Jake Paul dedicated an over two-minute video to respond to Conor McGregor. In the video, he made a few claims about his and the Irishman’s PPV numbers. ‘The Problem Child’ misquoted the PPV buys figure for his bouts and also made a false Conor McGregor claim. Fans took notice of this and pointed it out on social media.
The hottest prospect in boxing, with an undefeated 5-0 professional record, will headline the mecca of fighting, Madison Square Garden, on August 6 against Hasim Rahman Jr (12-1).

While promoting his MSG headliner, the YouTuber-turned-boxer claimed that a fight between him and the UFC’s biggest star would make both fighters around 75-100 million.
‘The Notorious’ replied to the young boxer’s comment and labeled him as a ‘flop’ and ‘nobody’. He also wrote, “You’ve 2 fights and done 70k buys.”
The ever-outspoken Paul came after the Irish superstar for opposing him as a PPV draw. While the UFC star focused on Paul’s in-ring numbers, ‘The Problem Child’ didn’t hold back as he dragged in Dee Devlin while berating McGregor. However, it was his false claims that the fans didn’t appreciate.

Paul claimed his rematch with Tyron Woodley closed around 200,000 PPV buys. However, the reported numbers suggest otherwise.

Even for his bout with Ben Askren, the younger Paul brother earlier claimed 1.5 million PPV buys. However, in the video, he offered that it did 500K PPV buys.
