Drake loses staggering sum after placing wager on Mike Tyson to defeat Joke Paul
2024-11-18
As long as it wasn’t widows-and-orphans money.
[FoxNews] Jake Paul defeated Mike Tyson by unanimous decision after eight rounds.

Canadian rapper Drake is not afraid to put his money where his mouth is when it comes to placing massive bets on sporting events.

The former heavyweight champion of the world Mike Tyson and YouTuber-turned professional boxer Jake Paul faced off on Friday night. The long-awaited fight garnered considerable interest and attracted a high volume of wagers.

Drake was confident the 58-year-old Tyson would be able to prevail in the match against the 27-year-old Paul and placed a wager of a few hundred thousand dollars on "Iron Mike." But, Paul ultimately defeated Tyson in a unanimous decision.
Mr. Tyson gave it his best shot, and now he can enjoy a well-earnt retirement, while Mr. Drake can go to work replacing the money he threw away after thoroughly enjoying the adrenaline rush.

#4  I would have bet on Tyson. Like Yogi says, "Old age and treachery will overcome youth and skill".

#3  *also, eldest gave me crap about that olympic boxing event going to a man. Reported that it was a man whose balls never dropped, over simply put, a couple weeks back.

They are seeing through it.

#2  Yes.

So be pleasantly surprised - eldest watched the whole ticket, thought the main bill was a bit too much entertainment and not sport. Really saw through the curtain though with the gal boxers, which was thought to be the wrong decision, backed up by unofficial score win and decision going to the eventual loser.

They are seeing through it.
