Jake Paul says it\u2019s \u201csmart\u201d he hasn\u2019t sold out fight tickets yet YouTube: BS w\/ Jake PaulJake Paul has responded to criticism that his match against Andre August hasn\u2019t sold out mere days before fight night, saying it\u2019s a \u201csmart\u201d business move. Jake Paul is facing off against pro boxer Andre August on Friday, December 15 \u2014 but their bout still hasn\u2019t sold out yet. This marks one of Jake\u2019s most underwhelming fights in his career, as the YouTuber has even admitted that he \u201cprobably won\u2019t even make money\u201d on the event as ticket sales have struggled over the past few weeks. The ordeal has sparked quite a bit of mockery from Jake\u2019s critics, with the likes of KSI saying his American rival \u201cain\u2019t got any hype anymore.\u201d KSI himself is set to face off against fellow influencer IShowSpeed on the same day in a charity sparring match \u2014 an even that has garnered quite a bit of excitement thus far. However, Jake is now saying that it\u2019s a \u201csmart\u201d thing that his tickets haven\u2019t sold out, as told in a recent statement on Twitter\/X. Jake Paul slams \u201cbird brain\u201d KSI over ticket sales drama On December 14, Jake shared a report from Boxing Scene stating that his fight with August has set the record for the \u2018highest boxing live gate ever in Orlando\u2026\u2019 alongside a comparison of ticket prices for his vs KSI\u2019s bout. \u201cAnother record broken,\u201d he wrote. \u201cHighest grossing ticket sales in Orlando boxing history. Average ticket price: $150+ (against [a] no name opponent). KSI Vs Fury average ticket price: $62.50.\u201d \u201cAnd yes, we won\u2019t sell out until fight day,\u201d he continued. \u201cSmart promotions and business men set the pricing just right, knowing the selling data and audience. It\u2019s called dynamic pricing.\u201d \u201cIf you sell tickets and they sell out right away, then shouldn\u2019t you have priced them higher? Simple supply\/demand\/and pricing economics. No wonder KSI was gonna pull out of the Prime deal days before launch\u2026 because he\u2019s a bird brain.\u201d And yes we won\u2019t sell out until fight day\u2026 smart promotions and business men set the pricing just right knowing the selling data and audience. It\u2019s called dynamic pricing\u2026 \u2014 Jake Paul (@jakepaul) December 14, 2023 If you sell tickets and they sell out right away then shouldn\u2019t you have priced them higher? Simple\u2026 Paul referenced the fact that KSI nearly bowed out of his agreement to run Prime Hydration alongside Logan Paul just before the brand launched back in 2022 \u2014 something that sent Logan into a tizzy at the time.
