Comments Thread For: Askren: Ridicule Is Probably Deserved; Getting KO'd By Jake Paul Is 'F--king Embarrassing'

[KTFOKING]

Eventually getting KTFO by Jake Paul will become the norm and there will be no shame in getting stopped in the first few rounds. Paul is a few more KOs away from that.

He is working himself in getting a McGregor fight and that PPV legit may rival the Mayweather PPV for McGregor.

Wow...I lost betting on Askren Saturday night.....SMDH....these weak mma fighters need to leave boxers alone before one of them gets themselves killed. A takedown won't save you against a boxer who is very accurate....its time to leave these experiments alone before we're watching some poor mma schmuck take his last breaths because he "thought" he was a tough guy...smh

A big win for the biggest star in boxing. I’d like to see Paul settle into the LTHW division where I really think he can make an impact. In due time we could see something like Paul V Berlanga a mega fight of two of the best prospects in the game.

man I didn't expect his punching game to be that bad after years of ufc

Everywhere says 500k plus ppv shares so where did you get this 1 million from?. Jake got 690k plus ppv shares.

I think thats standard commission info bs. Idk why those numbers get fudged like they seem to. Thats often an issue in boxing & MMA pay info too.

Supposedly Jake got 2M/gtd instead of the 690k as well. I'd bet they both get a piece of the PPV stil doe.

In fairness Jake picked perhaps the worst guy with his hands that was an accomplished MMA guy so its not like this is a status quo middle of the road striking MMA guy let alone some higher level striking guy.

Jake ain't call out Stipe, Francis, even Kevin Holland. Or hell old Spider Silva who'd be a more legit guy than Ben by a mile to box & he's washed as fook these days. Dude called out a guy he had 20lbs on who couldn't box for sh^t & who had his hip replaced in September.

Why in the blue hell would you bet on Askren?

Did you do literally NO research?

[War Room]

well. At least he is honest.


What was his purse anyone know ?

500k+. He made 830k in his entire MMA career. He doesn't give two shets about losing to Paul. He got a career check and global fame for less than 3 minutes work.
