    All I see is a sparring partner who is going to take a crazy weight cut, walk around with ring with his guards down and take one for the gipper. the money for the dive will probably eclipse his career earnings.
    I thought about this too, but if Paul got caught paying someone off, he would be toast. I think it's too risky to try a fix.

    Why what??

    100% disagree. Rahman is terribler!

      If Paul can stop a 12-1 HW, I think it looks pretty good for his resume.
      • Tank fought a 5-8 fighter at 6 fights.
      • Wilder fought a 1-2-2 at 6 fights.
      • Crawford fought a 9-10-1 at 6 fights.
      • Spence fought a 4-4-1 at 6 fights.
      • Canelo fought a 2-2 at 6 fights.


      I don't understand anything you said and how it relates to the topic.

          Did Boots try to sell that fight as a PPV? That's my problem with the Jake Paul clown show. If you're gonna charge people money then fight a warm body, not some bum taking the fight on short notice.

            Jake will win by KO, Rahman has no defence

              How could he sell a ppv? He's not a PPV star and nobody knows who he is. 29 wins in the HOTTEST division and hardly a recognizable name on his record, why is that though?

              I watch boxing and I barely know who he is. Jake Paul is the #2 content creator, global, with 20M subscribers on a single channel.

                  I can't think of too many HWs who had more success after dropping down to CW however.
                  - - Junior getting Little Tommy $$$ which is more than he's made in his going nowhere fast career.

                    Jake has no real offence, his arms will get all mushy. Fighting a boxer is is different than fighting a MMA guy. Don't know about the weightcut but If Rahman is in reasonable condition I think it is going to be a very difficult fight for Paul. Although who knows if the fight is fixed or not. I do support Paul's run in boxing, it takes guts to try that at that age.

                      Rahman coming to DIVE for the biggest Paycheck of his. career EVER and so that Jake Paul can run around and say "I Beat A Pro Boxer" after Paul "Beats Him"
