Jake Paul made whopping “eight-figures” from the Nate Robinson fight: Watch

Despite holding a professional boxing record of 2-0, YouTuber Jake Paul is already making more than some elite-level boxers. The 23-year-old is very fresh in the boxing game, making his professional boxing debut in January 2020. His first bout was against fellow YouTuber AnEsonGib, whom he defeated by knock out in the second round. He then went on to KO former NBA player Nate Robinson at the Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr card which took Twitter by storm.

Jake Paul has barely spent a few minutes inside the ring across both fights, however, he’s already taking home a good purse for his efforts. Earlier, it was reported that both Jake Paul and Nate Robinson made only $600 each for their fight, but recently Jake Paul revealed how much he actually earned from the Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr event. While talking to ESPN, The Problem Child made it clear that he earned way more than $600.
