Jake Paul Sees over 2 million Pay-Per-View Buys for Alex Pereira Fight

Jake Paul believes a potential fight against Alex Pereira would be one of the biggest fights ever.

After Paul picked up a win over Mike Perry, he called out Alex Pereira, which would be a massive bout. However, it does seem unlikely to happen as Pereira is under UFC contract. But, Paul says if the fight does happen, he thinks it would sell over two million pay-per-view buys.

“You’re friends with Dana [White], tell Dana, bro…If we’re gonna sell two million pay-per-views, this is a business at the end of the day…The pay-per-view numbers in this industry are going down…If [Alex] Pereira is selling like 500k pay-per-view buys, and then this has a chance to do 2-3 million [buys], that’s basically six fights,” Paul said on the Nelk Boys podcast (via Sportskeeda).
