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

He really needs to start fighting actual legitimate prime active boxers who are around his size and level now. The guy has had a dozen fights. No more of this shyt.

Yum, yum, word salad.

Reading that article made me think about what can be, unburdened by what has been.

It also made me wonder if Kamala's speech writer has gone back to his day job?

Yeah that sparring session really saved boxing

Saved Netflix, if no one else

Does Mike's name carry anymore clout ?
Will this show backfire on JP ?

Absolutely but it shouldn't be his decision

Plenty of active fighters who only exist to pad someone's resume.
Mike is a big boy.
Even if they throw real punches at each other and Mike is crushed, it wouldn't have been the 1st time.

He'll be ok.

I would do what Mike is doing for 5 mil.

Nobody can save boxing from corrupt judges!

"I'm not going to disrespect the sport anymore by losing to this caliber of fighter"... Tyson said those words after losing to McBride.

But I absolutely don't blame Mike. It's not his job to look after boxing's interests - he's looking after his own interests and good luck to him.

There are plenty of bodies involved here who are supposed to look after boxing. If we keep doing these freak show events then eventually something terrible is going to happen that will change the sport forever.

$$$$$
Everyone gets a cut

Mike is not complaining
He was given 20 mil reasons not to complain
