Comments Thread For: What Happens Now That Jake Paul Lost?

Firstly, who cares?
Even the highlights ive seen were garbage, they are definitely 6 fight novices.
The plan:
Somehow (money) if Paul won he was in line with his ranking to fight Jack who won on the undercard, in a volantary for the cruiserweight belt.... What makes anyone think that plan has changed for after the rematch?

The wbc needs to be dumped by everyone it's so corrupt.

It's sad but you're probably right. The internet and social media have completely fscked up everything I've ever been interested in. Be it boxing, skateboarding, music etc. It's all about self-promotion, branding and every other disgusting thing that is now important in our 'modern world'

Had to do a double take to see if I had posted this lol

We arent smart enough for the internet

We can all move on and talk about relevant boxing matches.

Figueroa Magsayo next weekend then Harrison Tszyu the weekend after that.

Cokeavidez vs Kale Plant on the 25th

etc. etc.

Now that you said it, I haven't seen anything about Figueroa-Magsayo for a while... Strange from boxing site

Boring. Who cares about these nobodies except a few nerds on boxing forums?

Boxing has moved on. Now it’s about events in Saudi Arabia with social media stars. Get with the times, it’s here to stay

“Real Boxing” killed itself with TV networks and promoters not working together, a dozen champs per division, the best fights not being made, overpriced subscription services etc etc. it’s over. The public trying to get into boxing can’t even get their heads around the mess that the boxing business has become

it’ll continue to die and overtaken by these standalone events in Saudi.

We might not see it so clearly at this moment in time but the next generation of pro’s that have grown up in the social media age will be plotting on raising their profile via social media to make that quick money rather than go the “traditional route”. Tommy Fury has set the standard.

the world has changed, the way to attain fame and money has shifted and that’ll consume boxing completely in the next decade. Young boxers growing up today will see a completely different route via boxing that involves social media fame and fights and it’ll become the norm. Traditional boxing industry structure will look archaic within the next 5-10 years and be phased out, it’s not profitable enough, it’s just in the past there wasn’t a bigger alternative, now there is.

There you go now! Way to back our sport of choice pal!

I’m realistic

Big name personalities and money like Middle Eastern money will take over a very fragmented sport like boxing. We haven’t seen anything yet, they haven’t even got started.

The next generation of fighters better learn how to sell themselves and cross over via social media or they will be left behind.

What happens next is his 15 minutes of fame are DONE!

[BodyBagz]

He's not ready for real boxers.
We have to get used to him fighting old bastards who aren't really boxers.

[Manic Shot]

He's fighting Nate Diaz next! He's not going anywhere.

Paul has a good chance of winning against Fury in rematch and if he doesn't he can fight KSI or another MMA fighter
