      Jake Paul reveals prediction for Anderson Silva PPV buys with earnings of $18m but says he’ll only fight in summer now

      by

      JAKE PAUL could generate $18million in pay-per-view sales alone for his fight with Anderson Silva – if his estimations are correct. The YouTuber-turned boxer beat Silva last weekend in Arizona, marking the most legitimate win of his 6-0 career.

      And he believes the bout will have brought in up to 300,000 PPV buys when it is all said and done.
      That amount, priced at $60, means $18m (£15.6m) would have been made in box office receipts.
      Paul said on his brother’s podcast: “I think it will go around 200-300,00 which is kind of upsetting.”
      The American also revealed he will now target fights in the summer, having competed against Halloween, the World Series and the NFL.

      He said: “This is the worst time of the year to fight, but guess what? I had to fight.
      “All of my fights from now on will be in the summer, there’s no sports. There’s like this perfect gap in July/early August where there’s no sports.
      “And by the way, all my others fights were during Covid when no one had anything to do or anything to watch.
      “NFL was cancelled, NBA, nothing was on. I had to fight this year, I just had to get it f***** done, I’m sick of waiting around.”

      Paul, 25, had not boxed since last December, when he knocked out ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley, 40, in their short notice rematch.
      Woodley only filled in, four months after losing on points, after Tommy Fury, 23, suffered a rib injury.
      Fury rescheduled with Paul for August but was again withdrawn, this time amid a US visa issue.
      Hasim Rahman Jr, 31, signed in replace but lightening struck twice as the bout was cancelled due to a weight disagreement.
      So by the time Paul stepped foot in the ring against Silva, 47, it had been ten months since he had fought.
      I think it will go around 200-300,00 which is kind of upsetting.Jake Paul on Anderson Silva PPV buys
      And on the week of the bout, it was thrown into doubt after the UFC legend claimed he was knocked out twice in sparring.
      Silva admitted his words were lost in translation but the commission still held an emergency meeting, later passing the Brazilian fit to fight.
      But Paul claimed the initial news of Silva’s fitness woes caused a negative impact on the PPV sales.
      He said: “On the PPV buys thing, the pre-buys were going crazy, up, up, up.
      “On Wednesday, when the news came out about Anderson, saying he got knocked out or whatever and the fight was in jeopardy and all this press came out, the pre-buys tanked all the way down.

      “The general public sees that and is like, ‘Oh, it’s not happening.’ Tommy pulled out, Hasim pulled out. ‘Oh, Jake f***** Paul can’t get an event together, this is done.’
      “It killed, ticket sales, we’re still selling tickets, that day everything went to zero.”

      It improved his record to 6-0 and marked the first time he claimed victory over an opponent with prior professional boxing experience.
      And it has also forced Paul to think twice about his previous goal of leaving the sport at 10-0.
      He said on The MMA Hour: “My brother says that I should retire and leave the world and leave people with their jaws dropped, but I’m not going to do that.
      “I have exceeded my own expectations but this is just the start, man.

      “I am really starting to get good and there are a lot of people I want to beat and I want to be a world champion.
      “Initially, I was like ‘I’ll go 10-0 and then retire’, but now I’m 6-0 and it’s like I’m just getting warmed up, so who knows what ends up happening?”
      The big criticism that remains for Paul, 25, is not having yet fought a seasoned boxer.
      Tommy Fury, 23, has twice pulled out in the past while Hasim Rahman Jr, 31, was also withdrawn amid a weight row.

      Fury, who was unable to fight amid a rib injury and US visa issue, remains on the cards for next year in the UK or Middle East.
      Although Paul warned he will not be forced into fighting anyone.
      He said: “I feel like definitely professional boxer is the No1 criticism, but again, anyone that is smart knows that Anderson Silva is a real professional boxer, and just beat a former world champion.
      “So I don’t know. But at this point, I’m just going to do whatever the f*** I want, and fight whoever is willing and ready to show up.”

      Jake Paul calls out boxing legend Floyd Mayweather for ‘massive’ catchweight fight to settle beef after Miami brawl

      by

      JAKE PAUL has called out Floyd Mayweather for a “massive” catchweight fight – just over a year after his brother’s showdown with the boxing great.The YouTuber turned boxer’s older brother – Logan – went the distance with the former five-weight world champion last June, much to the surprise of many.

