Sunday’s fight between social media Jake Paul and former UFC champion Tyron Woodley attracted a lot of attention. Big battles tend to make lots of money for the warriors involved, and Paul vs. Woodley was no different.

That Ohio State Athletic Commission released the official match for the event, where Woodley and Paul both earn $ 2 million for the match, which was won by Paul via split decision. Paul improved his career record to 4-0 with the win, while Woodley made his professional boxing debut.

This was an increase for Paul, who earned a reported $ 690,000 for his third match against Ben Askren, which he won by devastating knockout in the first round.

Amanda Serrano defended her WBC, WBO and IBO female featherweight titles in tonight’s featured undercard fight and made a decision on Yamileth Mercado. Serrano earned $ 75,000 for his title defense, while Mercado earned $ 45,000 in his losing effort.

Here are the fully reported payouts from the event, which do not include money given to the Warriors by Paul, who had promised to distribute a portion of his earnings to secure career-best salaries for those on the card. The figures also do not reflect any earnings through financial cuts in pay-per-view sales.
