Just days before their boxing match in Saudi Arabia, Jake Paul and Tommy Fury agreed to a bet with massive financial implications.
If Paul beats Fury, then Paul takes the British boxer’s purse for the fight. In other words, Fury will make nothing if he loses. However, if Fury defeats Paul, then the YouTube star will double his opponent’s payout.
After verbally sparring back and forth, Fury agreed to the deal and shook Paul’s hand, making the all-or-nothing bet official.
The bet is on: Tommy Fury has agreed to give up his ENTIRE fight purse if he loses to Jake Paul, but will get 2x the payout if he wins. 😳#PaulFury | More: https://t.co/EaT771fUIr pic.twitter.com/YQAQqs92Tc
