Jake Paul slams \u201cBS\u201d pay-per-view numbers for rematch with Tyron Woodley Amanda Westcott, SHOWTIMEThe Jake Paul vs Tyron Woodley rematch was reportedly a commercial failure as new PPV sales figures have revealed the second fight drew considerably less than their first meeting\u2026 but Jake Paul doesn\u2019t buy the reports. Although Paul walked away with arguably his most viral knockout yet, his latest boxing event is reportedly his worst-selling to date. After a last-minute opponent swap, as Tommy Fury backed out and Woodley stepped in, the PPV appears to have \u201cbombed,\u201d according to reports from DAZN Boxing. While official numbers haven\u2019t been revealed, initial reports claim the rematch \u201cdid under 65,000 buys.\u201d This puts Paul vs. Woodley 2 as the social media celeb\u2019s weakest outing to date. In fact, it appears to be his first boxing event not to crack the six-figure sales mark. Sources: Have learned that Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley 2 \u201cbombed\u201d on cable\/satelitte PPV. Numbers are below November\u2019s #AEW Full Gear which did under 65,000 buys on terrestrial TV. Streaming numbers are unknown. #boxing \u2014 Steven Muehlhausen (@SMuehlhausenJr) December 23, 2021 Jake Paul slams \u201cBS\u201d pay-per-view reports On December 29, The Problem Child dismissed the pay-per-view sales, calling them \u201cbullsh*t.\u201d \u201cThe PPV number rumors are bullshit. 1st fight w Woodley we sold 500k+ Numbers for this one are still rolling in but still looking positive,\u201d he explained, but did admit sales could have been better. \u201cNot my best business night.\u201d The YouTuber further added that fans wanted to see him take on Tommy Fury, and in the end, that fight didn\u2019t go on as planned. The PPV number rumors are bullshit 1st fight w Woodley we sold 500k+ Numbers for this one are still rolling in but still looking positive Not my best business night But remember.. Everyone wanted to see me Vs. Fury and that\u2019s what we sold.. \u2014 Jake Paul (@jakepaul) December 29, 2021 Their first fight back in August, a contest that ended in a split-decision, sold roughly 500,000 PPVs, according to a report from The Wrestling Observer Newsletter. If these early figures for the rematch hold true, the initial bout sold more than 7x better in the United States. It is worth noting, however, that these figures don\u2019t take into account digital streaming sales just yet. Rather, these PPV buys come directly from cable and satellite providers. The event sold at $59.99 in the US, meaning early figures translate to under $4 million in total PPV revenue. It didn\u2019t take long before social media ran wild with these reports. Even Paul\u2019s targeted opponent Jorge Masvidal of UFC fame was quick to mock the low figures. \u201cB**ch boy can\u2019t afford the big boys,\u201d he joked on Twitter. \u201cNever again do I want to hear my name associated with the fake.\u201d Bitch boy can\u2019t afford the big boys Never again do I want to hear my name associated with the fake. 3 0 5 day is coming #supernecessary pic.twitter.com\/XloN8Kex88 \u2014 Jorge Masvidal UFC (@GamebredFighter) December 29, 2021 We\u2019ll have to see what the total numbers end up adding up to, and if Paul can return to his former pay-per-view selling himself the next time he steps foot into the ring with a new opponent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
