JAKE PAUL has appeared to debunk the pay-per-view sales of KSI’s fight with Tommy Fury.
Fury controversially beat KSI on points in a huge influencer boxing card which also held Logan Paul’s win over Dillon Danis.
According to Happy Punch promotions, who had several of their fighters on the card, the event sold 1.3million PPVs.
But Paul has spoke out to refute this and claimed it did 100,000 LESS than the 800,000-plus his loss to Fury in February brought in.
Responding to a clip of Fury predicting Paul to beat KSI, the American responded: “Hahahaha. KSI is going to appeal this interview.
“700K buys globally they did. Great number. Less than Tommy and I but still a great outcome thanks to Logan being on the card.”

Esteemed wrestling reporter Dave Meltzer said the DAZN PPV sold just 100,000 buys in the US.
So if Paul’s estimations are correct, that would mean only 600,000 box office receipts came in from the UK.
Despite the American’s claim, KSI’s manager Mams Taylor, co-founder of Misfits Boxing who staged the event, hit back.
Taylor posted on X, formerly Twitter: “First of all you and Tommy did 550k Globally (most from UK).

“Secondly, you and Nate barely did 350k.
“Thirdly, you guys put Showtime in $16M of debt and contributed to their downfall because you demanded crazy undeserved upfront fees and ppv’s tanked.
“Fourthly, we did more than 700k but nice try. What else?”
