Jake Paul and the monetization of pains
Anthony Joshua has total career earnings well over $275 million and an estimated net worth of $150 million (before the Paul fight payday). His biggest paydays prior to the Paul fight were around $57.5 million for his rematch with Andy Ruiz Jr. and $50 million for fighting Francis Ngannou.
Jake Paul stated his career earnings surpassed $160 million in 2025, averaging around $40 million per year from boxing for the past four years. His net worth is estimated at around $200 million after the Joshua fight earnings.
Before the Joshua fight, his highest single payday was reportedly $40 million from the Mike Tyson bout in 2024.
Boxing must be banned. It is such a brutal “sport”. I find it hard to understand how humanbeings can delight in two other beings inflicting pain on each other in the name of entertainment.
It is disgusting!
