BREAKING: Jake Paul reveals massive PPV numbers after Tommy Fury fight
It appears as though Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury was successful on pay-per-view, which shows that they did a great job in selling the fight.
Paul uploaded a video to his YouTube channel, during which he and his brother Logan recapped the bout and addressed what could be next for him. The YouTuber-turned-boxer mentioned that there was a positive that came from his defeat to Fury, referencing the success of the pay-per-view.
He said:
"I guess the silver-lining is that the pay-per-views are off the fu***ng chart. Like, probably gonna be the biggest fight of the year. It's gonna be hard to contend with. Maybe [Ryan] Garcia and [Gervonta] Davis."
Although it might be a while longer before the official PPV buyrate numbers are released, 'The Problem Child' revealed an estimate of how well the fight did. He also mentioned that there are still lucrative fights for him even though he was handed his first career loss, saying:
"It's probably coming in like over half-a-million buys...So, the business is great. Obviously, there's still so many names out there for me to fight. I want to do the rematch with Tommy, but I think all of those fights are still there and still massive."
It will be interesting to see who Paul fights next as he has a rematch clause in his contract and could pursue a second fight with 'TNT' to avenge his loss.
