The much-awaited Tommy Fury and Jake Paul fight just wrapped up and Fury took the win, but the question is how much did the British boxer make from the fight?

Fury beat Jake in a split decision that ended the latter's win streak. 

According to Sports Zion, Fury was given $2million as a base salary and would also gain 35% of the profits earned from PayPer View streams. Additionally, he also managed to bag a further $1million as winning bonus. 

Jake would pay out extra $500,000 from his own earnings. So if the former stays true to his words, Fury would earn a total of $6 million. 

While the pay check seems huge, it is nothing in comparison to what Jake reportedly made from the fight. 

How much did Jake Paul win? 

Jake was guaranteed $3.2 million as a base salary and would receive 65% of the profits, If you minus the amount Jake betted, he would be making a shocking amount of $8.1 million. 

It should not be surprising that Jake's earnings were more than the British boxer as the YouTube personality is widely more popular and due to his notoriety he has become the most paid boxer. 

However, the two would again face off in a future re-match and only time will tell if the round 2 will bring in even more money for the each fighter in the ring.
