Arguably, the most significant boxing spectacle of the year unfolded on Friday night, and it was an unqualified success. Despite the technical glitches on Netflix and the somewhat leisurely pace of the main event, Jake Paul and Mike Tyson managed to create a truly remarkable spectacle.

Preceding World Title Fights that Exceeded Expectations

Two world title fights preceded the main event, and they lived up to and even surpassed all expectations. AT&T Stadium was filled to capacity as Paul and Tyson took the stage. In front of a sold-out crowd and with over 60 million viewers online, Paul emerged victorious against Tyson, making it a perfect night for the 27-year-old. And he's been bragging about it ever since.

On Tuesday, Paul shared an ESPN article that detailed how the Paul-Tyson event raked in over $18 million in total revenue from ticket sales. This remarkable figure set a new record for a combat sports event outside of Las Vegas. It's a testament to Paul's ability to draw in audiences.

Jake Paul's Claim to Be the "Biggest Draw in Boxing"

His caption, "Biggest draw in boxing," clearly shows his confidence. It's not hard to see this as a subtle dig at Canelo Alvarez, who is often referred to as "the face of boxing." Paul has been challenging Alvarez for quite some time.It's important to note that none of Paul's previous fights came close to these numbers. Tyson played a significant role, as "Iron Mike" has a massive fan base from his earlier years and his post-retirement status in pop culture.Nevertheless, achieving these numbers is an impressive feat. Tyson could have faced a less-known opponent, and the results would not have been nearly as favorable.Paul has demonstrated his talent for drawing viewers. Whether these fans are tuning in out of spite or genuine interest doesn't matter. In the end, the numbers speak for themselves and provide evidence to support his claims.
