JAKE PAUL and Anthony Joshua’s blockbuster bout guarantees two things – entertainment and millions.
Social media sensation Paul was all set to face Gervonta Davis last month before Tank pulled out due to ongoing legal battles.
And after scrambling around for a replacement opponent, AJ stepped up by agreeing to a Judgement Day fight in Miami.
The Netflix bout naturally received criticism due to the size and experience between the two superstars.
But with the astronomical figures on the table, it is easy to see the appeal to both boxers.
SunSport can reveal the fight purse ahead of TONIGHT’S huge bust-up.
What is the Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua fight purse?
SunSport understands that the total fight purse on the table is a mouthwatering £200million.
And AJ is expected to pocket around £100m for the Netflix main event while Paul banks the other £100m.
This is now £40m MORE than Joshua’s previous career-high payday against Andy Ruiz Jr in 2019.
Over 100million people tuned in to Netflix’s boxing debut; last November’s similarly controversial inter-generational scrap between Paul and Mike Tyson, then 58.
And promoters will feel confident that a fight of this magnitude will attract similar, if not more, viewers.
Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua – all the info
A true Christmas miracle!
The world will stand still TOMORROW NIGHT as the face of British boxing, Anthony Joshua, is all set to go up against YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul.
AJ steps in on a month’s notice after Paul’s ‘David vs Goliath’ Gervonta Davis clash was axed due to Tank’s civil suit case.
And Joshua will be desperate not to suffer the same fate as legends Mike Tyson and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, who both lost to YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul.
Particularly as a handsome figure was negotiated to get this Judgement Day deal over the line due to AJ’s DAZN contract.
