Jake Paul’s fight with Tyron Woodley was “bombed” at the box office as it garnered less than 65,000 purchases.
Paul defeated Woodley, who had only two weeks to replace the injured Tommy Fury with a sixth-round knockout earlier this month.

According to DAZN’s Steven MuhlhausenHowever, the YouTuber’s second fight with an MMA hero over pay-per-view was viewed by less than 65,000 people.
That’s less than last month’s professional wrestling promotion AEW’s Full Gear Show.
Muehlhausen tweeted: “Sources: Turns out Jake Paul Vs Tyron Woodley 2 was “bombed” on cable/satellite [sic] PPV.
“Numbers are down from November’s #AEW Full Gear, which saw less than 65,000 purchases on Terrestrial TV. Streaming numbers unknown.”
Paul boasted about his PPV numbers after his first win over Woodley in August.
The YouTuber claimed he made 1.5 million purchases, but it never actually made it over 500,000.

The American remains undefeated as he has won all five of his bouts since moving to boxing last year.
However, the 24-year-old has never faced a professional boxer and has instead shared the ring with a fellow YouTuber, a former NBA player and two MMA legends.
Paul was also called a “joke” by boxing pundit Stephen A. Smith, who believes the social media personality is deceiving the public.
Smith insisted that he now needed to step in with a real boxer to prove his worth in the ring.
