Jake Paul, Gervonta Davis Seal $2 Million Bet for Nov. 14 Miami Bout

A $2 million side bet with unusual 195‑pound terms has intensified scrutiny over the exhibition‑style matchup.

Overview

  • The event is set for Nov. 14 at Miami’s Kaseya Center with a contracted weight of 195 pounds, 10 three‑minute rounds and 12‑ounce gloves.
  • It is being promoted as an exhibition that does not count toward professional records, according to reporting on the bout’s classification.
  • The fighters escalated a press‑conference wager to $2 million after an exchange that involved streamer Adin Ross, then sealed it with a handshake.
  • A large weight gap remains central to the controversy, with Paul recently competing near cruiserweight and Davis typically at lightweight, which earlier complicated a plan to stage the fight in Atlanta.
  • The New York face‑off featured heated taunts, Paul invoking a past domestic‑violence allegation against Davis, and Paul’s public promise of a knockout.
