"In my fourth fight, I’m already selling more of a live gate than Conor McGregor did with the UFC’s promotion," he said. "I’m doing this by myself. No UFC branding, no Dana White behind me. So it’s a pretty amazing stat that I’m excited about."
Paul revealed that pre-sale numbers are on track with his brother Logan Paul and Floyd Mayweather’s June event which points towards approximately 1.7 million pay-per-view purchases.
"My goal is to be world champion," he said. "I want to take on the likes of Canelo [Alvarez] and guys like that who are at the top of this sport. I believe in myself, I believe in my ability. I’m just getting warmed up with what I can accomplish."
