Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley both received the same purse for Sunday’s Showtime boxing match. Paul and Woodley were paid $2 million each for the eight-round fight at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland, according to documents obtained by MMA Junkie from the Ohio State Athletic Commission on Tuesday. Paul defeated Woodley by split decision , improving to 4-0 in his young boxing career. It was the professional boxing debut for Woodley, who is a former UFC welterweight champion. Paul, who’s been a vocal advocate for fighter pay in MMA and boxing, said prior to the fight that he would take money “directly out of my purse” and distribute it to fighters on the card so they would receive “the biggest pay-day that they’ve ever had as a fighter.” It’s unclear if Paul followed through.
