Drake suffered another high-profile betting loss, this time wagering $355,000 on Mike Tyson to defeat Jake Paul in their much-anticipated boxing match. The fight, streamed live on Netflix, ended in a unanimous decision victory for Paul after eight rounds, leaving Drake out of pocket yet again. Fans on social media were quick to joke about the so-called “Drake Curse,” a phenomenon where the rapper’s bets frequently end in failure.
One user quipped, “It’s always Drake,” while others mocked his streak of bad luck, with one saying, “Dude can’t catch a break this year.” Despite the loss, Drake’s wager added to the spectacle of a fight that saw 65,000 attendees at AT&T Stadium and millions more tuning in online.
Tyson, 58, struggled to keep pace with Paul, 27, landing only 18 punches compared to Paul’s 78. While Paul celebrated his victory, fans couldn’t help but focus on Drake’s ill-fated bet, with some humorously suggesting that his involvement doomed Tyson’s chances before the fight even began.
This isn’t the first time Drake has lost big on sports bets, but it’s safe to say that his $355,000 gamble on Tyson will go down as one of his most memorable losses, further cementing his reputation as an unlucky bettor.
