As reported by Sportico, Jake Paul has earned around $20 million since making his boxing debut in 2020. Furthermore, Forbes recently reported that the YouTube megastar and his boxing promotion (Most Valuable Promotions) plan to continue capitalizing on his crossover appeal in the boxing realm.
Canelo is only boxer to crack @Sportico's 100 top-paid athletes. Just missing the cut: @anthonyjoshua & @jakepaul; both at $20M+ counting in/out of the ring $. Full list: sportico.com/personalities/… https://t.co/geHiQBAtsP
Despite recent reports that Paul's rematch with Tyron Woodley garnered just 65k buys on cable and satellite pay-per-view, the consensus is that the digital streaming numbers could be much higher.
The PPV number rumors are bullshit
1st fight w Woodley we sold 500k+
Numbers for this one are still rolling in but still looking positive
Not my best business night
But remember.. Everyone wanted to see me Vs. Fury and that’s what we sold..
As a result, Paul’s latest fight’s overall pay-per-view sales “could be through the roof.”
Digital numbers could be through the roof as Showtime did well in streaming on Mayweather-Paul and Paul-Woodley 1. Can only report what I know on one end. Hopefully the streaming numbers did very well. twitter.com/notoriousjtb/s…
One of the most memorable combat sports feuds of 2021 was that of Mayweather vs. the Paul brothers. ‘Money’ retired from professional boxing in August 2017. That said, he's had a couple of exhibition boxing matches in 2020 and 2021 respectively.
Floyd Mayweather’s most recent exhibition boxing match transpired in June 2021 against Logan Paul, Jake Paul’s elder brother. In the build-up to the fight between ‘Money’ and Logan, Jake snatched Mayweather’s hat during a promotional event. This led to the infamous ‘Gotcha Hat’ brawl that garnered worldwide headlines.

Chael Sonnen suggests that most boxers are “jealous” of Jake Paul
In an edition of Beyond the Fight, Chael Sonnen was all praise for YouTube megastar Jake Paul. Sonnen indicated that ‘The Problem Child’ isn’t hurting the sport of boxing, but is helping it.
The MMA legend suggested that most other boxers are jealous of Jake Paul, adding that they ought to learn the art of fight promotion from ‘The Problem Child’. Sonnen said:
