Logan Paul didn't hold back his frustration after learning that Drake placed a $355,000 bet on Mike Tyson to win against his brother Jake Paul in their much-hyped fight at AT&T Stadium.

The WWE superstar expressed his displeasure, calling it "extremely" disappointing during a candid moment captured on camera. 

"This mother**ker Drake bet $355,000 on Mike Tyson," Logan said while scrolling through his phone, adding that it was “kind of f**ked up.”

The fight, which culminated in Jake Paul securing a unanimous decision victory over the 58-year-old former heavyweight champion, drew mixed reactions from fans and celebrities alike.

Known for his frequent high-stakes bets on combat sports, Drake had a chance to win nearly $1 million if Tyson had emerged victorious. 

However, his gamble once again fueled discussions about the so-called "Drake Curse," a superstition tied to his history of backing losing contenders.  

Jake Paul, now 11-1 in his professional boxing career, humorously referenced the curse in the past, saying, "When Drake finally bet on me against Tommy Fury, I lost as well. I feel like it’s actually real." 

Despite the rapper's wager, Jake’s win over Tyson reaffirmed his dominance in crossover boxing and left fans speculating about his next potential opponent, with Jake teasing a future bout against Canelo Alvarez.  

Drake's combat sports betting history includes several headline-grabbing wagers, such as the $600,000 he lost betting on Francis Ngannou earlier this year. 

While his Tyson bet didn’t pay off, the drama surrounding his involvement added another layer of intrigue to a fight already packed with tension and theatrics.
