Jake Paul acknowledged that his rematch against Tyron Woodley wasn't his best business night.
DAZN reports that only 65,000 PPV purchases were made via satellite or cable.
Paul smashed that number, which doesn't include digital purchases, nonetheless.
He tweeted: "The number rumors about PPV are bulls*** First fight w Woodley, we sold 500k+.
"Numbers for this are still rolling in, but still looking positive. Not my best business evening
"But, remember.. Everyone wanted me Vs. Fury, and that's exactly what we sold."
Paul, 24 years old, was scheduled to face Fury (22 years old), this month, until Fury pulled out with a broken bone and a chest infection.

On Paul's KO List, he now joins YouTuber "AnEsonGib", ex-NBA player Nate Robinson (37), and Ben Askren (37), who is a retired UFC welterweight.
Fury's withdrawal from Fury's fight means that the social media sensation has yet to face a professional boxer.
Paul thanked Woodley, Showtime and the US network for allowing him to continue the show.
He said, "Shoutouts to Showtime for riding along me and all of the fighters on that card, and Tyron for not being an envious bitch like many of these "fighters".
