Jake Paul claims record ticket sales for Tyson fight surpass UFC events

Jake Paul has claimed that his recent fight with Mike Tyson generated the highest ticket sales for any boxing event outside Las Vegas, exceeding $18 million. This figure reportedly surpasses the gate for any UFC event in history. The fight, held at AT&T Stadium in Texas, reached 60 million homes worldwide, according to Netflix. Paul won the match by unanimous decision, but faced criticism for his performance, which he attributed to a pre-fight injury. Paul has frequently criticized UFC president Dana White and now asserts that his event outperformed UFC 306, which had nearly $22 million in ticket sales. He highlighted the significance of the fight's attendance and viewership records.
