Film Producer Jon Peters
I Hope Jake Gets Hollywood Ending
… $5 Mil. Bet On Paul To Beat Joshua!!!
Published
There’s a LOT on the line when Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua enter the boxing ring in 17 days — not only is El Gallo hoping to pull off the unthinkable and beat a former heavyweight champion … but one very famous bettor is looking to cash in BIG on an upset.
TMZ Sports is told … former Sony Pictures head Jon Peters is all-in on the YouTuber-turned-fighter’s chances against A.J. on Dec. 19 — to the tune of a whopping $5 MILLION wager.
So … why all the confidence in the Disney kid?? We’re told Peters and Paul recently had a lengthy chat about the bout … and the film producer (with flicks like “Flashdance,” “A Star Is Born,” and “Batman” to his name) was fully convinced.
We’re told Paul assured Peters he’s “gonna kick the s*** outta [Joshua]” at the Kaseya Center in Miami … and that was music to his ears.
The insane amount of dough could really pay off if Paul is victorious — depending on the odds Peters placed it at, that five milli could turn into a profit between $30-45 MILLION.
Paul’s currently a +650 underdog against Joshua … meaning a $100 bet would get ya $650 if he’s victorious.
We’re told Peters has plenty of people telling him he’s crazy for the bet … but he’s heard that plenty of times — including when he decided to make ASIB with Barbra Streisand.
So … will the rich get richer in a few weeks?? It’s all hanging on Paul’s fists … and who knows, he could have a movie in the works if he pulls it off, too!!
