Jake Paul scored a consentaneous choice success over Mike Tyson in the boxing ring on Friday (Nov. 15), and Drake’s wallet took a hit due to the fact that of it.
“I’m late, however I’m here [with] cash on the line for today and [tomorrow]Stake, I require some calls,” Drake captioned his Instagram post along with a screenshot of the wager. If things had actually gone his method, the payment would’ve topped $1 million.
Paul’s win, although bittersweet for lots of, wasn’t precisely unexpected provided the 30-plus-year age space in between him and Tyson. Not to point out, the boxing legend made the chances less beneficial in his 2 approved battles with Kevin McBride and Danny Williams in 2005 and 2004, respectively.
On the other hand, Paul is coming off of wins versus Mike Perry and Ryan Bourland previously in the year. Throughout Friday’s post-match conference, the social networks character confessed to keeping back. “I wished to offer the fans a program, however I didn’t wish to injure somebody [who] didn’t require to be harmed,” he shared. “I attempted to offer the very best battle I perhaps could, however when somebody’s simply enduring in the ring, it’s difficult to make it interesting. I could not actually get him to engage me or slip shots and do something incredibly cool or whatever.”
When it comes to Drake, his luck in wagering versus Paul appears to be running cold. In August 2023, he bet $250,000 on Nate Diaz beating the YouTuber-turned-boxer in Dallas. In February of the exact same year, the Canadian rap artist put $400,000 on Paul taking out Tommy Fury, just for the latter fighter to win by a split choice.
On the music side, Drake unloaded “No Face” including Playboi Carti, “SOD” and “Circadian Rhythm” in August. It functioned as the Grammy Award-winning artist’s 2nd three-pack following his much-talked-about fight with Kendrick Lamar.
