“We would expect Jake Paul-Mike Tyson to be the most bet boxing match in BetMGM history.” Seamus Magee, Trading Manager at BetMGM, tells The Post.
YouTuber-turned-fighter Jake Paul has been a bizarre phenomenon in the boxing world, and betting data exclusively obtained by The Post shows that he is perhaps the biggest name in the boxing world today.‘s Senior Vice President and Head of Sports book Patrick Jay tells The Post in an email. “ Jake Paul ’s fights average 17x more bets and 13x higher handle per event than standard boxing events. Compared to Championship boxing events, Jake Paul fights take in an average of 2.5x more bets and 2.
His fight versus Nate Diaz ranks fourth, his bout versus Ben Askren is 18th, his battle with Tommy Fury lands in 19th place, and his win over Anderson Silva ranks 20th on the list of dollars wagered on boxing matches.“Jake Paul’s emergence into boxing has helped elevate a sport that had been consistently declining in popularity,” Johnny Avello, Director of Sports Operations for DraftKings, tells The Post.
Paul has been a sizable favorite in nearly all of his fights, typically fighting MMA fighters but also battling boxers in some cases.Paul was a -2500 favorite against boxer Ryan Bourland but also closed as an underdog to Fury , a fight he would lose. Despite the heavy favorite status, bettors still come — in droves — to wager on the guy, with ESPN Bet reporting 58 percent of moneyline bets are on him across all fights, and receiving 62 percent of the handle.“He’s driving casual interest in the sport and increased wagering activity amongst fans whether they are for or against him,” Jay said.
