Despite both fighters being in their 50s, they put on a great fight for the fans and fought to a draw after eight rounds. The co-main event was even more memorable, as Jake Paul knocked out former NBA star Nate Robinson in a devastating fashion. Rapper Snoop Dogg and several other hip-hop stars also contributed performances, making it a show packed with star power.<\/p>\n<p>A few days after the event was over, <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/boxing-news\/report-mike-tyson-vs-roy-jones-jr-sold-1-2-million-ppvs\/\">boxing expert Dan Rafael revealed that his sources told him the PPV sold at least 1.2 million PPVs<\/a>. It turns out that estimate was low by about 400,000 buys, as Triller, the event&#8217;s promoter, confirmed the Tyson vs. Jones Jr. event actually sold 1.6 million buys. That would make it the biggest-selling boxing PPV since the Canelo Alvarez vs. Gennady Golovkin fights, which did 1.3 million and 1.1 million, respectively. Tyson vs. Jones Jr. is also the biggest-selling combat sports PPV of 2020 now, beating out UFC 251: Kamaru Usman vs. Jorge Masvidal at 1.3 million buys.<\/p>\n<p>Triller owner Ryan Kavanaugh confirmed with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boxingscene.com\/tyson-vs-jones-exhibition-nets-16-million-ppv-buys-says-triller-owner--153820\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BoxingScene.com<\/a> that the show did 1.6 million buys and said that number could even rise as cable providers give him more data.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Despite everyone wanting for it not to work, we upset them by changing things up and making it work and dominated the conversation,&#8221; Kavanaugh said.<\/p>\n<p>According to the report, this was one of Tyson&#8217;s best-selling fights ever, essentially equalling the 1.59 million buys that he did in his first fight against Evander Holyfield in 1996. However, the 1.6 million number still trails Tyson&#8217;s best-selling fights against Lennox Lewis in 2002 (1.97 million) and the Holyfield rematch in 1997 (1.99 million).<\/p>\n<p>Did you buy the Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr. boxing PPVs?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The recent boxing card from Triller headlined by Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. sold 1.6 million PPVs, confirmed the event&#8217;s promoter.
