It is also understood that his annual income before tax deduction hovers between $20 million and $50 million, generated through boxing fights, YouTube videos, endorsements, and merchandise.
Jake Paul and his advisor Nakisa Bidarian started Most Valuable Promotions in 2021 with the goal of establishing a promotional company.
Paul’s two 2021 bouts with former UFC champion Tyron Woodley were supported by the promotion. Even the October 2018 fight involving Anderson Silva happened under MVP.
However, the endeavour proved to be successful when MVP promoted a boxing bout on April 30, 2022, between Katie Taylor, the then-undisputed champion, and Amanda Serrano.
Early in January 2023, Jake Paul committed to a multi-year contract with the Professional Fighters League. He has to take part in the mixed martial arts franchise’s promotional events as part of the arrangement.
He would therefore be referred to as the chief of fighter advocacy. In terms of bouts, he would compete in the PFL’s PPV Super Fight Division and get about half of the pay-per-view sales proceeds.
Jake Paul also has stock in Betr, a sports business that bills itself as the creator of the first direct-to-consumer micro-betting app globally.
The software, which was released in 2022 and is accessible through the Apple and Google Play stores, is purportedly the result of a partnership between Paul and Joey Levy, valued at approximately $300 million, TMZ Sports reports.
Fuel Venture Capital, Roger Ehrenberg of IA Sports Ventures, and Eberg Capital contributed $35 million to the Ohio native’s idea last year.
A sizeable portion of Jake Paul’s total revenue comes from endorsements in addition to boxing fights and other commercial endeavours, essentiallysports.com reports.
“The Problem Child” has also signed lucrative contracts with a number of companies, including the US sports betting company DraftKings, the UK men’s clothing brand boohooMAN, and the New York-based fashion travel accessory manufacturer SPRAYGROUND. More
