Tommy Fury received $4,000,000 as his fight purse for his fight against Jake Paul. Fury was supposed to earn an additional $4,000,000 for his win against Paul after both fighters agreed to a double-or-nothing handshake deal.
However, when 'The Problem Child' furnished the contract, 'TNT' appeared hesitant, although a senior member of his family assured him that he would sign the contract. However, Tommy Fury did not end up signing the contract. As a result, he didn't get the additional $4,000,000 for beating Paul.

After the bout, an emotional Fury said the following in his post-fight press conference:
"For the past two-and-a-half years, this is all that's consumed my life. Broke a rib, [got] denied access [to travel], and everybody thought I was running scared. Tonight, I made my own legacy. I am Tommy Fury."

I don't know if I agree with the judges, I got 10-8 rounds twice. So, it is what it is. But this is the boxing [world].
Paul continued saying the following:
"And look, I've already won in life, man, I've already won. I've won in every single way; I have an amazing family, amazing friends, [an] amazing work ethic. I've made it farther than I ever thought that I would, and beyond. So, this is definitely a humbling experience. I'll take it on the chin, [and] get back in the gym. And, we could run it back, because I think we put on an amazing show for the fans tonight."
