Jake Paul revealed his expected purse for his bout against Mike Tyson during their heated pre-fight press conference.

Paul and Tyson once again came face-to-face in a pre-fight presser ahead of their pro contest on November 15.

They've already exchanged words, having held a press conference before their original date - which was postponed after the boxing legend fell ill.

On Sunday, Paul and Tyson renewed hostilities as they went at it during a presser in New York.

'The Problem Child' proposed a major rule change before revealing what he's set to earn for their November clash.

He said: "I'm here to make $40 million and knock out a legend... I don't give a f**k about anything else."

The 27-year-old added: "[Mike] is the one that wanted it to be a pro fight, so he's going to get his ass knocked out [and have it count for his real professional record]. You're going to see on BoxRec, Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson. Jake Paul KOs Mike Tyson."



Fans online made their feelings clear after Paul disclosed his pay cheque for his fight against Tyson.

One X user wrote: "Folks are going to pay to watch this... that’s wild..."

A second said: "We are living in the scammers paradise era."

A third commented: "Whoever gave him [money bag emoji, ain’t getting that $40 million back lol."

Of course, Tyson was forced to withdraw from their July date as he required medical attention on a flight after suffering an ulcer flare.

Former UFC fighter and Bare Knuckle FC star Mike Perry replaced the ex-world heavyweight champion as he succumbed to Paul's power, losing in the sixth round via TKO.

'Iron' Mike, meanwhile, hasn't fought in a pro setting since his shock defeat to Ireland's Kevin McBride back in 2005.

But his last appearance in a ring came in an exhibition against fellow boxing great Roy Jones Jr back in 2020.
