Rumor: Jake Paul vs Tyron Woodley is trending toward 1 million PPV buys, very high pre sales, Pacquiao vs. Ugas numbers very low around 150,000 buys.

    I'm not sure who "nobody" and "everyone" are but I think I understand what you are saying.

    Most people tuning in for this will be there for the circus. Thing is, based on what I witness, most big PPV fights are rented as events whether it be a legitimate fight or a circus that's being displayed.

    Hopefully, some there for the circus will become fans of the fighters on the undercard or of the sport itself. At the very least, sounds like the fighters are benefiting from the revenue and prefight exposure.

      This is boxing's biggest event of the year. Not Pac, not Canelo. Kind of sad.

        Jake Paul is a marketing genius. He’s bringing back boxing back to America.

        I love white hypes. Always been a fan of them going back to Jason Litzau and even Kelly Pavlik.

            He admitted picking Tyron Woodley was part of that ploy as Tyron had the "right look" i.e Black and jacked.

                I was at a major sports book here in Vegas and they were showing Pavlik Taylor. The place went absolutely nuts when Pavlik came back to knock him out. Great memories..

                Too bad about his career and alcohol. And getting outboxed by Bhop. I liked the guy.

                  He freaking blew his shot, he had the makings of a major star and draw that moment was huge it was all over the news stations and espn and even cnn, i remember hilary clinton even brought him out for a ********ic rally, he then blew it when he started drinking hard, If he kept on winning he would have likely been a major draw in boxing and superstar. Im glad he is sober now, but when he fell off he was blaming everyone and so spiteful, he even fired and blamed his trainer who was like a father figure to him and has never mended that relationship, liquor is no joke.

                      True, it was an action fight with both guys getting knocked down. I think it was the Boxing Writers Fight of the Year for 2007.
