The Canadian rapper has $450,000 on Jon Jones defeating Stipe Miocic on Saturday, November 16, even though Mike Tyson may have lost.
Drake’s finances suffered as a result of Jake Paul defeating Mike Tyson via unanimous decision in the boxing ring on Friday, November 15.
“I’m here [with] money on the line for today and [tomorrow], even though I’m late.” Drake posted a screenshot of the wager to Instagram with the message, “Stake, I need some dubs.” Had he been successful, the compensation would have exceeded $1 million.
Even though many people were disappointed by Paul’s victory, it wasn’t shocking considering that he was more than 30 years older than Tyson. In addition, the boxing great threw the odds against him in his two authorized bouts with Danny Williams in 2004 and Kevin McBride in 2005.
Paul, however, is fresh off victories earlier in the season over Ryan Bourland and Mike Perry. The social media star acknowledged that she was holding back during the post-match conference on Friday. He revealed, “I didn’t want to hurt someone [who] didn’t need to be hurt, but I wanted to give the fans a show.” “I tried to give it my all, but it’s difficult to make a fight exciting when someone is barely making it through the ring. I was unable to get him to interact with me, make a move, or do anything truly amazing.
Drake’s chances of winning when he gambled against Paul appear to be dwindling. He bet $250,000 on Nate Diaz defeating the YouTuber-turned-boxer in Dallas in August 2023. The Canadian rapper then wagered $400,000 on Paul defeating Tommy Fury in February of that year, but Fury prevailed via split decision.
Regarding music, in August Drake released “No Face” with Playboi Carti, “SOD,” and “Circadian Rhythm.” It was the Grammy Award winner’s second three-pack after his highly publicized battle with Kendrick Lamar.
