Was Logan Paul unhappy with Drake? From his reactions, it certainly appears that way. The WWE superstar seemed displeased with the Canadian rap legend’s recent move to bet on a Mike Tyson victory. The former heavyweight champion and Logan Paul’s younger brother fought an epic clash at the Cowboys Stadium. On the same card, champions Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano went against each other for the undisputed light welterweight title.

Given ‘The Problem Child’s youth—he is 30 years junior to Tyson—and an active boxing record, many expected him to defeat the former heavyweight champion. However, going against the tide, Drake, who is known for placing high-stakes bets on combat sports, reportedly placed a $355,000 wager on ‘Iron’ Mike. Despite his 58 years, many believed that Tyson had the skills to overpower a crossover boxer who shifted base from YouTube content-making to professional boxing just four years ago.

Drake aligns with Mike Tyson in the betting ring

“This mother**ker Drake bet $355,000 on Mike Tyson,” staring at the mobile screen, Logan Paul responded when a reporter wanted to know what he was watching so keenly. That only roused her curiosity. “It’s kind of f**ked up?” She asked. “Extremely,” replied ‘The Maverick’.

Drake’s tryst with combat sports betting is fairly well known. The Toronto-born artist’s latest move might have surprised many. Just last year, he wagered $400,000 on Jake Paul to knockout Tommy Fury, Tyson Fury’s brother.

Drake’s bets in combat sports invariably lead to discussions about the infamous ‘Drake Curse’. In one of the episodes of his podcast, Jake Paul, who eventually suffered his first defeat to Fury, reflected, “When Drake finally bet on me against Tommy Fury, I lost as well. I feel like it’s actually real.”

Some fans may not have forgotten Francis Ngannou‘s loss to Anthony Joshua early in March this year. Reportedly, Drake had placed a $600,000 bet on ‘The Predator’. However, as it turned out, Ngannou lost the highly anticipated fight by second-round KO!

Jake Paul defeats Mike Tyson: Drake’s gamble fails

In the end, Jake Paul triumphed over Mike Tyson via unanimous decision. No sooner had the news of Drake placing his bet on ‘Iron’ Mike surfaced; it seems, voices of concern soon started surfacing. Perhaps echoing the sentiments of several like-minded followers, noted writer-director Jed I. Goodman cryptically remarked, “It is all over.”

Against a bet of $355,000, Drake was expected to cash in nearly $1,000,000 had Mike Tyson won. It was no surprise that users aired their most emotional responses. In a recent interview, Jake Paul suggested calling out Canelo Alvarez for a cruiserweight bout next year. Whether Alvarez accepts the challenge remains to be seen. But what would happen if Drake placed his bet on him? Will Alvarez lose out to ‘The Problem Child’? The poser might be worrying for many diehard fans.

The Jake Paul versus Mike Tyson fight lived up to its high drama billing at the AT&T Stadium. What did you think of the fight and the buzz surrounding Drake’s wager?
