Drake Loses $200K Betting On Jake Paul To Defeat Anthony Joshua

If you’ve got been round hip-hop and sports activities tradition over the previous 15 years, you’ll have heard about “the Drake curse.” It’s the presumption that his constant betting, specifically in sports, would not end up effectively for no matter he is betting in favor of. Sadly for Jake Paul, this turned true when Anthony Joshua knocked him out within the sixth spherical of their Netflix-streamed boxing match final evening (Friday, December 19).

As caught by AllHipHop, the Toronto celebrity had wager $200K on him to defeat Joshua, which might’ve netted Drizzy a whopping $1.64 million if Paul had received. Of course, not many within the boxing world anticipated him to take action. As such, for a high-stakes participant just like the 6ix God, his danger should not come as a lot shock. Also, it is not like he would not have hundreds of thousands of different {dollars} at his disposal to wipe his gambling-afflicted tears away.

Still, we doubt Drake will change his betting methods anytime quickly, as a result of he prioritizes the love of the sport over any potential rewards. Jokes about his “curse” proceed to ring off, but he by no means selected to decelerate. At the top of the day, The Boy’s high quality with dropping more cash than most individuals make in a 12 months.

However, Jake Paul is not breaking a lot of a sweat over this. He revealed he received surgical procedure for the damaged jaw he left the Anthony Joshua combat with, and he challenged Canelo Alvarez to combat in just a bit over every week.

As for the Stake associate who unsuccessfully wager on Paul to win, Drake’s taking a risk with his ICEMAN album. His livestreams for its rollout may’ve been technically disastrous, but it surely appears to have paid off for his very excited fanbase. We’re nonetheless ready on the ultimate one earlier than the LP comes out, and it looks as if 2026 would be the 12 months.

Elsewhere, Drake’s also dealing with legal updates in his dismissed UMG defamation lawsuit’s attraction. Well, truly, he will not be having to cope with them as a lot today. The Court of Appeals delayed each events’ mediation to early subsequent 12 months, giving everybody a considerable vacation break.

Ironically sufficient, although, this is not these two’s solely betting crossover. Jake Paul lost after Drake bet on him to beat Tommy Fury, Drizzy misplaced his wager on Mike Tyson beating Jake, and he misplaced his wager on Nate Diaz to beat Paul.
