Paul Continues Historic Run, Breaks Another Major Arena Record Ahead of Saturday’s DAZN PPV Headliner
ANAHEIM, CA – June 27, 2025 – 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 the Honda Center, solidifying yet another milestone in Paul’s trailblazing combat sports journey. The bout, taking place this Saturday, June 28, will air live globally on DAZN pay-per-view from Anaheim, California.
The Honda Center — a storied Southern California venue that has hosted the likes of Canelo Álvarez vs. Matthew Hatton, Ryan Garcia vs. Francisco Fonseca, and a sold-out clash between Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal — has never seen gate numbers like this. In just his 13th professional fight, with no amateur career, Jake Paul has once again rewritten the record books.
Since making his boxing debut, Paul has shattered gate records at nearly every major U.S. venue he has fought in:
- Paul vs. Tyson (Nov 2024) set a U.S. non-Vegas record with an $18.1M gate at AT&T Stadium, doubling Texas’s previous record set by Canelo and becoming the most-streamed sporting event in history, peaking at 108M AMA and 65M+ concurrent global streams.
- Paul vs. Bourland (Mar 2024) broke the all-time gate record in Puerto Rico, surpassing the 2004 Miguel Cotto vs. Kelson Pinto milestone at Coliseo de Puerto Rico.
- Paul vs. August (Dec 2023) became the highest-grossing boxing event in Orlando’s history, topping both gate and average ticket price records.
- Paul vs. Diaz (Aug 2023) marked the highest boxing gate at Dallas’s American Airlines Center, second only to UFC 277 in overall combat sports.
- Paul vs. Silva (2022) was the highest boxing gate in Desert Diamond Arena history (Glendale, AZ), behind only UFC 263.
- Paul vs. Woodley II (2021) set the combat sports gate record at Tampa’s Amalie Arena.
- Paul vs. Woodley I (2021) became the highest boxing gate at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, Ohio.
“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 MVP co-founder Nakisa Bidarian. “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.”
With Jake Paul set to face former world champion Julio César Chávez Jr., this weekend’s fight promises to deliver more than just numbers — it’s a generational clash between boxing’s past and its disruptive future.
Jake Paul vs. Julio César Chávez Jr. goes down this Saturday, June 28, live on DAZN PPV from Honda Center in Anaheim. Tickets are still available at Ticketmaster.com.
