YouTuber Jake Paul fought former NBA star Nate Robinson in November 2020. ‘The Problem Child’ earned a knockout finish in his second fight as a professional boxer. Robinson, a former NBA player, showed his athleticism early in the fight as he was leaping in with his attacks.

However, Paul managed to evade those attacks and he eventually started to establish his authority. He dropped Robinson at the end of the first round but the latter managed to get up. He even signaled the referee that the punch was not something to worry about. But there was a certain pattern to him trying to headhunt Paul which proved to be the recipe for disaster.

Paul started to find his rhythm in the second round and landed some clean combinations. A looping right hand earned him the second knockdown of the fight. But Robinson got up yet again. Another three-punch combo, ending with a short right hand on the chin, left the former NBA player out cold as he dropped face-first into the canvas. Paul extended his record to 2-0 in the process.

How much did Jake Paul earn from his fight against Nate Robinson?

The Paul vs Robinson event took place on the undercard of the Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr. Initially, it was reported that both fighters made only $600 from their fight, which might come as a surprise to many.
