Jake Paul joked that he was cursed by Drake after his loss to Tommy Fury. Drake placed a $400,000 bet on Jake Paul knocking Fury out.
The American youtuber-turned-boxer, who happens to be friends with the Canadian rapper, was asked during the post-fight press conference about the huge bet Drake had placed on him. “F***! This is Drake’s fault!’ Paul joked. “Drake, bro, why did you do this to me?”
“No, it’s my fault. 400,000 is nothing to him – he has won a lot more money betting on me before. He’s probably about even now. Sorry Drake, I’ll get that W in the rematch.”
Champagne Papi is a notorious gambler and the “Drake Curse” is a bit of an inside joke in the basketball, UFC and fight-game circles. Of the seven big bets he has placed on Super Bowl, he has won only one.
Drake had revealed his bet on social before hours before the match in Saudi Arabia.
23-year-old Tommy Fury who beat the hitherto undefeated Jake Paul in a split decision is younger brother to the legendary heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury. Jake Paul’s professional record now stands at 6-1 after the Sunday’s loss.
