Canelo is nearing the end and as much as I like Bud and Inoue for their generational talent neither has or maybe ever will break through to the mainstream. Meanwhile we have a pre made star that needs to be matched carefully and stay active to spotlight the sport. People might not like Jake but he guarantees a few hundred thousand ppvs for fighting nobodies just imagine if he’s built up in 2-3 years he will be pulling in over 1 mil ppvs consistently. He’s already broken 1.5 mil and had over 500k ppvs 3 times. He’s the star the sport in the modern era needs to back.
Lol this thread is dumb, and there's not a gay bone in my body, but Paul is 6'1 and ripped, if he's average then every other guy must look like sly from the goonies
Hes average in that any guy of reasonable build who went through the training and traineers, had the money to do so, would be able to have similar results.
Boxing has only 2 genuine ppv stars left Canelo and Jake so how does it help boxing to lose one when the other is coming up to the end of his career?
Firstly, ppv numbers are not regarded as part of a fighters skill set, they are part of a promoters marketing skill set.. Secondly. Fighting washed up mma fighters does nothing for boxing's reputation as a sport with integrity.
Jake is not the problem, the problem is boxing. He saw how others could create their own bubbles and rob other fighters in broad daylight (e.g. Canelo with GGG ) and nobody would care, as it's all about the bubble.
Paul as a person is an average looking, probably average intellect, as my lovely wife put it when seeing him "the kind of guy you avoid in High School" lol. BUT he has laid down a proper blue print for how fighters can be successful and get rid of the sychophantic middle men promoters. Self promotion through social media is the way... I respect him tremendously for his efforts. He also tends to promote some fighters who need it like Nunnes as much as I hate women's boxing lol.
Fighters may not like him, he may not have the presence of a guy like Diaz, but he has laid down the way fighters should manage their careers. The sooner fighters realize this and kick cheap no fight biatches like Arum to the curb the better.

Jake has showed the world how to be a boxing star without ever facing a boxer. Pure genius.
Its not genius its the way this fake world is, try his BS 30 years ago, and it would fail, BS and phony rules today and all it does is create more of the same. the masses are sheep.
Obama would do big numbers :lol1:
I'm not picky. Biden, Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton, Jimmy Carter on his death bed. They can all catch an overhand right.
I think he could beat some light heavyweight or cruiserwieght boxers. I'd like to see him fight some more actual boxers. He showed he belongs in the ring with real boxers against Tommy Fury.
He lost with the first boxer he has been in with which shows he don't belong, Jake is not a good boxer that's why he doesn't fight them, its all selling plastic fluff to people that don't know what they are looking at and the ones that do know he is not a good boxer they just going to the movies.
Lol, I like the entertainment value of it all. I'm a WWE fan too so just love a good villain.
This tells it all fake is good for you, real boxing is a different thing all together Jake would get killed and back to youtube if he fought real boxers, that's why he picks smaller washed guys its all smoke and mirrors designed for WWE fans because they buy BS.
Tommy Fury is a very good boxer and Jake Paul nearly beat him. Not only that, but Jake has only had a few boxing matches. He will likely be world champ one day.
A very good boxer lol, you have just started watching you have no idea sorry.
Jake Paul is an internet star, not a boxing star, and will never be a boxing star or a boxer. He has a carry-over fan base of internet kids who know nothing about boxing. He has only fought one low level boxer, and lost. Hopefully he will lose tonight because he’s probably going to give up boxing if he does.
He really knocks the heck out of these UFC champions, though. It's pretty impressive.
In a boxing ring when they washed, he tried to fight a real boxer and lost then quickly finds another name retiree that's shot to sht and smaller, its all plastic you must be very young to be impressed with such paper mache.
I think he is for sure.
He sells a ton of PPVs and has knocked out like 5 UFC champions. His events are fun and he always scores a big KO
So youre easily impressed, he fought one low-rent boxer and lost. he is a product of the plastic world where BS sells to the social media gang Jake is a poodle fighting geriatric pit bulls with no teeth, real fighters would blow him another ass hole.
