Canadian rapper Drake recently found himself on the losing end of a high-stakes bet, wagering a substantial $355,000 on boxing legend Mike Tyson to defeat Jake Paul. The highly anticipated match, held at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, saw Paul emerge victorious through a unanimous decision.
This outcome further solidified the infamous "Drake Curse," a playful term referring to the rapper's tendency to bet on athletes and teams that subsequently underperform. Whether it's UFC, soccer, or basketball, Drake's high-profile bets often seem to jinx the outcome.
The Tyson-Paul fight was a major pay-per-view event, attracting a massive crowd of 65,000 and featuring VIP tickets priced at a staggering $2 million. While the exact prize money for the fighters remains undisclosed, it's estimated that both Tyson and Paul will receive significant payouts.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Mike Tyson's net worth is around $10 million, while Jake Paul, the YouTuber-turned-boxer, is valued at approximately $80 million. Despite the substantial financial implications, both fighters have expressed a focus on legacy and personal goals beyond monetary rewards.
