Jake Paul apparently lost a ton of money in his fight vs Anderson Silva.
During an appearance on the Impaulsive podcast, Paul says he lost millions of dollars promoting the event that only garnered 200-300k PPV buys.
“Halloween, World Series, Sunday football, this is the worst time of the year to fight, but guess what? I had to fight, all my fights from now on will be in the Summer when there are no sports, all my other fights were during COVID when no had anything to do or anything to watch. I had to fight this year…Not only did I make zero, I lost millions of dollars running an organization with 15 employees.”
“I think it did 200-300k which is kind of upsetting ”

Jake believes that Anderson Silva’s admission that he get knocked out twice in practice tanked sales.

“The prebuys were going crazy and on Wednesday when the news came about Anderson saying that he got knocked out and the fight was in jeopardy, and all the press came out, the prebuys tanked, all the way down. The general public sees that…it killed ticket sales, everything went to zero.”
Fans mocked Jake for his latest PPV failure.
Definitely didn’t do over 200k and complaining about other sports being on is ridiculous lmao I just don’t think people cared enough! https://t.co/thk9yj66uH

200-300k buys is respectable for a PPV event but doesn't scream transcendent mega draw. Since his 1st two solo PPVs were his biggest events can't help but think the appeal of the gimmick has wained. https://t.co/Sn03Cc4cJn

If he’s saying 200k – 300k that means it really did 100k – 200k lol
Either way it’s a flop #JakePaul https://t.co/0J5H1X3Whj— Austin Arnett (@AustinArnettMMA) November 2, 2022
