Given that the event was a chart-topper, Jake still has a lot to be happy about financially even though he lost the match.

In his podcast earlier last week, “The Problem Child” projected rough sales of around 500,000, calling it potentially the biggest PPV boxing event of the year and expressing his desire to use the rematch provision in his contract.
