[BoxingUpdates]

The numbers don't like and Jake Paul's eight-rounder with Mike Tyson was a financial juggernaut.

Are we really shocked by the outcome? We know that Paul cherry picks on a larger scale than Canelo. Paul picked someone he could beat. Let's see him get in the ring with let's say, an Andre Ward.

I expected to see the Tyson who showed up.

As long as Paul has a great undercard on Netflix, I'll tune in.....and will watch the main event involving whoever he faces. Of course I'll be rooting for his opponent.

I am no fan of exhibition fights or spectacles like this but let’s be fair - can you name the guy Canelo fought in his 10th fight? Or perhaps Oscar, Floyd, Lennox, or Andre Ward’s 10th opponent? Were they world class level fighters when these ATG guys fought them?

Paul is doing EXACTLY the same thing all the ATGs did. He just happens to be Uber famous and rich at this point in his career.

Great point.

I guess I do not like the double standard in him being Uber famous and rich so early in his boxing career...

I cannot believe those commentating idiots before the fight started were actually building up this up with all the hoopla and dramatics, the whole event felt like a 2-bit whore with commentators trying to sell BS. I lost respect for Andre Ward. I never would have thought he would ever do anything like this.

Everybody you named were fighting pro boxers in their 10th fight. Guys with amateur and olympic backgrounds before they turned pro. Not mma guys with no experience and basketball celebrities and 60 year olds.

Jake paul would need to fight the 20th ranked guy in his weight class. Like canelo and floyd and lennox were fighting in their 10th fights for your logic to make sense.

jake has fought 1 pro boxer that wasn't 60. That's Tommy fury and he loss. How ironic

None of those guys you mentioned built their early records with washed up UFC fighters, youtubers, and 58 year old men. Jake wants to be recognized as a legitimate boxer that's why he looks down his nose at youtubers boxing, but out of Jake's 12 fights he's only faced 3 active boxers and I use the word 'active' lightly. If you're fine with Jake Paul fighting a 58 year old Mike Tyson you should also be fine with someone like Richard Torres jr or Bakhodir Jalolov fighting Tyson, those two are similar in age to Paul with about the same number of fights.

To all of these Canelo haters and ignorant comments. Canelo doesn’t need a Fake Paul to make $$! Paul is an ilusión of a mirror lying to him, saying he is a boxer! The guy is fat and out of shape! Who else would have had been gasping for air vs a 58 year old man, who can’t even move? Do you m0r0ns think he will get in shape and go down to 170 to fight Canelo? It’s not Fake’s fault it’s all the idiots that paid to see this spectacle who are at fault. He broke a record of audiences in USA, BS another fake sport broke that record WWE Wrestlemania 3 97 thousand people. Do you see where I’m going with this? WWE atmosphere! Wake up casual fans, a real fight fan doesn’t fall for this shared! I’m glad Mike made money from this, and the undercard wasn’t that great either!

I can't stand Jake Paul. He is a fraud and should not be allowed to box, let alone box fake guys or retired boxers. His attitude doesn't help much either. I know Jake Paul is a person of today's times, a YouTuber, fake, all about the money and an a$$hole. Seeing Tyson out there broke my heart. I couldn't bare to watch the whole fight. Tyson should stick to doing his podcasts, finding a fighter to train from the ground up and enjoying his family. The plus side on all of this is that Tyson didn't get hurt and made $20 million dollars in the process.