      Jake, however, ended up trading blows with Mayweather and his bodyguards before his brother at a pre-fight press conference.
      And he’d like to settle the score with Money once and for all, telling MMA Fighting: “It would be interesting, still, to actually fight Floyd, though, in an actual professional bout.”
      Jake, 25, reckons the grudge match would do big business if Mayweather came out of professional retirement to take the bout.
      He continued: “First of all, that’s still a big fight and still a massive, massive draw.

      “And if it was an actual pro match, I think people would be super, super interested.”
      Despite the huge weight and age discrepancy between the pair, Jake is confident the bout would be sanctioned.
      The former Disney star said: “He fought my brother and Logan was weighing 190lbs.
      “I could get to 175lbs and Floyd could weigh 165lb and a commission would approve that.”

      Mayweather, 45, never came close to tasting defeat in his professional career – which he closed out in August 2017 with a tenth-round TKO victory over UFC star Conor McGregor.
      But Jake firmly believes he has what it takes to put the first blemish on the legend’s record.
      He said: “I just know that I would win. i would love to take his O.
      “And it would be a massive fight as far as pay-per-views are concerned.”

      Mayweather, 45, is currently gearing up for an exhibition bout with YouTube star Deji.
      Jake, meanwhile, won’t fight until next year following his decision victory over UFC great Anderson Silva late last month. More

      ‘I lose faith in my generation’ – Jake Paul responds to fight fix claims after beating UFC legend Anderson Silva

      by

      JAKE PAUL has responded to allegations of “rigging” his fight with Anderson Silva. The YouTuber-turned boxer beat UFC legend Silva on points over eight rounds last weekend in Arizona.

      But keyboard warriors took to social media to suggest Paul fixed the fight while others discredited the result due to Silva’s age.
      Paul, 25, said on The MMA Hour: “I think smart people with intelligence are giving me props and respect.
      “Like the WBC President [Mauricio Sulaimán] saying that anyone who says Jake is not a real boxer is just bitter and is a hater.
      “People like Teddy Atlas showing me mad respect, a lot of fighters showing me mad respect, a lot of MMA guys texting me saying, ‘You look really sharp, that was the best you’ve fought.’

      “Ryan Garcia showing me respect. So the smart people who I care about are showing that love.
      “There are the people who will always be there in my career who are discrediting it.
      “Now, they’re saying it was rigged. It went from, ‘Jake’s going to get knocked out by Anderson,’ to, ‘Oh, that was rigged.’”
      Paul was forced to deny baseless allegations of match fixing after his wins over former UFC pair Ben Askren, 38, and Tyron Woodley, 40.

      And after beating Silva, 47, in the most legitimate victory of his 6-0 career, the American found himself in the exact same spot.
      Paul said: “I lose faith in my generation and my peers, and us as a society and a world when I see that type of stuff and that type of stupidity.
      “It just sucks. It sucks because I worked so hard for this.
      “I dedicate everything, sacrifice everything, every single day, bust my balls, have a 15-person team working around the clock to help me become the best boxer possible, and when I do something like beating Anderson Silva, they try to take it away from me.
      “But I know deep down, and I guess that’s all that really matters.”

      Fury welcomed the opportunity to face the social media sensation, although he doesn’t think it’d be much of a fight.
      During an appearance on The MMA Hour, he said: “I have got to say Jake is better than KSI. I think my mother could knock out KSI in a round.
      “When I watched him fight those two men, I wasn’t even looking at the two men because they were useless.
      “I was looking at him and what he does as a boxer and he can’t fight.

      “There are some people in this world that are rough and ready and can fight. He can’t fight.
      “You look at KSI and I don’t see a fighting man, I see a pretender who plays FIFA on YouTube or whatever he is famous for.”
      Fury, 23, will return to action a week on Sunday on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather’s clash with YouTuber Deji in Dubai.
      TNT will likely pursue a grudge match with Paul – which has twice fallen through – should he get through Paul Bamba.

      He said: “I haven’t spoken much on the Jake Paul situation in recent months, but when you see me get in the ring with one of these guys – and I don’t know who it’s going to be first, whether it’s KSI or Jake Paul – you will see the definition of an easy night.
      “You will see why I’ve been saying what I’ve been saying.
      “These guys can’t fight, it’s like me dragging someone off a white-collar event or someone who has just started amateur boxing and asking them to come in and spar.

