Jake Paul has earned monstrous £20MILLION from boxing alone as explosive five-fight career is broken down

JAKE PAUL is one of the highest paid boxers on the planet after racking up eye-watering sums of money in his short career.

The Youtuber, 24, has only had five fights, four of which were professional, but he certainly knows how to attract an audience.

In fact, his fight against Ben Askren in April drew in 1.5million PPV buys - which entered the top ten for most ever PPVs sold at the time.

His next bout with Tyron Woodley likely drew in an even bigger crowd with the event also selling out the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, Ohio.

Paul makes tens of millions each year from his Youtube videos but is proving he can translate his popularity into real-world events.

His scheduled fight with Tommy Fury was set to be his biggest purse to date but he will instead fight former UFC star Woodley in a rematch on Saturday.

Fury had to withdraw after suffering a broken rib and a bacterial infection in training camp.
