Even the world’s largest prediction market Polymarket was shocked to see a user place a hefty bet on the Netflix live fight ‘Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua.’

Given the unlikely standards of the clash between the two, the match-up shouldn’t make any sense. With Paul being a YouTube influencer-turned-professional boxer and Joshua a former two-time heavyweight champion, the two are poised to give Netflix audiences a run for their money. Possibly, the person on top of the said arrangement is the very user who placed a $1.3 million wager on the Polymarket Sports platform.

Polymarket Sports shocked to see millions-worth bet on Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua

“Imagine being this user who just put generational wealth on a trade against JAKE PAUL,” Polymarket Sports flagged the mind-numbing wager on its official X account ahead of the Netflix fight. The prediction market mulled over, “Should he cash out before walk outs or is AJ winning this with his eyes closed?”

Polymarket plugged a screenshot of a social media user highlighting how a person “literally put $1.3M on the line to fade Jake Paul.” While social media scoffed at the individual being “more confident” than everyone else, reactions ahead of the boxing match generally rooted for Joshua to take Paul down.

Noting that Polymarket Sport operated more like a stock predictor than a bookie, SBS Nation highlighted that the gambler could end up winning or losing out on their money even before the walkouts.