      But he said Paul, the man he has twice signed to face but pulled out both times, is the better of the duo.

      “I’m telling you, when I watched him fight those two men – I wasn’t even looking at the two men as they are useless – I was watching him and what he does as a boxer, he can’t fight.

      Tommy Fury says Jake Paul grudge match will sell out 70,000 stadium in UK and reveals why YouTube MUST fight him

      by

      TOMMY FURY believes a grudge match with Jake Paul gives the YouTuber the chance to legitimise himself and sell out a 70,000-seat stadium. The celebrity boxing rivals have TWICE signed to fight but both times Fury was forced to pull out.

      A rib injury in December was soon followed by a US visa issue in August, leaving their business unsettled.
      And Fury confirmed his travel ban in America still stands, meaning Paul would have to come abroad for the bout.
      But his British rival reckons they have the joint pulling power to pack out a stadium in the UK.
      Fury said on The MMA Hour: “I don’t believe that there’s anybody in this country that wouldn’t come to this fight.

      “I think over here that would break all records because Jake is very popular over here.
      “You know, my popularity lies here in the UK. So yeah, I think definitely we could definitely draw 70,000 for that.”
      Paul, 25, improved to 6-0 over the weekend by beating UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, on points over eight rounds.
      It was the social media star-turned prizefighter’s biggest win to date and against his first opponent with prior pro boxing experience.

      Fury, 23, admitted Paul is a better boxer than YouTube nemesis KSI, 29, but said both have to fight him in order to gain any sort of recognition.
      He said: “If Jake Paul and KSI didn’t have to fight me, they wouldn’t. They have to fight me to prove that they are legitimate boxers.
      “They have to. There is nobody else with my following and my exposure with eight fights in, there’s nobody.
      “If they wanna be regarded as boxers, they have to go through me.
      “This fight between me and Jake does not need selling and I will definitely, definitely take care of business next year.
      “Whether that’s in America or the UK.”

      Paul confirmed he is willing to reschedule with Fury for a third time, but only if they are willing to front the money for it.
      He said: “There’s definitely interest. I think if his team are taking the financial risk and putting the event on, then I’m cool with that.
      “I just don’t want to take the risk anymore because I think he’s going to back out, again, most likely.
      “But it’s an easy fight for me, like way easier than Anderson. The kid’s a novice, he’s never fought anyone good.
      “He’s never even fought an eight-round fight, so he just doesn’t have the experience like I do, which is crazy to say because he’s been doing it his whole life.

      “But people call him a “professional boxer” and they respect him as a professional boxer, so yeah, I’d love to strip that title from him.
      “I wouldn’t even have to actually train for that fight. I would still train, because I’m a professional, but I wouldn’t have to train to fight him.”

      But victory over the 47-year-old UFC great has done little to impress Fury, the father of Paul’s rival Tommy.
      He said on Instagram Live: “This man [Tommy] is fighting here, at least he’s a proper fighter.
      “He trains as a boxer. All he’s fighting, he’s had seven pro fights against proper opposition.
      “Not some hand-picked geriatric that needs a Zimmer frame [walker] to get in the ring.”

      Paul, 25, dropped Silva in the final round of their Arizona dust-up on his way to a decision victory.
      John, however, can’t understand how Paul opted to fight the near-fifty-year-old Silva.
      He said: “If any of my sons was fifty years old and doing that, I’d say ‘Listen, have a day off, give your head a wobble.’
      “‘Alls you’re going to do is make a fool of yourself and entertainment for other people.

      “You’re making the other man that’s useless look good.’”
      Paul and Tommy have twice been scheduled to throw down with one another but have yet to share the ring.
      Injury and illness to Fury scuppered their first scheduled meeting last December, while visa issues laid waste to their second.
      And John has no doubt in his mind his youngest son would teach The Problem Child a lesson.
      He said: “Jake Paul can’t fight. [Tommy] will knock Jake Paul out with one punch.
      “And I’ll say it now on camera: Jake Paul will get knocked out with the first right hand that he throws, and I’ll put money on it.”
      Paul expected critics to be out in force after his latest victory, saying: “They’re gonna find something to say.
      “‘Fight a real boxer!’ B***h, I tried. Hey, if I was walking on water, people would say I can’t swim.
