Jake Paul lied about PPV sales! His fight with Woodley didn’t pull that much
Jake Paul also defeated his third opponent and after the fight he bragged about his PPV sales, which he said were up to 1,500,000. Such a number would rival even the UFC’s best tournaments, but the reality is different and the fight didn’t pull much on PPV sales.

Jake Paul also won against Tyron Woodley, a former champion of the UFC organization. Paul bragged about his PPV sales after the event, which he announced were up to 1,500,000.
Most people didn’t believe the numbers were true, and they weren’t. According to outside sources, PPV sales were around half a million.
That is indeed a huge difference. A large number of people were interested in the fight, but most refused to pay for the overpriced stream, so they watched the fight for free via streams that were on the internet.
So this match didn’t do as well on sales as expected, but it still made a large amount of money, which is why it was held.
Both fighters were supposed to get around 2 million dollars with them having a percentage of the PPV sales. And what about the much talked about rematch?
Paul would agree to it, but his opponent would have to fulfill the bet they made before the fight, which is to tattoo the winner’s name on their body. And that’s what Woodley is trying to wriggle out of.
