God’s plan — or Drake’s curse?
The story goes that, prior to the high-profile match, Drake opted to get in on the action by betting a staggering $400,000 big ones that boxer Jake Paul would be victorious by knockout in his fight against Tommy Fury — a move Paul later took issue with during the post-fight press conference, according to Fox Sports. “F**k. This is Drake’s fault. Drake, bro, why did you do this to me?” Paul seemingly joked before taking on a more serious tone. “It’s my fault. $400,000 is nothing to him. He has won a lot more money betting on me before. He’s probably about even now,” he boasted. “Sorry, Drake. I’ll get that W in the rematch,” he vowed.

And, while Paul was adamant that he wasn’t making excuses for the loss, he also rattled off even more reasons for his poor performance, citing both illness and injury. “Honestly, I felt flat,” he confessed. “I got sick really bad twice in camp, injured my arm,” Paul added. “It wasn’t my best performance. But I lost. I’m not making excuses.”
