Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury PPV price set at $49.99 in the States as US fans fume on social media
>
US boxing fans SMOKE as their pay-per-view price for Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury is set to FIFTY DOLLARS, despite the pair having just 14 professional fights between them, after they reached a third deal to finally settle their rivalry in Saudi Arabia next month.
Jake Paul and Tommy Fury are finally ready to settle their rivalry at the third time you ask, but fans in the US will have to shell out $49.99 to see how their grudge match plays out.
Paul, the YouTuber-turned-boxer who has racked up six straight wins as a pro, was scheduled to fight Tyson Fury’s younger brother on two separate occasions in the past.
Health issues forced Tommy to pull out of the original December 2021 date, before his reorganized pageant eight months later fell by the wayside when he was unable to enter the United States.
Despite initially refusing to do business with Fury and his team again, Paul confirmed Friday that the two sides have now reached a third deal to fight in Saudi Arabia on February 26, with the PPV price set at $ 49.99 on ESPN+.

Paul confirmed on Friday that he has reached another deal to face Fury.
That figure has caused a stir among boxing fans in the US, who are adamant that they are not going to cough up two professional rookies with just 14 fights between them.
One wrote on Twitter: ‘No one is paying $50.’
Another commented: “Hahaha to anyone paying for this.”
A third quipped, “That’s $49.99 that’s going to stay in my bank account.”
‘Craziness [you can] pay less for a world title fight,’ noted another.
US fans aren’t too happy with the $49.99 PPV price to watch Paul vs Fury in the United States.
Several of them took to Twitter in droves on Friday to insist they won’t release the figure.
“You’re laughing at that price,” said one user.
Another joked: “I wasn’t going to watch it and now that I’ve seen it, I’m not going to watch it.”
While one wary fan noted, “That’s if the fight happens.”
Paul has confirmed he will travel to London this weekend to meet Fury in the ring, and the bitter foes plan to meet at Wembley Arena ahead of British light heavyweight world title shot Anthony Yarde against Russian Artur Beterbiev.
The initial date of February 25 was reportedly moved to February 26 to avoid a clash with the Floyd Mayweather exhibition against reality TV star Aaron Chalmers.
Paul says he will travel to London on Saturday to face Fury at Wembley Arena.
Paul will be looking to maintain his unbeaten record against a professional boxer for the first time, having previously faced former UFC fighters, a former NBA player and one of his fellow YouTubers.
His most recent win came against Anderson Silva in October of last year, when he ousted the MMA legend via unanimous decision.
Meanwhile, Fury outpointed Daniel Bocianski when he last laced up his gloves in April of last year.
