Mike Perry reveals payday boxing match with Jake Paul

Former UFC star Mike Perry has revealed how much he will earn for his upcoming bout with Jake Paul, filling in for legendary fighter Mike Tyson after the latter was forced to withdraw due to a recurrence of an ulcer.

The bout is scheduled for July, with several fighters, including Ryan Garcia and Amir Khan, vying for the chance to take Tyson's place.

Despite a tempting offer from former UFC star Darren Till, Paul ultimately opted to face “Platinum” Mike Perry. Till was originally scheduled to fight Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. on the undercard of the Paul vs. Tyson bout, but Tyson's withdrawal put those plans on the back burner.

Perry is looking to make more money in PPV points.

Perry detailed the payout for the bout in a recent interview with Michael Bisping on his YouTube channel.

“Not bad. What you'd expect from BKFC. Nothing crazy,” Perry said.He stressed the importance of pay-per-view sales, saying:

“I hope that pay-per-view will be a success and that people will buy the shows, because DAZN is a little pricey at times.”

Perry reaffirmed to fans her commitment to delivering an exciting match.

“We are in it for the money, so buy the event and I'll show you the fights you want to see. I'm going to do that anyway. BKFC has the money for me and I've already established myself and my family and I'm ready to go,” he concluded.

Perry revealed last year that he signed a seven-figure contract with BKFC worth $8 million, and also said that he would take a significant pay cut if he returned to UFC.

Perry has an eight-fight contract with BKFC and is expected to earn about $1 million per fight in addition to PPV points if sales exceed a certain number.

Pay-per-view pricing announced for Jake Paul vs. Mike Perry fight

Pricing and undercard details have been announced for the Jake Paul vs. Mike Perry pay-per-view event. The show, which is set to be released on DAZN PPV, will be available to watch for $64.99.

At 32 years old, Mike Perry is a seasoned mixed martial artist who is decades younger than his original opponent, Mike Tyson. A native of Flint, Michigan, Perry embodies the spirit of a true fighter, making this a fascinating matchup.

Over the course of his fighting career, Perry has amassed a 14-8 record in mixed martial arts, with notable wins over Danny Roberts, Paul Felder, Jake Ellenberger and Alex Oliveira.

Moving to the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, Perry has bounced back, boasting a perfect 5-0 record with wins over Michael “Venom” Page, Luke Rockhold, Julian Lane, Eddie Alvarez and Thiago Alves, most of which came by stoppage.

Perry has only one professional boxing bout, a knockout loss to Kenneth McNeil in March 2015, but his fighting skills and charisma are likely to attract attention.
