Jake Paul might be the biggest star in boxing

[Mr Giggles]

I have no doubt this PPV was the most bought this year, Jake becoming the face of boxing which is an embarrassing thing to say, who is buying his PPVs

[Apollo7]

He's not very good. He's fighting opponents who are not very good. I don't think we need to be supporting this kind of thing.

This Jake shyt is in its own bubble separate from actual boxing.

[moochi]

Jake is not the problem, the problem is boxing. He saw how others could create their own bubbles and rob other fighters in broad daylight (e.g. Canelo with GGG ) and nobody would care, as it's all about the bubble.

[Johnny Rubber]

Boxing has only 2 genuine ppv stars left Canelo and Jake so how does it help boxing to lose one when the other is coming up to the end of his career?

Firstly, ppv numbers are not regarded as part of a fighters skill set, they are part of a promoters marketing skill set.. Secondly. Fighting washed up mma fighters does nothing for boxing's reputation as a sport with integrity.

[ShoulderRoll]

He has a huge social media presence and that’s who is buying his PPVs. It speaks to good marketing not to his actual boxing skill level.

Lol this thread is dumb, and there's not a gay bone in my body, but Paul is 6'1 and ripped, if he's average then every other guy must look like sly from the goonies

Hes average in that any guy of reasonable build who went through the training and traineers, had the money to do so, would be able to have similar results.

[Wonderboy]

He sells a ton of PPVs and has knocked out like 5 UFC champions.

He knocked out 1 UFC Champ. And that champ was a wrestler.
