JAKARTA - Jake Paul successfully defeated Ben Askren in a battle that was held at the Mercedes-Bez Stadium Atlanta, United States, Saturday, April 17 local time.

Before the fight, Paul and Askren's pay is revealed. Paul was set to receive 690 thousand dollars (Rp10 billion), while Askren received 500 thousand dollars (Rp7.2 billion).

This amount does not include the money they get from their profit percentage and pay-per-view bonuses.

Paul overthrew Ben Askren's knockout in the first round. This victory continued its mission of fighting Conor McGregor.

The YouTube star is often questioned about his abilities. Even though in his first two professional fights he always won, he was deemed unable to beat an experienced fighter like Askren.

However, Paul showed that he is capable with the impressive knockout wins of former UFC fighter and Olympic wrestler Askren.

Paul managed to knock out in just two minutes of the first round with a heavy right hand.

This boxing match is often called a fake fight. Not without reason, Paul is a YouTuber while Askren is a MMA champion who boxed for the first time.

For that, many boxers say the presence of Paul and Askren is an insult to fist fights. But, if you look at the pay, is it still worth mentioning fake?
