Comments Thread For: Is Jake Paul the man to save boxing?

[FlatLine]

He's no savior of the sport, that's nonsense talk. But some of his fans might become regular boxing fans for life. We all started somewhere. Even if it's 2% of his fans, then overall Jake's contribution is a positive thing for the sport. Just like any other boxer who brings new fans in to watch.

Hell naw! he's taking advantage of a piss poor system and gullible ass people.

nope. he’s a show clown. he’s got a long way to go before i take him serious. fighting a 60 yr old?? that sets jake paul back. that’s not serious boxing.

****** ass question NO, Jakie boy wont save boxing simply cause the sport doesnt need to be saved.

hes not saving boxing but hes not doing any harm to it either..., not as if there are a bunch of great match ups that his fights are taking attention away from, i'd rather watch paul v tyson than boots fighting some bum

It's a new euthanasia government policy now that pensions are unaffordable

Modern-day clown.

Boxing doesn't need to be saved, except from people trying to kill it. That's where Paul fits in.

I figure a 58 year old getting seriously damaged in the ring should do it. The Holyfield fight was absolutely disgusting. I just hope tomorrow's event is as fake as I expect otherwise it could put boxing in a terrible place.

No contact sport should be sanctioning the involvement of pensioners. It's sickening.

Boxing is doing very well in Japan, the UK, Mexico - Americentric viewpoint

I dont think its really doing all that bad in the US either. Last year Tank/Ryan, Canelo/Charlo and Spence/Crawford all did big numbers. The sport doesnt need "saving" in the first place.
