“Drake Loses $355K After Betting Against Jake Paul in Tyson Showdown”
In a blockbuster boxing match at Arlington’s AT&T Stadium, Jake Paul defeated legendary fighter Mike Tyson in a unanimous decision, leaving rapper Drake $355,000 lighter.
Known for his daring sports bets, Drake had backed Tyson to win, but the result extended the infamous “Drake Curse.”
The fight, attended by 65,000 spectators, became a major pay-per-view event, with some VIP tickets reportedly costing $2 million. Paul, who aimed to earn $40 million from the bout, is expected to walk away with a massive payout, while Tyson’s purse is estimated at $20 million.
Despite the financial stakes, both fighters emphasized that legacy, not just money, drove them to the ring. For Drake, however, the loss highlights his ongoing streak of bad betting luck.
