In the ever-evolving world of boxing, new feuds arise. Unsurprisingly there is a new one in town: Jake Paul and Mams Taylor. Jake Paul recently retweeted a video of Tommy Fury. Consequently, Mams, the promoter under KSI’s Misfits banner quickly fact-checked the young influencer turned boxer.
It is quite a known fact among influencer boxing aficionados that KSI and Jake Paul have been having some major beef. That feud extends to Mams as well. But beyond the jabs, hooks, and verbal uppercuts, a real story unfolds in the numbers, revealing the harsh realities of the pay-per-view (PPV) battlefield.

Jake Paul gets fact-checked by KSI’s manager
Jake Paul stated on Twitter that KSI would appeal Tommy Fury’s interview, albeit with humor. He commended the boxers for reaching a staggering 700k global buys, praising this figure as a “great number.” Yet, hidden beneath the bravado lies a tangled web of truth and rivalry. After claiming superiority in his bout against Tommy Fury, Jake Paul experienced a slightly unexpected turn of events.
Mams Taylor, not one to hold back, fired back with some statistics of his own. He challenged Jake’s claim that he and Tommy pulled in 550k global buys. Furthermore, he pointed out that most of those came from the UK. Then, he delivered a one-two punch by highlighting the less-than-impressive 350k buys from Jake and Nate Diaz‘s fight. The fight was actually raising concerns about not generating enough revenue according to Marca. But Mams didn’t stop there.
First of all you and Tommy did 550k Globally (most from UK)
Secondly, you and Nate barely did 350k 😂
Thirdly, you guys put Showtime in $16M of debt and contributed to their downfall because you demanded crazy undeserved upfront fees and ppv’s tanked.
Fourthly, we did more than… https://t.co/pghHWG0mtE— Proper Loud Music (@MamsTaylor) October 26, 2023
In a narrative twist, Mams Taylor exposed the dark side of the business, revealing that Jake and his entourage had pushed Showtime into a whopping $16 million debt. The reason? Demanding exorbitant upfront fees that they didn’t deserve. To add insult to injury, PPV sales had taken a nosedive. Jake and Nate may have been the culprits in this downfall, leaving the broadcast giant to count their losses. “you guys put Showtime in $16M of debt and contributed to their downfall because you demanded crazy undeserved upfront fees and PPVs tanked.”
