“No One Cares”: Jake Paul Spending “Record” $64,253 Just to Buy Sneakers Gets an Underwhelming Response From Boxing World

K.Thompson36 min ago
Jake Paul is no stranger to making bold moves and big purchases. Over the years, he's amassed millions through his business ventures and boxing career, constantly making headlines for his extravagant lifestyle. But this time, he's set a new record in a way that might surprise you. So, what exactly did 'El Gallo' Paul do this time?

You see, according to a tweet from Paul's sports betting company, Betr, 'The Problem Child' dropped some serious dough while buying some sneakers. Paul recently went out sneaker shopping with Complex's Joe La Puma at Stadium Goods in New York City, where he bought sneakers worth $64,253, leaving the fan base, well, unimpressed.

Kicks before punches with Mike Tyson Earlier today, Betr shared a clip from Jake Paul's sneaker shopping spree with Complex, which was posted on YouTube. In the video, Paul is seen waiting at the cashier's counter as the total for his purchase is revealed—a whopping $64,253. The cashier, with a polite tone, confirms the staggering amount for the sneakers.

Alongside the video, Betr captioned, "Jake Paul set a new record for Sneaker Shopping He dropped $64,253 ." Interestingly, this lavish spending spree comes as Paul prepares to face off against Mike Tyson on November 14th at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, in a much-talked-about cross-generational bout.

While Paul's decision to fight the 58-year-old Tyson has sparked mixed reactions online, his $64K sneaker splurge was largely met with disappointment from fans, many of whom felt the purchase was excessive and out of touch.

Fan urges Jake Paul to feed some veterans It's no secret that Jake Paul is a polarising personality on the internet, who barely goes without pushback from the public. This case was no different. One user highlighted how people actually feel about his sneaker purchase. "And.... No one cares," the user wrote. Well, the full video from Complex on YouTube has gained over 97K views and 5K likes (at the time of writing), suggesting people do care on a small level.

Another user asked Jake Paul to instead use his money for doing some good. The user commented, "How about JP dropping $64k feeding homeless vets?" In the past, Paul has donated his entire fight purse to Boxing Bullies, a non-profit organization that trains underprivileged kids to prevent bullying.

The next user claimed spending such amounts isn't a big deal for Paul, comparing it with his gambling habits on his own sports betting app. "Thats like betting 1 unit for him," the user wrote. Interestingly, Paul's Betr allows its users to wager on every moment of a game and not just the winning or losing side.

Someone else claimed this record for spending the most amount of money on sneakers while on Complex was previously held by Juice WRLD. The user wrote, "That was Juices Record." Notably, Juice WRLD spent a total of $42,032 on his sneakers shopping spree.

Meanwhile, this user seemed excited about watching the full episode on YouTube. The user wrote, "." The full episode was uploaded to YouTube half a day ago, and is currently available for people to watch.

That being said, Jake Paul went all-out spending over $64K on sneakers, but it appears not everyone is happy about the show of wealth. What did you think about Paul's purchase?
