Jake Paul is set to go head-to-head with his intense rival Tommy Fury on February 26 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Despite the bout being a nontitle contest, he has drawn the entire combat sports fraternity’s attention. The man certainly deserves credit for his marketability. But instead, he earns ire because of his background. Experienced boxers often underestimate his in-ring IQ and question his legitimacy. That goes without saying, the YouTuber turned boxer is making millions. This has landed him on the hot seat. This is the reason when the former super middleweight champion Carl Froch called him out, ‘The Problem Child’ had a few choice words to say about his worth.

He did not turn down the latter’s offer but instead put forth a condition. In his recent tweet, Jake Paul wrote, “Carl Froch mad because I made more in 1 year than he made his whole career. You want the payday. I get it. So let’s do this, fight Anderson Silva @SpiderAnderson on my next card & if you get lucky & beat him, then we can step in the ring & you make your career payday. LMK.”

No doubt, the Ohio-based boxing sensation is making more than some of the reigning champions. Through his witty chatter and brash personality, he manages to sell out arenas on fight nights and generates high PPV sales. Interestingly there is another aspect to the story. The 6-0 boxer’s former opponents were retired champions, however, from the world of MMA.

How much money did Jake Paul make last year?

Stunning the entire boxing crowd, Paul appeared on Forbes’ highest-paid athlete’s list in 2022. It was a big milestone for the 25-year-old fighter because, unlike other boxers on the list, he is not a world champion. In a short career spanning only a few years, he has managed to stack up six fights on his resume.

According to Sportico, the social media personality made $37 million. With these lucrative earnings, Forbes gave him the 45th spot on the list. So if he claims that Froch is calling him out because of a payday, it is safe to say that it makes sense.
