Jake Paul reveals the insane amount of money he has made from boxing

YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul has revealed that he made $45 million from professional boxing last year.

While we saw plenty of fighters have a lot of success in 2021, few were rewarded quite as handsomely as Jake Paul on the financial side of things. His ability to transition so seamlessly into combat sports has enabled him to generate quite the buzz, largely due to the following he already had from social media and his time on Disney Channel.

A couple of victories over a fellow YouTuber and a former NBA star got him started on the professional side of things and from there, things have snowballed.

In the last twelve months, the man known as ‘The Problem Child’ has fought Ben Askren once and Tyron Woodley twice. In all three fights he was able to secure the win and in two of them, he landed a nasty knockout shot to boost his stock even further.

Along the way he’s made a few more enemies on the mixed martial arts side of things with one of them being Dana White.

Paul has taken exception to the standard pay structure handed out to most fighters on the UFC roster and in doing so, has been able to grow the conversation and debate to a level that was previously unheard of.

In a preview of his Real Sports episode, Paul was asked by Bryant Gumbel about how much money he made from his work inside the squared circle in 2021.

“$45 million, yeah.”

Gumbel then proceeded to ask Paul how he’s been able to build his empire.

“Man, you know, innovation I think, and doing things differently, and knocking people out.”

It all started three years ago, when @JakePaul decided his 70 million followers on social media might enjoy watching him box another YouTube star. Now he’s earning more money than every other boxer in the world. Catch a new
