Jake Paul and Gervonta Davis have a big side bet for their upcoming fight. On November 14th, Paul and Davis will face off in an exhibition fight that will take place in Miami and air live on Netflix.
This week, the Florida Athletic Commission agreed to sanction the fight at 195 pounds, despite the fact that Davis fights at 135 pounds and Paul competes in the 200-pound cruiserweight division.

The rules for the Nov. 14 showdown between Jake Paul and Gervonta Davis were revealed by Most Valuable Promotions co-founder Nakisa Bidarian at a Monday news conference in New York.
The fight will be a 10-round exhibition, with three-minute rounds contested at a maximum weight of 195 pounds. The fighters will wear 12-ounce gloves on the night of the fight.
By comparison, boxers who fight at welterweight (147 pounds) and lower wear 8-ounce gloves, which is what Davis is accustomed to.
Paul has fought all his bouts with 10-ounce gloves — normal for fights above welterweight — outside of the Mike Tyson exhibition last November, when both fighters wore 14-ounce gloves.
On Tuesday, Paul and Davis held a press conference in Miami and agreed to a $2 million side bet for the fight.
“Two mill? Let’s do it,” Paul told Davis immediately, with the pair shaking hands on stage. “Easy work, bro.”

During a media scrum, Paul stated that he would be drafting a contract for Davis to make the bet official.
“A lot of these bets don’t become materialized with these boxers but we’re going to get a contract drawn up right now”
After their bet, Paul and Davis faced off for the last time in a few months, and things got heated between the two.
