Comments Thread For: Jake Paul: Conor McGregor Needs To Sober Up, Get Back In F------ Gym; Then We Can Fight

[Szef]

To casual eyes it makes boxing look like a dying sport scraping the absolute bottom of the barrel for relevance. Granted its not entirely the Pauls fault because it started with Floyd/Conor. But we are at an unprecedented stage now where a lot of the highest profile fights in boxing dont even involve boxers anymore. Its a bad look.

No, LOL.

It is making MMA and its champions look bad to casual eyes

It is making Boxing look bad in the eyes of hardcore fans, but we are one of the main reasons why boxing is the state it is in so fck us

Why do they need to go away exactly? What harm are they doing to boxing?

Have you heard the saying "you don't play boxing" the sport is much different than playing a sport like basketball, tennis, baseball and so on... I'm just not into listening and watching 2 immature brothers talk & fight like clowns pretending to be something they're not and will not be, it's very annoying imo.... if you enjoy it, good for you, no harm done, keep paying, cheering for clown shows... you probably like the WWE also..

Connor might only want to fight name, proven fighters.
but lines are blurred now, non fighters are doing ok.

Jake Paul is definitely not playing boxing.

He has dedicated the last three years of his life to boxing, takes it seriously, trains hard in pro gyms with pro fighters, he doesn't blow up beetwen fights. He respects the sport.

He's more professional than clowns like Broner or Tank. He's much less talented obviously and his ceiling is much lower, but he's more dedicated than them.

Not really. They can look up Woodleys record and see that he was cut from the UFC after losing 4 fights in a row, or that Askren was KO'd in 5 seconds in the UFC, and they will wonder why the Pauls arent going to MMA instead. Logan Paul just before the Floyd fight openly said "MMA is harder" when he was asked why they dont, and Jake admitted he'd get wrecked in MMA. A lot of the reason Jake fights UFC guys is because hes obviously an MMA fan more than a boxing fan really, he wants the MMA world to pay attention to him and knows that he will do better numbers bringing the MMA fanbase in. These matches are half catered to MMA fans, and they're some of the biggest boxing matches nowadays. It makes boxing look dead as **** while the UFC is just doing its thing and pulling big numbers consistently.

I guess you're still in denial.

All a regular joe will remember from last night was that youtube star beat another MMA champion

LOL at them looking up anything. They are called casuals for a reason

And in practical terms it will mean **** all. The UFC will still be kicking boxings ass, only now boxings credibility as a serious sport is down the ****ing toilet and the only time casuals hear about it is when Jake Paul fights another MMA guy.

Who the hell are you trying to convince? yourself?

UFC might be doing better than boxing at the moment, sure, but when a big boxing fight comes around the world will stop and watch as it always does when a big boxing fight is on.

Now compare that to UFC. the only fight of that magnitude in the entire history of MMA was Khabib/McGregor

Meanwhile boxing has a fight like that every few years

Joshua/Fury is next year. Biggest fight in combat sports since Floyd/Pac.

MMA has the little brother syndrome. They have to keep proving their worth. People think its cute.

Boxing doesn't have to prove anything to anyone.

Boxing ALWAYS bounces back.

Enjoy your 15 minutes. Because that's all what is happening in terms of popularity of both sports at the moment is.

[Szef]

That's not the point anyway.

The point is a YouTube star is disposing of ex MMA champs like they're toilet paper

Joke of a sport

[YoungManRumble]

Shouldn't he let his busted ass leg heal up too?
