Jake Paul vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. beats Canelo and Ryan Garcia attendance record
Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) today announced that Jake Paul vs. Julio César Chávez Jr. has officially set the biggest boxing gate in the history of Honda Center, one of Southern California’s most iconic combat sports venues. The blockbuster event surpasses previous Honda Center headliners, including Canelo Álvarez (37th professional fight) vs. Matthew Hatton for the WBC super welterweight championship, Ryan Garcia (20th professional fight) vs. Francisco Fonseca, and the recent sold-out Nate Diaz vs. Jorge Masvidal. In just his 13th professional bout and with no amateur career, Paul has broken boxing records at every major U.S. arena he’s fought in.
Since headlining his first fight, Jake Paul has broken records at every arena in the United States he has fought at. Most recently, Paul vs. Tyson in November 2024 achieved a gate of $18,117,072 with an average ticket price of $304, shattering AT&T Stadium’s former record and doubling Texas’s previous combat sports gate record of $9 million set by Canelo Álvarez, and marking the highest combat sports gate in US history outside of Las Vegas. Paul vs. Tyson also became the most-streamed sporting event in history with an AMA of 108M and 65M+ concurrent streams globally, including over 64M AMA in the US.
Paul vs. Bourland (initially scheduled as the co-main event of Serrano vs. Meinke) was the highest recorded gate for a boxing event in Puerto Rico history in March 2024. The Coliseo de Puerto Rico’s first-ever event, Miguel Cotto vs. Kelson Pinto in September 2004, previously held the record in Puerto Rico for nearly 20 years.
Paul vs. August in Orlando, Florida, achieved the highest recorded gate and highest average ticket price for a boxing event in Orlando’s history in December 2023. Paul vs. August surpassed the previous record set by Miguel Cotto vs. Delvin Rodriguez. Paul's bout also achieved the highest average ticket price ever recorded in the city's boxing history.
Jake’s record-setting appearance in Dallas, Texas for Paul vs. Diaz in August 2023 was the highest boxing gate and second biggest combat sports gate ever at the American Airlines Center. Paul vs. Diaz trails behind UFC 277, which holds the record for the highest-grossing combat sports gate and "highest-grossing single-night event" in American Airlines Center history.
Previously, Paul vs. Silva broke a record for the highest boxing gate at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona, trailing only UFC 263 for the highest-grossing combat sports event in arena history.
Paul vs. Woodley II set the record for the highest combat sports gate at Amalie Arena in Tampa and Paul vs. Woodley I was the highest boxing gate ever at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland, Ohio trailing only UFC 203, which was the highest combat sports gate in arena history.
“Breaking the all-time boxing gate record at Honda Center is another milestone in Jake Paul’s unprecedented run as a headliner and further proof that he is one of the most valuable draws in combat sports,” said Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder of Most Valuable Promotions. “ This venue has seen headliners like Canelo Álvarez, Ryan Garcia Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal—fighters with deep amateur pedigrees and years of professional experience. Now, in just his 13th pro fight with no amateur background, Jake is not only headlining but generating three to four times the ticket revenue of past marquee events. He’s not just breaking records, he’s changing the business of boxing.”
