A youtube guy pulling numbers like that would be damn impressive. Most "real" boxers don't get numbers like that nowadays. However Jakes numbers were estimated to be much higher than that, so you're just making shit up. There is a thousand legitimate things to bash him over but you pick the one thing that makes you sound stupid. Credit where it's due, Jake Paul and Nate Diaz are both popular names.
Jake Paul had some wild numbers all over, did like a million for Askren, like 500,000k for Woodley 1, and flopped like 50k or something for Woodley 2.
If you do (1,000,000 + 400,000 + 50,000)/3, it's like 480k, so I guess it is more.
Also why would it shock you a youtuber pulls in numbers like that?
I bet if you get some movie stars to fight, they'd do millions, and if you get some tech executives to fight (Elon and Zucker), it could hit tens of millions if not more.
Popularity matters much more in prize fighting than whether or not someone is actually a fighter.
