JAKARTA - Jake Paul successfully defeated Anderson Silva by unanimous decision on Saturday night. The famous YouTuber not only beat Brazilian fighters but also made a lot of money.
Prior to the fight, Jake had already secured a revenue guarantee of 1.5 million US dollars. However, that has not been added to the money generated from pay per view (PPV).
It is estimated that The Problem Child pocketed around USD 4 million. Not bad for someone who several years ago never imagined himself fighting professionally against the UFC legend.
Jake's increase in his first fight was very significant. Reporting from Marca, for the fight against Ben Askren, who he eliminated in one round last year, he earned 600 thousand US dollars - a huge amount for a fighter early in his career.
As for Silva, he pocketed more than $1 million, nor is he bad for a 47-year-old retired fighter.
The fight between the two men itself shocked many people. Their duel presents high-level boxing.
Jake looks even more solid in the ring. However, he still continues to receive criticism for not facing tougher boxers.
