The Jake Paul Megathread v2

[Stagliano]

Jake Paul made over 40 million in Boxing in 2021. He says that is not possible in mma set up and business landscape. Says Boxing more visible and freedom on the global market.

40 millions after taxes ?

HE SAYS..

And considering Conor fought twice in 2021. I would not be even remotely surprised if Conor made more than that from fighting alone.

Who gives a flying fuck what this clown says? I’m serious.. The fucking idiot is so braindead he doesn’t realize they are two different sports with diametrically opposed pay scales at the highest level? Yet, the lowest level UFC fighter makes more money than the lowest level boxer.

Fuck this ridiculous fighter pay shit. Especially when comparing boxing to mma. I’m sick of hearing about UFC fighter pay. I’ll give a shit about it the second they care about my pay. It is literally this topic that really shows who the weidos of this fanbase are. If you care more about how much money somebody else makes as compared to your own earnings. You’re flat out creepy as fuck.

You forgot "washed up" and "in a different sport" and "which comprises primarily of the weakest aspect of their MMA skillset" but ok sure

Imagine if some Sherdogger started boxing in 2017 and 4 years later was KOing guys like Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley

Would you still be as dismissive?

 

[Mike]

I mean no shit it's not possible in mma. You have them benching world champs for wanting seven figures for a fight in mma.

Who was fit, huge, had trained a bit, was way younger with a massive height advantage and it was in boxing with zero grappling allowed?


Absolutely.


Askrens boxing is about as good as that goofy Rousey promo gif that goes around every once in a while

 

[Billthebutcher]

#1. who cares? freakshow fights are not legit.
#2. good for him. still-who cares?

 

[true_fan]

I’m extremely happy for him because just like Conor’s fans they love him

 

[WHITEBELT JESUS]

Lol Ngannou going to bounce on UFC after taking Gane’s head.

 

[1s1k]

I believe that about as much as my Father telling me he loves me.

Ouch.

 

[kalabula]

God damn, do ppl hate this guy.

 

[SuperNerd]

wow so much

so mma is so weak a guy picks up a pair of boxing gloves as an adult and can whoop woodley? He was like 38.

getting you’re ass beat by a kid in any form of combat when you’ve done it for a decade is embarrassing.

mma or ufc only fans like yourself make it worse by saying. Of course a kid who picks up gloves in adulthood can beat an mma champion.

shit it was good enough for Colby to get a title shot. And usman winning the title. How long show was that?

 

[MMAFAN2]

Anyone who believes he made 40M is braindead

 

[brownsmith76]

$40 million in 1 year at the age of 24?

I would reject Kattar, Cejudo, Ngannou, etc. and get my head knocked to the ground for $5-$10 million or whatever Tyrone Woodley got.

That boxing deal is much better than mma's.

Dana White is cheap.

"Jake Paul's clash with former UFC star Tyron Woodley did in the region of 480,000 to 500,000 PPV buys".

https://www.mmafighting.com/2021/8/...r-view-price-revealed-for-aug-29-card#content
"“It’s $59.99,” Espinoza said."

500k buys times $60 is $30,000,000.

That's just 1 fight, bro.

Jake Paul has fought multiple times in 2021.

Don't forget the sponsors, merchandise, etc. All of it together can add up to $40 million.

Most MMA fighters who are primarily wrestlers would get rekt in boxing ruls, boxing only fights from most randos who know a thing or two and have a massive size, weight, youth advantage.

Make some more assumptions on what other sports I might or might not know a few things about though, gone well for you so far

 

[Maripucci]

40 millions after taxes ?

If be did its probably gross.

Didn't he also say his ppv sold millions and was a flop?

Not sure how credible he is as a source. He's a legendary troll.

 

[Maripucci]

if the fight had 64k ppv buys at $60 that $3.9m
Smd he fought 10 x In 2021 the promotion would gross $40m.

I'm sure he made most of his money from sponsors.

This is just nuts to me. Sure Paul has been training boxing exclusively (not really) for 4 years, but Woodley has been training it as part of MMA for 15 years. He also has a much higher level of combat sports experience
