Jake Paul reflects on record-breaking success of Mike Tyson fight, surpassing UFC milestones: "Bigger gate than every UFC event history"

Jake Paul celebrated the record-breaking success of his latest boxing triumph against Mike Tyson.

On Friday, Nov. 15, Paul made history. The main event between him and Tyson may not have reached expectations, but 'The Problem Child' has a reason to celebrate. The Netflix event filled 70,000+ seats, generating around $18 million in ticket sales.

Earlier today, the UFC's top six ticket-sale gates were posted on X, with September's event in the Sphere being number one with a reported gate of just over $21 million. Paul responded by claiming his event against Tyson surpassed those numbers:

"Crazy that we did a bigger gate than every UFC event history & that company is 30+ years old. Biggest gate of Mike Tyson’s career. Biggest attendance of Mike’s career. Biggest viewership of Mike’s career. Biggest combat sports gate in US combat sports history outside of Las Vegas. It takes 2 to tango #PaulTyson @MostVpromotions"

Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson also created shockingly impressive viewership numbers for Netflix, which broadcasted the event to expand into live sports. According to Paul's Most Valuable Promotions, around sixty million households worldwide reportedly watched the boxing event.
