Ariel Helwani: Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua Purse ‘$40 to 50’ Million Each

“I heard in the 40 to 50 range,” he said, clarifying it’s “each.” Helwani called it “a massive risk,” suggesting the payday explains why Paul took the bout. He credited Paul’s rise from “literal backyards” and said the numbers are “rough” for longtime fighters. Criticized for his opponent's pick, Paul (12-1) tonight will take on the two-time heavyweight champion.
