Jake Paul is a fairly famous name on social networks with 20 million Subscribe on YouTube. Recently his reputation was further resounded after defeating Ben Askren, the former MMA champion of the world on the boxing floor.
During the match of Askren, there was only a pretty dangerous hook, the rest was just hugging Paul. But in just 1 minute and 12 seconds of the match, Jake Paul launched a hand after lowering the former MMA champion. Although Askren could stand up but did not keep their balance well, the referee had ended the match and the result was a TKO victory for Jake Paul.
Although the match is entertaining only, it has attracted a large number of fans to watch. Recently, Jake Paul has announced on his personal Instagram page that: “1.5 million people pay to watch this match …. The amount collected up to 75 million USD”
It is unclear whether the above figure is authentic or just a moss of Jake Paul. But if this Fight Club actually attracts 1.5 million paid people, it will be the second second revenue event this year, only after Conor McGregor vs. Dustin Poirier 2.
Ben Askren and Jake Paul both collected a bargain from this boxing event. Specifically, Youtuber received $ 690,000 and Askren pocketed $ 500,000.
But this is just a hard salary, not counting the percentage of commission collected after the event. Many people believe that Jake Paul will continue to challenge the MMA boxers who have passed their peak to compare.
