Jake Paul blames Anderson Silva for \u201cupsetting\u201d PPV sales projections YouTube: IMPAULSIVEUndefeated YouTube-boxer Jake Paul has laid the blame on MMA GOAT Anderson Silva for the potentially \u201cupsetting\u201d sales from their October 29 PPV bout. On October 29, internet superstar Jake Paul touched gloves with combat sports legend Anderson Silva in the boxing ring \u2014 and the results of their fight left jaws dropped all over the arena. In a shocking turn of events, Paul won their bout by unanimous decision, even knocking down his famed opponent in the eighth and final round. Their fight marked the fourth time a major influencer faced off against a huge combat sports figure, following Logan Paul\u2019s match against Floyd Mayweather in 2021 and Jake\u2019s two bouts against Tyron Woodley, but \u2018The Problem Child\u2019 says the sales from the Silva match likely won\u2019t be as big as his previous fights. The Problem Child spoke out on the projected sales from his PPV during an episode of the IMPAULSIVE podcast, calling them \u201cupsetting.\u201d That\u2019s not all; he also blamed the low numbers on his opponent reportedly getting knocked out twice during a sparring session just ahead of their match on Saturday. He says this sparked fears from fans that their bout would be just another canceled event for the youngest Paul brother, who\u2019d had a disappointing year for boxing until now. \u201cDo you know how many pay-per-view buys it got yet?\u201d Logan asked. \u201cI think it\u2019ll probably go around 2-300,000,\u201d Jake answered. \u201cWhich is kind of upsetting. \u2026the pre-buys were going crazy. Up, up, up. And on Wednesday, when the news came out about Anderson saying he got knocked out or whatever, and the fight was in jeopardy and all this press came out, the pre-buys tanked.\u201d \u201cThe general public sees that, and it\u2019s like, oh, it\u2019s not happening,\u201d he continued. \u201cTommy pulled out. Hasim pulled out. \u2018Oh, Jake f*cking Paul can\u2019t get an event together. It\u2019s done.\u2019 It killed it.\u201d (Topic begins at 40:19) While Paul made sure to reference the other failed fights he\u2019s had in 2022 as probable reasons for low PPV sales, it seems like he just couldn\u2019t escape a fumble for his biggest test yet \u2014 although fans are already on the lookout for his possible fight with KSI next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
