Comments Thread For: Is Jake Paul's window of boxing relevance closing?

[Slip jab]

The JP thing has lost its lustre because the angle is clear and predictable however I still there’s an angle he can milk that DAZN can broadcast to reinvigorate the JP show and that is to start facing ranked fighters, not only fight but also show the process of opponent selection by listing the fighter and their ranking, arrange the bout and if he wins go back to the list but higher ranking fighters. Dude this would have me following if I didn’t already and JP would have no shortage of opponents and it would gain him even more respect.

I think Jake should be commended for making a legit effort to become a fighter, talk all the sh/t you want, the man has put in the time, the work, and if you really pay attention, he is respected by other boxers, they don't mock him, they F with him, why is it? Because he is a real dude, a showman, a bit of a clown, but what he is doing, making this much money in the game, headlining shows, how many bigger American stars are there than Jake Paul? Who? Show me the numbers and prove it.

Jake is a clown whose only saving grace is he is not AS annoying as his older brother but dont get it wrong he is still annoying.


Hes boxing another cage fighter again so if that floats your boat you can tune in soon.

I never heard of this guy till he was on some boxing card. The only fight I actually watched of him was against Fury and he lost badly. But hats off because if he is making money fighting nobodies and is not getting hurt in the process, it is a win win for him. You may not like him but he knows how to advertise himself and make money.

When was the Youtube Fraud ever relevant for anything ?

[LA_2_Vegas]

I hope so. He is completely overshadowing one of the top 3 p4p boxers this weekend.

That's not his fault - most of the people watching Paul would not be tuning in for the other fight anyway. Theoretically a net increase in people watching boxing on a given night, instead of splitting the audience like when HBO and SHO would counterprogram each other (and those were the great decisions brought to us by so called boxing people, not JP).

When his time as a fighter ends, he will know his way around the sport. I do not follow this guy but I can tell he has a crazy network that can bring funds to the sport/fighters

The Jake Paul circus is soon coming to an end. Look where Jake is fighting now? A Orlando ballroom that can’t hold more than 1,500 fans and now another ballroom in Tampa that’s giving away tickets. That shows that the circus and the circus barker JP, has seen its better days. Now he wants to fight Mike who has some serious medical issues. Those videos you see of Mike sprinting 20 yards, are 3 years old. Anybody reporting that? I give Jake credit for being a fabulous snake oil salesman. But, there comes a time that people have seen enough of the gimmick. That time is now before us, Jake.

I ain’t no fan of Jake Paul but I will give him credit for making no eu fooling people
You said he’s fighting in ballrooms , right ???
Well this ballroom fits 17000
Not a bad ballroom at all
Facts speak for themselves instead of shooting bullchit
Just sayin’

It is pretty sad to think the two biggest drawing boxing matches of this month are a Youtuber vs a journeyman MMA fighter and two old journeyman MMA fighters boxing each other.
