So Anthony Joshua just flatlined Jake Paul. It wasn't even a contest. The former heavyweight champ used every bit of his size and skill to wreck Paul inside six rounds in Miami.

But here's the part that really stings for him. That reported ninety-three million dollar purse is getting absolutely shredded by taxes. Since he lives in London, he gets hit twice. The U.S. feds will take about thirty-seven percent right off the top. Then the U.K. tax authorities come for their cut, plus National Insurance. All together, it's nearly forty-five million gone, leaving him with maybe fifty mil to actually take home.

Meanwhile, Jake Paul, as an American resident, gets to skip the whole U.K. tax nightmare entirely. Joshua's massive tax bill shows the brutal downside of being a global star. Still, even after the government gets its share, it's a monstrous payday. And the knockout itself definitely reminded everyone who the real fighter is.
