Jake Paul has a feeling his showdown with Anderson Silva will garner him the biggest pay-per-view numbers of his nascent boxing career.

He did 1.5 million against Askren. What he does now depends on if the second Woodley fight killed his aura or not.

I think people are tired of Jake Paul.

But I also think people are foolish enough to fork out their money one more time because they think Silva knocks him off.

It could do close to a million... we'll see.

This shouldn't even be on a boxing site! ....Until he fights a boxer , the sooner this mug is gone the better.

Well, I gotta respect the hustle of Jake.

From youtube fame to smartly fighting and beating former mma fighters that don't really know how to box.

Anderson does know how to of course, and beat Chavez Jr in some 8 rounder. He looked good, even though yes, Chavez Jr is another case altogether.

The only thing here is, Silva is a bit on the aged side and Paul is bigger by some degree.

The guy still hasn't really fought a genuine regular pro boxer, but 'ey, if a major network like Showtime is paying you, you take it.

Anderson Silva is a boxer with a dominant win over JCC Jr last year.

Anderson Silva, as a boxer, is a better opponent than any champion in boxing faced in his first five fights, Lomachenko aside.

Clown show. Washed up mma guys, football players and a youtuber. For $75 only a fool pays for such things.

JCC Jr. was there for a payday his career was dead. Come on like beating that absolute joke meant anything in 2021.

It seems like hes toning down his expectations now and giving a realistic estimate, which suggests these shows arent actually doing all that well. I dont buy the 1.5m for Askren at all if hes saying 700k for Anderson, because Anderson is a much bigger name than Ben and a much bigger threat.

Either way. **** this circus. Jake, box a boxer or go fight these MMA guys in MMA.

It's a different network and thus different level of marketing - Triller put a lot of money into promoting the fight and hired stars like Dua Lipa and Justin Beiber to come perform between fights, and that accounts for a lot of the buys/hype.

It's like Canelo's PPV buys dropping off by 200k+ when we moved from Fox PPV to DAZN.

So what you are really saying he needs celebs having concerts to sell his crappy product? Which make no mistake is smaller wrestlers who got booted from the UFC because they were long past their primes. People have caught on real quick and the novelty has faded. It's either fight legit boxers or bounce.
