During a recent interview with MMA Junkie, the manager for Woodley, Malki Kawa stated that Woodley is making ‘substantial seven figures’. Credit to SportsKeeda for the following.
“I mean, listen, he’s making seven figures and he’s making substantial seven figures. And he’s got a good piece of everything that’s going in the fight. At the same time, here’s what I will tell you, for a pro debut boxer, he’s made the most money ever in the history of the sport. For a pro debut boxer now, he’s made more money, in the history of boxing. Floyd Mayweather didn’t make more money in his first fight, Mike Tyson didn’t make more money in his first fight.”

“Jake has been fighting for five minutes. Why is age a factor?” he told the New York Post of Paul’s taunts. “It’s a factor if someone’s faster, stronger or if they are more skilled — he’s none of the above. He can’t change the fact of my experience level, what I’ve done in the game, my mindset, my mentality and just being in there for the minutes, hours and years. He can’t make that up in any training camp.”
