More than $3 million was raised from the sale of 19,000 tickets to the Saturday event in Dallas, which culminated in a duel between Jake Paul (7-1, 4 KOs) and former UFC star Nate Diaz (0-1). This is the second highest result in the history of martial arts competitions organized at the American Airlines Arena.

The event was shown in the United States on pay-per-view, but sales figures have yet to be announced. Both fighters are expected to earn over $10 million for their performance.

According to Forbes magazine, 26-year-old Paul is the third highest paid boxer in the world. The American is only ahead of Saul Alvarez and Tyson Fury. According to unofficial information, Paul's February fight with Tommy Fury was supposed to generate more than 800,000 PPV sales.
