Jake Paul anticipates financial setback in non-PPV match against Andre August
Jake Paul, after a unanimous decision victory against Nate Diaz, is gearing up for his upcoming match against Andre August on December 15. However, the high-profile boxer has recently dropped a surprising bombshell, suggesting that this fight might not be a lucrative venture for him.
In an interview with TMZ Sports, Paul revealed:
"This is probably just a break-even fight for me. I probably won't even make money on it. Who knows what the outcome is. It's $200,000 for a private jet, you know, to fly around just to get the team there and back. When you factor in all of these things, it's not about the money; it's really about focusing in, staying sharp, and the experience of challenging myself in the ring."
