Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua purses and payouts: How much are the boxers reportedly making?

Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua are set to throw down in a professional heavyweight boxing match in Miami this weekend. The main card for the event also features a blockbuster fight between former UFC icons Anderson Silva and Tyron Woodley. Ahead of the highly anticipated event, let's take a closer look at how much money these fighters could be set to take home.

According to reports, the Paul-Joshua fight could potentially break records in terms of purse split. Last month, the Daily Mail reported that the Paul-Joshua fight had a prize pot of $184 million and would be split evenly between the two men.

Intriguingly, 'The Problem Child' later took to X and seemingly revealed that the prize money was a whopping $267 million. If we consider Paul's cryptic X post to be a reference to their fight purse, an even split would see both men take home a mind-boggling $133.5 million.

Going by their previous earnings, we could assume that the two UFC veterans are potentially looking at a high seven-figure or low eight-figure payday this weekend.
