Why hasn’t McGregor hopped on this payday

Better than a retired UFC fighter though. Jake Paul tried to step it up. And no body expects Jake Paul to go against world class boxers. He started boxing like, last year.

Well, we all got different expectations. He’s making money picking off small mennon boxers or inexperienced boxers.

The kid just seems to have some weird obsessive issue with MMA, or more specifically the UFC and Dana. Its like he'd wants to be involved with MMA really, but the UFC isnt going to roll out the red carpet for him and he wouldnt be able to beat MMA fighters at their own game. So his compromise is boxing MMA fighters, so he can be competitive or win, and get bragging rights over "beating" guys who would otherwise kick his ass if they werent literally contractually obligated to not fight at their full ability against him. There are a lot of boxing fans who just feel they need to be anti-MMA by default, so they go along with this ridiculous shyt regardless, but if some ****ing Jonas brother trained jiu jitsu for a few years and then started tapping out smaller 40 year old boxers in MMA fights they would be ****ing livid, and rightfully so.

Paul hates White because he sees White as an exploiter. Kid is smarter than he looks lol. So if your Paul you realize Dana has built up a house of cards. These UFC guys cannot throw hands well enough to beat a content provider who started fighting 3 years ago. Wanna know a little secret? Ir was harder for Paul to actually learn how to box, properly, invest the time in perfecting the delivery of a shots, than learn MMA and fight these guys in the Octogan.

For the same reason Usman, Masvidal, Diaz can't...UFC retains all rights to their roster until such time of the fighter's release from the UFC. White allowed McGregor to fight Floyd because UFC had a part of the promotion, and McGregor had a $30 million guarantee, with McGregor reportedly earning $130 million. Jake Paul is just calling out guys who he knows can't take him up to look brave and get threads like this made on social media.

You've said some utterly surreal **** recently but this takes the cake.

Well its a bit tongue in cheek, but I believe that he could have done much better per his training applying it to MMA instead of boxing... Is that better? lol.

Hes not going to be competing with known MMA names under MMA rules after 3 years of training, nor known boxers in boxing. Hes figured out that fighting hand picked MMA fighters in boxing after 3 years of boxing training is possible though. Hes found his niche.

My only point here is that he would have gone further, taken his talents further, imo if he had chosen MMA instead of boxing. I agree with Chollo and don't disagree with what you said...no way would he ever fights at the top, or in a division with a lot of talent, but if he found a weight class where he kept his strength, fought enough times and applied himself? I think he could make more strides than as a boxer.

Why does he call out much smaller opponents? Is there a reason for that? It is one of the oldest coward moves in the coward's playbook. Does anybody know the logic? Is he trying to antagonize the purists on purpose? Even Tommy Fury is a naturally much smaller man. Tommy is 2-3 inches shorter and could probably make Middleweight if he wasn't carrying so much muscle on his upper frame. Jake Paul's dream opponents seem to be Conor McGregor or Canelo Alvarez, also naturally much smaller men. These are the reasons Jake Paul has never appealed to me. Hell, I'd rather see him fight a shot Cruiserweight or Heavyweight over some prime midget. Call out someone like Roy Jones Jr. or David Haye. Imagine Paul stopping an ancient RJJ? That would trigger so many people. In MMA there are names like Chuck Liddell or Anderson Silva. Same as with RJJ, seeing Paul toy with a legend like Liddell before KOing him would get more heat than fighting any prime midgets.
