Jake Paul bets $40 million purse that he’ll beat Mike Tyson

A fight with Mike Tyson wasn't enough to bet on himself — and Jake Paul is literally putting it all on the line this weekend.

The 'problem child' has promised to bet an absurd amount of money on himself on Friday's match. When female fighter Katie Taylor took on the semi-main event, she bet her entire $40 million purse as the favorite for the big shot.

The fighters were asked to predict whether Paul or Tyson would win, and Taylor and most of the stage said Tyson.

“How much do you want to bet?” Paul answered.

“Would you like to bet your wallet?” Taylor said.

“Yes, I'll bet my wallet,” Paul said without hesitation, shaking Taylor's hand. “transaction.”

Paul once said: “I came here to earn $40 million and beat a legend,” he said in a pre-match press conference.

Taylor is scheduled to earn $6.1 million. According to the Irish Mirror, Tyson, on the other hand, is scheduled to earn $20 million.

The chances of such a bet coming to fruition are extremely slim, but out of thin air, Taylor is betting a $6.1 million check for Tyson to win at odds of around +650.
