How much did Jake Paul make against Nate Diaz? Exploring the fight purse rumors

Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz fight purses haven't yet been released, but some estimates have been reported.

'The Problem Child' made his return to the ring over the weekend. The clash was Paul's first since his loss to Tommy Fury in February. Furthermore, the boxing match was also the YouTuber's longest to date, slated for ten rounds.

While the former UFC title challenger put forth a spirited effort, he still came up short. Paul scored a fifth-round knockdown, propelling himself to a unanimous decision win. While Diaz felt that he would take over in the later rounds, that didn't happen.

Nonetheless, this was expected to be a career payday for Nate Diaz. However, Jake Paul's fight purse was somewhat of a mystery heading into the event. In fight week, the YouTuber revealed that he made upwards of $30 million for his loss to Fury in Saudi Arabia in the spring.

As of now, the Texas State Athletic Commission has declined to release payouts related to the event. However, estimates have come out, with The Independent reporting that Paul earned a minimum of $2 million for the event as his fight purse.

That being said, as the promoter, he will earn much more than that. Paul will receive additional cash from pay-per-view points, as well as any additional ticket sales or extra bonuses. All in all, he'll likely clear well over $10 million dollars when all is said and done, and that's a low estimate.
