The interest from the audience wasn’t as strong for a second bout between Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley.

A recent report indicates that the rematch between Jake Paul and former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley didn’t generate the expected number of pay-per-view buys. According to Steven Muehlhausen of DAZN, Paul vs. Woodley 2 sold less than 65,000 PPV purchases on cable/satellite TV, while the streaming numbers remain undisclosed.

Jorge Masvidal didn’t hold back his thoughts and tweeted: “Bitch boy can’t afford the big boys. Never again do I want to hear my name associated with the fake. 3 0 5 day is coming #supernecessary.”

After knocking out Woodley in the sixth round of their Showtime boxing match, Paul challenged Masvidal and Nate Diaz to a fight.

“Y’all are some bitches for leaving this arena,” Paul exclaimed. “I know you don’t want that fight. I’ll take on both of you next. Break free from your contracts with Dana White. I’ll defeat them too.”

Paul has risen to prominence in boxing after gaining fame as a YouTuber before transitioning to the ring. If these reports are accurate, it’s unlikely that Paul will address these numbers, especially considering his claim that the initial fight with Woodley drew 1.5 million buys, whereas it was later revealed to be closer to 500,000.
