Following Jake Paul’s victory over boxing icon Mike Tyson, American rapper Drake has suffered a loss of $355,000.
The highly anticipated boxing contest was held at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, following a year of fiery confrontations between the two boxers.
Despite Tyson’s famous status, Paul won by unanimous decision, indicating Drake’s trust in the former heavyweight champion was misguided.
The rapper, known for his sports betting habits, had bet heavily on Tyson’s victory, but the outcome reinforced what fans have called the “Drake Curse.”
Drake is known for his high-profile wagers, and his selected victors frequently lose, whether in the UFC, soccer, or basketball.
The event, which brought an amazing 65,000 people to the stadium, was one of the most important pay-per-view events in recent memory, with some VIP seats allegedly costing $2 million.
While the exact prize money amount is unknown, the winner of the battle is expected to walk away with tens of millions of dollars.
Paul, who had openly proclaimed his desire to win $40 million and defeat a “legend,” is anticipated to get a sizable payment.
