Drake loses $355000, a mouth-watering sum, after the his bet on Mike Tyson failed. Tyson lost the much publicised match and the “Drake Curse” continues leaves many in heated debate.
Drake has lost a huge $355000 after Jake Paul defeated boxing legend Mike Tyson in a high-stakes match. The fight took place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and ended with Paul winning by unanimous decision, despite Tyson’s legendary status.
The rapper, known for his love of sports betting, had placed a large bet on Tyson to win. Unfortunately for Drake, the outcome continued the pattern of what fans call the “Drake Curse.” This curse refers to Drake’s history of placing bets on athletes who then go on to lose.
In this case, Tyson’s defeat means Drake loses $355000 bet. His betting habit, especially on big sporting events, has earned him a reputation for backing the wrong winners. From UFC to basketball, many of Drake’s chosen favourites have ended up on the losing side. Fans have even joked that his support often leads to misfortune for the athletes he backs, making the “Drake Curse” a popular talking point in sports circles.
The Tyson vs. Paul fight was one of the year’s biggest spectacles, drawing 65000 spectators and attracting millions in pay-per-view sales. Jake Paul, who now has a boxing career, had aimed for a $40 million payout and a knockout over a “legend,” which he achieved. Tyson earned $20 million for the bout, despite his status, according to rumors.
This event once again highlights Drake’s risky gambling style. Over the years, he has placed large bets on high-profile matches, often publicly sharing his wagers on social media. While he has won big before, he has a history filled with a string of high-profile losses. This adds fuel to the myth of the “Drake Curse.” With his latest loss, it seems that curse is still very much alive.
