Tyron Woodley vs. Jake Paul is going to be one of the most talked-about events of the year. Woodley was recently cut from the UFC after losing to Vicente Luque in his last fight. Meanwhile, Jake Paul is coming off a stunning KO victory over Ben Askren.
Tyron Woodley's agent Malki Kawa revealed the purse T-Wood will take home in an interview with MMA Fighting. When his agent was asked about the details of the contract, Kawa responded enthusiastically.
"Yeah, he's getting paid really well. It's one of the best deals I've ever done. It's a tremendous deal. He's getting a large base number, he's getting a cut of the pay-per-view globally. He should walk away with a multi-million dollar payday. His base guarantee is in the millions already, but add on all the other extra stuff, it's a really nice payday."

"I'm proud of the work we do, I've always been proud of everything we've done. Everything we did was always with our client's best interest (in mind). We've always fought for them to get what we think they deserve. Sometimes, we hit a home run, sometimes we hit a double or a triple."
