Boxing newcomer Jake Paul has over treble MMA legend Anderson Silva’s net worth

Jake Paul’s net worth mammoths that of UFC legend Anderson Silva.

The YouTube star is set to face off against the Spider on Saturday night at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona.

But despite Silva being considered one of the best-ever MMA stars to ever fight, his reported net worth of £6million is significantly less than Paul’s £25million, according to CelebrityNetWorth.

Indeed, Paul returns to the squared circle looking for the sixth win of his career out of the same number of bouts.

The Problem Child last won with a knockout defeat over Tyron Woodley in 2021, following the initial opponent Tommy Fury’s decision to withdraw from the contest owing to injury.

But after a year out, the American is preparing for the ring once more – though it will undoubtedly be the hardest test he’s ever encountered.

Silva, a UFC Hall of Famer, to this day holds the record for the longest win streak in the sport's history. But the Brazilian used to box professionally too – competing in three fights and winning four of them. Though the veteran might be considered a bit past it, being 47 years old and losing six of his final seven UFC bouts.

Meanwhile, Paul and Anderson Silva will pocket multi-millions for their bout. Some reports have suggested that the internet sensation he could earn a career-high payday reaching over £2million.

"I hope it does well," Paul said of tonight's fight. "I think it will, the numbers are all showing that. So yeah, this could definitely be my highest payday. I haven’t really focused on that, even saying that is one of the first times I've even thought about it.

"Just because of how much the fight means and how focused I am and how big the challenge is at hand. The payday is just the cherry on top for the opportunity at hand.”
