The Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight has joined a prestigious list of boxing events having attracted huge gate revenue.
Paul beat Tyson in a record-breaking sanctioned professional fight, which saw a crowd pack in to watch the unique spectacle at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
The event drew a huge viewership on Netflix, with 60 million worldwide tuning in to the clash, which was the first broadcast of live boxing on the streaming service.
But it was in the stadium where records were also shattered with 72,300 fans purchasing tickets for the event.
It saw the event draw a mammoth $18,117,072 gate, with an average ticket price of $304 seeing the event draw the highest revenue in US history for a combat sports card outside of Las Vegas.
Paul vs Tyson also earned over double the previous biggest event at that stadium, with Canelo Alvarez vs Billy Joe Saunders holding the previous record with $9m in gate earnings raked in.
But most notably it currently now in an illustrious rankings list, as one of the top ten highest-earning gate events in boxing history.
It sits in tenth position with the $18m generated eclipsed by some of boxing’s biggest names.
Mayweather is the mainstay on the list with his fight gate revenues making four appearances.
The legend fought Oscar De La Hoya and Canelo Alvarez, with the events bringing in $19m and $20m respectively.
And his two biggest events hold the top two spots against Manny Pacquiao and Conor McGregor, earning a colossal $72.52m and $55.4m for the two Las Vegas clashes.
Mayweather’s rival, Alvarez, features in third and fourth position, for both his first and second meetings against Gennady Golovkin.
The events in 2017 and 2018 brought in $27.1m and $23.5m, a showing of just how big the star power the Mexican brings to the sport.
Gervonta Davis‘ recent win over Ryan Garcia features on the list bringing in $22.8m, while the UFC Noche Sphere event earlier this year generated $22m in Las Vegas’ new iconic event.
In seventh position and rounding off the list is last year’s undisputed title clash between Terence Crawford and Errol Spence generating $21m.
Crawford himself now wants to target the new record that has been set by Paul and Tyson outside of the US and oust him from the list.
Paul was delighted with how the event went nonetheless, and is targeting bigger and better in the coming years.
He said: “People just love to hate me.
“I’m easy to hate and I intentionally say things to make people hate me.
“I play the heel, I feed into that, and that’s just what I like to do and that’s what entertainment is.

“And at the end of the day, I started as a 17-year-old in Los Angeles in the entertainment business.
“But I’ve been in this sport for four and a half years and have been so active doing every event, taking any fight possible.
“So if people want to see more or this challenge or fight this person, whatever it is, my response to them is just give him a couple more months.
“I’m going to accomplish more things in just a matter of months and I plan on doing everything in this sport that there is to be done.”
