Not sure if it has been posted yet but this is too funny not to share. Has Masvidal even sniffed at least $1mill guarantee in the UFC? Let alone, PPV upside? His highest guarantee has been $800k. How is $5mill chump change?
Jake Paul:
"Masvidal, I got an offer for you right now. Five million guarantee, plus percentage of pay-per-views, so that's the most you would have ever made as a fighter. Ever. So now you can't say 'I either fight the best people or I fight for money.' Five million dollar guarantee, plus pay-per-view. Let's make it happen. That's the most you would have ever have gotten paid. Period. Times Triple.”
Masvidal said he would do it for $20mill lol. Talk about pricing yourself out. He is likely not so sure anymore that he can beat the youtuber in a boxing match.

Yeah they will stop Clen but it does point out how bad their stand up is which raises the question to what would happen if Clen would practice wrestling and takedown defense etc for 2 years, what will happen then ? It is really astonishing how bummy these UFC fighters are in stand up when they are getting KTFO'd by youtubers.
I wouldnt say bad at "stand up" because that incorporates a lot more than just boxing, there are some very good dynamic strikers in MMA. But the best boxing based strikers in MMA are journeyman level in actual boxing terms imo, which is to be expected. Jake is not a great boxer but he has been training boxing EXCLUSIVELY for like 3 years now, and because of his name and money hes able to get access to good coaching, facilities and sparring partners. Add to that that hes clearly a decent athlete, probably juiced up, and gets to hand pick who he wants to fight, and it isnt all that surprising that he can pull this off in a boxing match. Its all very calculated and strategic though. Hes not fighting MMA guys in MMA or boxers in boxing for a reason.
As for Canelo with 2 years of wrestling, he'd do well obviously assuming he actually picked it up properly, but there are BJJ black belts, Div 1 wrestlers and occasional olympic wrestlers and ADCC champions in MMA, you cant just assume you'll be able to deal with that because you dedicate 2 years to it. Same as you cant mold someone into an elite pro boxer just because they worked hard for 2 years. Canelo would presumably be fighting at 170 as well, that division has Usman, Colby, Khamzat and Burns in it ie 3 very high level wrestlers + one of the better BJJ guys ever to enter MMA.
Those MMA guys Jake is knocking out would likely stop Canelo in the first round in an MMA fight. These crossover fights pretty much come across like a calculated set up to make MMA/the UFC look bad tbh, especially when you take into account that Jake Paul has a massive grudge with Dana for some reason. If they're so trash why not fight them in MMA? its not like MMA rules ban anything from boxing the way boxing bans most MMA techniques.

sounds more like a man who needs some help to buy himself out of his UFC Deal lol yeah good luck with that Jorge
bottom line when you sign with the UFC you give them EVERYTHING
So what ? Those guys are training whole their lives and are professional fighters. Jake is a bum that knocks them all out. That says something about the state of the UFC ...

the funniest thin about the paul con is that he always fights guys that are much smaller than him. paul fights at 190 pounds. masvidal at 170 pounds. then to top it off the guys he fights are always old and shop worn. masvidal lost his last 2 fights...time to fight him! askren 170 pounds...lost his last 2 fights. woodley 170 pounds lost his last 4 fights...paul is doing some kind of avant-garde floyd cherry picking across different sports. it really is beatuiful in a way. people are so hypnotized by all the production and pomp and circumstance that the facts of the matter arent being discussed at all. paul even called out conor mgregor who is completely shot. the average joe idiot trump voter knows the name conor and thinks hes bad ass but the educated man knows conor has won 1 mma ight in 5 years and weighs 155 pounds but paul isnt trying to get the educated man to buy his fights. he knows the tipping point has arrived and there are just as many dummies that will buy as opposed to smart people.

They clearly don’t care about weight or about challenges. You guys can’t just apply this “be a warrior and fight the best” thing to anyone who steps in a boxing ring. His and his brother are clearly looking for events only. If they cared to fight someone their own size, they would not have fought Floyd Mayweather Jr and Nate Robinson.
You guys are taking these youtube/celebs/athletes boxing matches way too seriously.
They do not care about being “frauds” or conning the public. It’s clear as day. I don’t even know why you would waste any time complaining about their opposition. They are not here to become ATG boxers or land on The Ring top 10 P4P list. I mean that’s clear as day.
It’s like telling Karl Malone to go wrestle the best wrestlers WCW has to offer and wrestle guys his size. He was a damn NBA player looking for a payday in one of the most highly popular wrestling companies of the 1990s.
Maybe we should urge The Rock to start making Oscar-worthy movies?
As a matter of fact, Manny Pacquiao loves basketball? He needs to show me how good he really is by playing Giannis Antetokounmpo in a 1 on 1 on the court. And winning.

I'm not so sure that Jake Paul is cutting weight though, so those guys he fights who were 170lbers are actually about the same weight.
You forgot Wilder @hotmail email 50 million dollar offer accept now or no contract.
thats true. 50 million is more than 100 million according to wilder math
its different because then joshua offered him 100 million and wilder said MIND BOBBLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHERE IS FAT DRUGGED UP FURY!

How is that any diff from deontay wilder when aj offered him 12.5m and then 20m? All al haynon was paying him was 1m and then allegedly 2m vs ortiz despite a 5m offer for whyte.

Jake Paul calls out Nate Diaz & Jorge Masvidal knowing full well they cannot fight him. It's like the guy who picks a fight and tells his friends to "hold me back".
Lol hes shook. He'd definitely be the best pure boxer of the MMA guys Jake has fought but tbh after seeing Jake sleep Woodley like that i'm not convinced Jorge would be guaranteed to win, plus hes 37 and coming off of a bad KO loss himself. Hes already had a rough fall from grace compared to where he was 2 years ago and if he lost this fight too he'd never live it down.
The majority of MMA fighters are so used to striking with weak punches due to lack of protection. They get so used to those weak punching techniques, that if they get in the ring to box, even with a full 8 week training camp, they are already to set on their ways of punching.
Very rarely, I see MMA fighters consistently throwing real meaningful punches. Usman, Covington, Jon Jones to name a few.
To be fair, it’s MMA, some fighters don’t need to be great strikers because they are so good at other things like take downs and good submissions skills.
Jake Paul is really exposing MMA as a sport that largely disregards good effective punches (they have no choice due to glove size). When a youtube celeb who is just boxing for fun and is no where near elite, can KO you, a combat sport pro, that is pretty bad. Like look at what Holly Holm did to Ronda Rousey. Stepped back, punched Rousey from long range with ease, thwarted her take down attempts and absolutely schooled and destroyed her in her own sport. Holly Holm showed that a dedicated boxer can find more success in MMA than a dedicated MMA fighter could find in pro boxing.
