Jake Paul vs Tyron Woodley II MEGATHREAD *Locked

[Royce's Gi]

Sure


But what about the Extraterrestrial sales?


ET and his buddies bought it, as well as the Xenomorphs and Yautjas.

I bet millions streamed it illegally tho lol.

Exactly. But since the actual sales are the only metric you can use to judge the success of an event like this. And considering how the Paul’s have a massive internet following. 65K is a huge bomb no matter how you look at it. I guess his “fans” couldn’t con their parents out of the $60 or whatever the price was. There’s a difference between having free “followers”, as opposed to having paying customers.

I heard they gave away ALOT of free tickets.

Where did you hear that?

 

[Rear Naked Toke]

Most people I know don't have cable. Only reason I have it is because it came free with my internet lol

Exactly! And it's not just limited to people in Jake's age bracket; I'm 38 and the last time I had cable was in 2009.

"65k terrestrial PPV buys ... streaming numbers unknown."

Most viewers in Jake's demographic likely do not have cable or satellite services, so the majority of his buys would come from PPV streams. If anything, 65k terrestrial PPV buys is fairly impressive.

Regardless, that article was published to bash the Paul's and boxing, nothing more.

Stop making sense!!! This is sherdog and we hate Jake Paul!

 

[TempleoftheDog]

I heard they gave away ALOT of free tickets.

That actually makes sense. There is a lot of shit I would go see for free. But, I wouldn’t spend a single dollar of my own money to go watch.

 

[snugglecakes]

Good. I hope it puts an end to this shit show circus.

 

[horseshoe_pass man]

It did 300k or 500k or something last time on showtine. There is no way it did just 65k. Use ur brains ppl. U can expect a slight drop off but never that much

 

[SokoudjouFanboy]

The original idea was to box Tommy Fury, Woodley came in as a late replacement after Fury pulled out

Yeah I know, Woodley is the last guy I'd have chosen though.

 

[Bigmoney4166]

Where did you hear that?

If I remember correctly, somebody on Instagram who went to the event for free. That's how he got his tickets.

 

[DebtCollectorMMA]

No wonder it was uploaded on YouTube right away

 

[ifindgifsforjackslack]

I didnt even know it was on until i seen the gifs of tyron getting slept

@Sweater of AV already exposed this a few days ago in the boxing forum. I won't pay any attention to 65k lol

 

[markys00]

because Jake is not the draw he wants people to believe

He means, how did it sell so many lol

 

[markys00]

@Sweater of AV already exposed this a few days ago in the boxing forum. I won't pay any attention to 65k lol

But didn't you pay attention twice by posting/looking?

 

[TempleoftheDog]

That is exactly what fads are. Popular one day and extremely uncool the next. This was a joke from the very beginning.. A novelty. People get bored really quick these days. I wouldn’t be surprised if the numbers are accurate. No big fan of either sport took that shit seriously.

 

[bubbleboyjones]

So it outsold every UFC terrestrial ppv this year. Pretty good

 

[Rozpylacz]

65k too many. its a shame people are paying for that shit.

 

[Reffson]

Gotta be a sucker to pay for that crap. Step into the Octagon Jake Paul or forever be a con man.

 

[immyaxl]

I think we have a year to 18 months left of celebrity boxing. Its a circus.

Jake Paul - Fight a real cruiser-weight and lets see if it goes two rounds. He'd get killed, he's a YouTube Tomato Can

MMA is a circus and it's been around for nearly 30 years. Pro wrestling which MMA is modeled after is over 120 years old. There will always be a market for freak show fights.
