Jake Paul and Ben Askren fought as the main event of a show that had music performances after every fight. In the end, Paul answered many critics with another knockout victory to move his record to 3-0. Following the boxing, the slapping contest, and appearances from mega names of the entertainment world, ‘The Problem Child’ revealed just how successful the event was.

The undefeated Paul took to his Instagram to reveal the number of PPV sales and how much Triller made from the event. He posted a picture with the Triller Fight Club belt and covered it in $1 notes. The YouTube boxer captioned it, “1.5 million PPV buys… $75 million dollars generated.”

This showed that event was indeed a tremendous success. Triller has set out to change the way boxing events are organized, and the two events they have conducted have been a massive success. Thus, we may see more of the same model in the future.
