Jake Paul Makes a Bold Claim Ahead of Tyron Woodley Rematch-“I Can Make 250 Million Dollars From This Sport”

Jake Paul is rapidly climbing ladders to success in his boxing tenure and envisions himself becoming a world champion somewhere down the line. However, there’s an added reason why ‘The Problem Child’ is pushing his limits to become a boxer. The 24-year-old currently holds a 4-0 professional run, with zero pro-boxers in his resume.

But Paul has already beaten two former UFC fighters in the boxing ring and that’s quite a start to his career, at least financially. After seeing legitimate success in his social media career, Paul’s boxing journey has blessed him with lucrative paydays and he is already a multi-millionaire.

However, he is still not close to seeing the similar financial success that the A-listed pugilists like Floyd Mayweather or Canelo Alvarez have witnessed. And Jake Paul clearly wants to relish the same. Ahead of his re-match against Woodley, Paul explained how finances drive him to dig deep.

In a Showtime feature, Jake Paul said, “The Woodley fight left me with a ego check and I realized I have a lot of fundamentals and things to work on. I can make 250 million dollars from this sport, all I gotta do is keep winning. I would be an idiot to let this slip through my hands, to fumble this bag.”
