Drake Bets $355,000 on Tyson Over Paul

Drake has placed a significant $355,000 bet on Mike Tyson to defeat Jake Paul in their boxing match airing live on Netflix, with potential winnings exceeding $1 million. Despite Tyson being the underdog at +180 odds, the rapper's confidence in his choice is bolstered by a history of high-stakes betting, although he has also faced the infamous 'Drake Curse' that often sees his picks lose. Fight fans are divided, with 85% of bettors favoring Tyson, yet Paul, despite being a favorite, attracted 53% of the total money wagered. Tyson, who hasn't won a professional fight since 2003, last appeared in an exhibition match in 2020 against Roy Jones Jr. The event has generated significant buzz, becoming boxing's top box-office draw outside Las Vegas, and has already amassed more than $17.8 million in ticket sales. The fight will showcase Tyson's return to the ring after nearly two decades, as he aims to defy expectations against the younger Paul.
