Tyron Woodley demands $1m bonus from Jake Paul: \u201cI saved the f**king card\u201d Amanda Wescott\/SHOWTIMEFormer UFC champion Tyron Woodley is finally getting his rematch against Jake Paul, but believes he deserves more than a $500k knockout bonus for agreeing to take the fight on short notice. Jake Paul\u2019s fight against Tommy Fury was canceled on December 6, with the British boxer pulling out due to an injury. In his place, and in order to keep the pay-per-view card alive, Paul\u2019s previous opponent Tyron Woodley stepped in. However, there has been a lot of controversy prior to Woodley getting his second shot at Paul following his split-decision loss earlier in 2021, especially as the former UFC star agreed to get an \u201cI love Jake Paul\u201d tattoo on the condition that he\u2019d fight again. Now, with the rematch finally booked and all eyes on the upcoming December 18 bout, The Chosen One believes he deserves a big bonus for swooping in at the last moment. Tyron Woodley wants additional $500k from Jake Paul In an interview with ESPN\u2019s Marc Raimondi, Woodley stated that he deserves a lot more of a reward, considering the pay-per-view wouldn\u2019t have gone ahead if Paul couldn\u2019t find another foe. \u201cWe need a new bonus. A \u2018keeping the hope alive and the card alive\u2019 bonus,\u201d Woodley joked when discussing the $500k knockout bonus. \u201cWe need to add that, too.\u201d When pressed on how much he\u2019d like for that, Woodley said he\u2019d like \u201chalf a bag\u201d for it, since that\u2019s what Paul was offering if he gets KO\u2019d \u2013 meaning he would be getting $1m total combined. He then referenced how in the UFC, Dana White has Fight of the Night, Knockout of the Night, and Performance of the Night bonuses saying that if it weren\u2019t for him, there wouldn\u2019t be a pay-per-view to begin with. \u201cI think we should throw another $500k in there just because all these people would have wasted their time, their training camp, their coaches\u2026 Tommy Fury would have caused all of them not to fight,\u201d he added. \u201cThe venue, the ticket sales, the refunds, the sponsors, yeah, let\u2019s get another $500k. I saved the f**king card.\u201d It will be very interesting to see what happens when The Problem Child steps back into the ring with The Chosen One and if Tyron can not only avenge his loss, but secure that extra half-a-million by knocking out the undefeated Paul\u2026 Especially considering a win would guarantee a third match between the two with an even bigger payday at stake.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
