA stars Nate Diaz, Anderson Silva and Tyron Woodley. His only loss came against Tommy Fury in 2023. Paul’s estimated net worth is $80 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
