Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. has made headlines just hours before stepping into the ring with Jake Paul, revealing how he plans to celebrate should he defeat the social media star-turned-boxer – and it could cost him millions.
The former WBC middleweight champion disclosed that he may spend as much as half of his fight purse, estimated at $1.5 million, on partying after the bout if he manages to stop the controversial 28-year-old.
Chavez Jr trains oddly; fans favor Jake Paul
The 10-round cruiserweight contest, which is set to take place at the Honda Center in Anaheim, could be one of the most talked-about matchups of the year and serves as the co-main event to the Gilberto Ramirez vs. Yuniel Dorticos card.
But all eyes are on the generational clash featuring Paul as he aims to develop his boxing legitimacy beyond ex-pros and fighters who never particularly trained for boxing.
A golden opportunity
For Chavez Jr., it’s an opportunity to reaffirm his legitimacy in the ring and silence critics who say his best days are behind him as he plans to celebrate a potentially victorious night in memorable fashion.
“Celebrate? Night club, girls,” Chavez Jr. joked on Piers Morgan Uncensored. “The half of my purse.”
Meanwhile Paul has remained characteristically confident in the lead-up to the fight, proclaiming himself a “great boxer” and vowing to “embarrass” his veteran opponent. His rival, however, has not been swayed by the bravado.
Chavez Jr. has faced criticism in recent years for inconsistency, training discipline, and controversial performances. Yet he remains one of the most experienced fighters Jake has ever faced, and his motivation to win appears as much personal as professional.
Beyond the millions on the line, this bout is also about pride – for himself and for his legendary father, Julio Cesar Chavez Sr., who believes his son will dismantle Paul in the ring.
How much money will Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. make from fighting Jake Paul?
The matchup carries broader significance beyond cash too as Paul has declared this fight the official beginning of his “title run” after years of defeating former MMA fighters and boxing journeymen.
Paul now sees Chavez Jr., a former world champion with a 54-6 record, as a gateway to true boxing legitimacy and a potential shot at one of the belts in the future years as The Problem Child targets history.
For his troubles, sources tell MARCA that Chavez Jr. is guaranteed a base purse of $1.5 million for the fight, with the potential to earn up to $2.5 million once pay-per-view sales and sponsorship bonuses are factored in.
Though a substantial payday and more than enough of an incentive to step into the ring, it does not surpass his previous career-high earnings, notably the six million he made in 2017 for his bout against his fellow Mexican fighter, Canelo Alvarez.

Twins could mull options after Bailey Ober ties team record with 14 homers allowed in June
DETROIT — The hard hits keep coming for Bailey Ober, who surrendered a team-record 14 home runs in June, including four more on Saturday afternoon.The Detroit Tigers shredded a pitcher who’s earned a reputation as one of the Twins’ steadiest in a 10-5 contest in front of 33,780 at Comerica Park. Not only does the 14 homers allowed match Hall of Famer Bert Blyleven’s Twins club mark set in May 1986, Ober is tied with five other pitchers for the second-most homers yielded in a calendar month in the history of Major League Baseball.AdvertisementThe latest poor outing sent the Twins to their seventh straight loss with Ober on the mound and made homers from Byron Buxton and Carlos Correa moot. It’s also likely to keep Twins decision-makers busy the next few days mulling how long they can keep starting Ober, […]
