Forbes estimates that Paul raked in a combined $40 million before taxes from his three boxing victories in 2021, which ran his record to 5-0 overall. With an additional $5 million from his other endeavors, including his videos, Paul comes in at No. 2 on the list of the highest-paid YouTube stars for 2021, returning to the list for the first time since 2018.

That $45 million total would have landed him at No. 20 on last year’s Forbes list of the world’s highest-paid athletes, ahead of the only boxer to crack the top 50 of that ranking, Canelo Alvarez, who tied for 48th with $34 million. It also would have pushed him past established sports stars like Phil Mickelson ($41 million) and Novak Djokovic ($34.5 million).

It’s quite the turnaround for Paul, who turns 25 next week. Early in 2018, YouTube demonetized his channel amid the backlash to a video his older brother Logan had filmed in a “suicide forest” in Japan. No longer earning income from the ads playing on his videos, and with brands forsaking him, Paul was devastated.

The channel is again generating ad revenue, and is up to 20.4 million subscribers, but he has continued to court controversy. The FBI raided his home in August 2020 after video showed him at a mall as it was being looted (he did not face charges), and among many inflammatory comments over the years, he called Covid-19 a “hoax” in a November 2020 interview with the Daily Beast. Most seriously, he was accused of sexual assault by TikTok personality Justine Paradise in April; Paul has vehemently denied the accusation.

Are both the Paul brothers a good thing for the sport of boxing or not? Did they use steroids? What do other boxing professionals think of the young brothers? All of those topics and more we touch on in this episode of the Galga TV Podcast.
