Mike Tyson makes massive $13million purchase with huge purse from record-breaking Jake Paul fight
Whilst the fight purses have not been officially disclosed, reports suggest that Jake Paul made around $40 million to fight the former world champion back in November 2024.
Mike Tyson makes $13 million purchase after controversial boxing fight
According to a report from the Palm Beach Post in Florida, Mike Tyson is making the most out of his extra revenue this year and has splashed a whopping $13 million on a new property.
As per a special warranty deed filed earlier this week, Tyson’s new 2.7-acre lot is one of only 78 properties located in the exclusive Tierra del Rey Estates area of Delray Beach and includes access to a private lake
Tyson’s representative on the sale, Joseph Jonathan Schneider, told the outlet “This has been a successful transaction with all the parties demonstrating professionalism and collaboration.
“The Tyson family has been a valued client and friend for many years, and it’s been a pleasure working with them.”
Real Estate broker Matthew Maschler previously explained how Tyson was tempted into purchasing a property in the Tierra del Rey Estates (which translates into ‘Land of the Kings’) after his daughter started playing tennis.
“Basically, the appeal to him is his daughter plays tennis, and she plays in Delray, so he wants to be able to fly in, go see his daughter’s tennis match, go back to his plane and fly to wherever he came from.”
Being able to purchase a $13 million property in such a picturesque location must give Tyson a tremendous boost, especially with family ties in mind, but was it all worth it?
We imagine that had Mike Tyson been knocked out by Jake Paul, the answer to that question would have been wildly different, although fellow combat sports icons are still divided either way.
“I tell you what buddy, that made me want to vomit,” said Frye via garyhgoodridge, sharing how he went home to watch some actual combat sports and not a “fraud” event.
“I was so disgusted with that I had to go home and put in Tommy Hearns and Sugar Ray Robinson and Sugar Ray Leonard and Jake LaMotta, Rocky Marciano; I had to watch some real fighters because if I didn’t, I’d never watch another boxing match again – that was a fraud.”
