Honestly? I get it. You know why? Not because it is a great bet or anything, sure it is a 1.59 odd bet, so you can see why someone would bet that much because that is an odd you can trust and I understand that part as well. But the reality is that, these people get famous off others money, most celebs do, and Jake Paul has some serious fans, even though he screwed up many times, dude is still relevant today and that is why I do not think that it changed anything in his fan base, maybe some left but there are still some that like him.

So, if you put a 1.59 odd for someone who has super big fan base, you get huge bets. I would guess if you put any Hollywood actor for example in the ring, that will get a huge bet as well, much bigger than this, there were people betting over a million dollars for any given Mayweather serious (not friendly) boxing match as well. So, it kind of makes sense, at least it is consistent.
