Mike Tyson continues to make money off Jake Paul with the boxing legend now set to take another $1 million off ‘The Problem Child’.
On Friday, history was made when Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano competed in a legendary trilogy fight, headlining an all-women’s card which featured five world title fights, all streamed live on Netflix.
The two last clashed against each other on the undercard of Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson last November, when Paul controversially beat Tyson via unanimous decision.
And ahead of their epic trilogy, Paul once again put his promoter hat on and did everything he could to make the event as big as possible, even setting a Guinness World Record.

‘The Problem Child’ was of course hopeful that Serrano would pick up the win as she is one of Most Valuable Promotions fighters, and Jake has had a lot to do with promoting fights during the back-end of her career.
And with that, ahead of their fight, Paul wagered a huge $1 million bet with Mike Tyson, that if Serrano won, Tyson would pay him $1 million, but if Taylor completed the trilogy with three wins, Tyson would receive $1 million.
The Irish superstar went on to put on another incredible performance and this time, she walked away with the majority decision win, retaining her super-lightweight championship.
“Congrats to Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano on the trilogy fight on Netflix. Jake Paul, see you at dinner to collect my million!” Tyson reacted in a post on X.

Despite his fighter having lost her third fight against Taylor, it is fair to say the event was a huge success for Paul, who continues to shine a light on women’s boxing in an incredible way.
“Women won tonight. Congratulations,” Paul posted on X.
Despite his own career being deemed controversial, Paul is beginning to garner respect from his peers and fans in the boxing world, not only for his work outside of the ring, but his recent performances inside it too.
After such a monumental event, ‘The Problem Child’ is likely chomping at the bit to lace up his own gloves again, and continue his own pursuit of becoming a world champion.
