Jake Paul leaks details of Tommy Fury’s seven-figure purse for KSI fight

Paul and Fury were both paid massive purses for their fight in Saudi Arabia back in February, with the Brit expecting to pocket another massive payout to face his countryman KSI

Jake Paul has claimed Tommy Fury will be paid $1.5million for his fight with KSI this October, likely to take place at the AO Arena in Manchester.

The American YouTube star faced Fury in Saudi Arabia this February, with the pair earning significantly more than that for their effort due to to huge payouts offered in the Middle East relative to market value. But it will be another big purse for the 24-year-old, who has seemingly swapped his world title ambitions for a move into the influencer boxing space.

Fury defeated Paul by split decision, although despite being knocked down in the eighth he dominated the fight in most viewer’s eyes. Even though the pair had a rematch clause, it is expected that they will each take on another bout in the meantime before facing off sometime early next year.

Speaking on his podcast BS with Jake Paul, the American leaked the purse when he said: “KSI is offering you like $1.5m which is way underpaid for Tommy, especially coming off that win, Tommy should be making $5-6m and it’s crazy and bizarre to me that Tommy is even entertaining that.
