This weekend, ‘The Problem Child’ Jake Paul is again set to face BKFC fighter The 32-year-old. Perry, known for his BKFC exploits, is also a significant figure in the ring, known for his power, who might give Paul the toughest test yet. Meanwhile, the big question is who will earn more from this crossover boxing match? Will Paul’s stardom bring in the bigger payday, or will Perry be the one to see his bank account grow significantly?

When it comes to payday, the popular fighter generally makes more in these events. Perry says his purse for the fight against Jake Paul is roughly what he gets at BKFC.

“Platinum,” who is 5-0 in bare-knuckle boxing, earned $600,000 for his first-round win over Thiago Alves in April. His earnings for this fight could be similar or higher with strong pay-per-view sales.

On the other hand, the YouTube-turned-boxer has significant earning power, making around $3.2 million for his bout with Tommy Fury, plus a 65% share of the pay-per-view revenue. While Paul’s exact purse for this fight isn’t disclosed, he’s expected to earn more than Perry.

While Paul was scheduled to fight the legendary Mike Tyson in November, the bout was canceled due to the latter’s health concerns. There is no doubt that Paul has worked hard enough to establish himself in the boxing world, and whenever he fights, there’s high excitement for his bouts with major names in combat sports.

Meanwhile, after his exit from the UFC, Perry has elevated himself in every aspect, from fame to earning millions from BKFC—he has done it all.
