, Jake Paul reveals prediction for Anderson Silva PPV buys with earnings of $18m but says he’ll only fight in summer now

JAKE PAUL could generate $18million in pay-per-view sales alone for his fight with Anderson Silva – if his estimations are correct.

The YouTuber-turned boxer beat Silva last weekend in Arizona, marking the most legitimate win of his 6-0 career.

And he believes the bout will have brought in up to 300,000 PPV buys when it is all said and done.

That amount, priced at $60, means $18m (£15.6m) would have been made in box office receipts.

Paul said on his brother’s podcast: “I think it will go around 200-300,00 which is kind of upsetting.”

The American also revealed he will now target fights in the summer, having competed against Halloween, the World Series and the NFL.

He said: “This is the worst time of the year to fight, but guess what? I had to fight.

“All of my fights from now on will be in the summer, there’s no sports. There’s like this perfect gap in July/early August where there’s no sports.

“And by the way, all my others fights were during Covid when no one had anything to do or anything to watch.

“NFL was cancelled, NBA, nothing was on. I had to fight this year, I just had to get it f***** done, I’m sick of waiting around.”

Paul, 25, had not boxed since last December, when he knocked out ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley, 40, in their short notice rematch.

Woodley only filled in, four months after losing on points, after Tommy Fury, 23, suffered a rib injury.

Fury rescheduled with Paul for August but was again withdrawn, this time amid a US visa issue.

Hasim Rahman Jr, 31, signed in replace but lightening struck twice as the bout was cancelled due to a weight disagreement.

So by the time Paul stepped foot in the ring against Silva, 47, it had been ten months since he had fought.

And on the week of the bout, it was thrown into doubt after the UFC legend claimed he was knocked out twice in sparring.

Silva admitted his words were lost in translation but the commission still held an emergency meeting, later passing the Brazilian fit to fight.

But Paul claimed the initial news of Silva’s fitness woes caused a negative impact on the PPV sales.

He said: “On the PPV buys thing, the pre-buys were going crazy, up, up, up.

“On Wednesday, when the news came out about Anderson, saying he got knocked out or whatever and the fight was in jeopardy and all this press came out, the pre-buys tanked all the way down.

“The general public sees that and is like, ‘Oh, it’s not happening.’ Tommy pulled out, Hasim pulled out. ‘Oh, Jake f***** Paul can’t get an event together, this is done.’

“It killed, ticket sales, we’re still selling tickets, that day everything went to zero.”

Boxing is the most loved sport in the world. It is made up of two competitors who aim to knock the head off each other. The rules of boxing vary from country to country. There are three types: Amateur, Professional, or Olympic boxing.

Amateur boxing is usually practiced at school, college or university. This form of boxing involves sparring with no protection and using padded gloves. Usually amateur boxing competitions consist of three rounds of five minutes each. Amateur boxing can be done in many styles, including Kickboxing and Muay Thai, Taekwondo or Karate, Judo, Wrestling, and Muay Thai.

Boxing is typically practiced in clubs, stadiums or gyms. They have protective equipment such as mouthpieces. Professional boxing contests last six rounds and last for four minutes each. There are several different styles of professional boxing including Boxing, MMA (Mixed Martial Arts), Kickboxing, Muay Thai, Taekwondo and others.

Olympic boxing can be seen at the Olympics. Special protective gear must be worn by boxers to ensure compliance with international standards. The competition lasts for eight rounds, each lasting three minutes. Olympic boxing has only two styles, Light Flyweight vs Heavyweight.

The basic skills of boxing are:

  • Punching techniques
  • Guarding techniques
  • Footwork
  • Stance
  • The body moves
  • Defense
  • Combination
  • Rotation
  • Spare parts

Punching Techniques

There are seven types. Each punch is unique. Some punches require greater strength than others. An uppercut, for instance, requires tremendous strength. A straight punch on the other side requires less power, but is more effective than other punches.

There are many combinations that can be used to punch. These are combinations which combine several punches in order to achieve a specific goal. A combination can contain multiple parts. For example, a combination of a left and right hook will result in damage to the opponent’s jaw.

Guard Techniques

Boxers use their bodies to defend themselves against attack. He does this by using his legs.

Legs

Boxers should use the legs to protect themselves against kicks. He raises his leg when he is hit with a kick and then moves away from the opponent. To avoid being kicked in the side, he bends down if the attacker attacks from the front. He will block the kick with his foot if the attack is coming from behind.

Elbows

Because elbow strikes inflict a lot of pain, they are very effective. An elbow strike may be delivered directly or in an indirect manner. Directly means that your opponent is hit with your forearm. However, indirectly means that your elbow strike is delivered with another part or your arm.

Hands

Boxers use both their hands and arms to prevent incoming blows. Boxers raise their fists to block incoming blows and then move in the direction of the attacker’s attack. Then, they touch the attacker’s hand.

Knees

When receiving a blow to the stomach, abdomen or chest, a boxer should bend his knees to absorb the impact. Knee strikes are often used for defense purposes.

Feet

A boxer should take control of an attack and respond with counter-attacks. This allows him to put distance between himself, his opponent, and the ring. Also, boxers must maintain their balance while delivering counter-attacks.

Stances

Boxing effectively requires a boxer to have a good stance. His stance will determine how he defends. It determines where he will face his opponent and how he will position his body. There are many stances available to boxers. Here are some of the more popular ones:

  • A low stance

Combinations
