Paul Brothers Made More PPV Than Any Other Boxer In 2021

Logan and Jake Paul have achieved the highest amount of PPV out of every other boxer last year

Following his recent appearance on MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani, internet-personality-turned-boxer Logan Paul has reported that he and his younger brother, Jake Paul, hold a very impressive joint statistic.

Out of any other boxer last year, the two Paul brothers reportedly hold the highest spots for Pay Per View (PPV) sales at a massive 2.7 million buys.

Holding the highest PPV out of the two brothers is Jake Paul, 25, who racked up a colossal 1.5 million buys following his fight with Ben Askren, 37.

Those 1.5 million PPV buyers who tuned in to the match would have been buzzing, especially since Paul knocked out the former UFC star in only one minute and 59 seconds into the first-round.

Logan, 26, followed a similar suit to his younger brother at his exhibition match with boxing legend Floyd Mayweather, 45, who is hailed as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters of all time.

When asked about the fight by Helwani, 'Did you ever find out about how much that did on Pay Per View, like, the actual number?' Paul casually replied: "I think it was 1.2 million buys."

"Wow, on a Sunday night?" Helwani asked.

Paul revealed: "Yeah, I couldn't believe it either."

While no champion of the full eight-round fight between Paul and Mayweather was officially announced, the PPV figures are quite literally off the charts.

Logan's fans have since taken to the MMA Hour comment section congratulating this boxer for his achievements.

"Man, that Logan Paul interview was incredible and nice to see how mature he is and how much he's grown since the original Logan - it's a complete 360," one fan wrote.

Another added: "Logan is such a likeable kid... I can understand why people don't like the act Jake puts on, but they don't seem to get the fact that it is an act!!

"That aside, I still get why people don't like Jake's shtick, but Logan is super honest, genuine, friendly and doesn't put on any false personas."

With that said, following the Paul vs. Mayweather fight back in the summer of 2021, the 26-year-old has since made it public that he still hasn't been paid for the Floyd Mayweather fight and even took to calling Mayweather a 'dirty little rat' on Twitter due to accusations of late payments.

Helwani asked Paul about the situation to which he replied: "I've not been paid in full, that is a fact.

"There also have been alleged under-the-table cash deals that I was excluded from even though my name and likeness was used to sell our fight."

Paul went on to say: "He's in multiple lawsuits for this fight already... we’re just trying to collect what’s rightfully ours.

"The only way to get this guy to move is to pipe up and embarrass him."
