    Tyson, Chavez and Woodley all for large portions of the fight just stood there and literally stared at Jake without even throwing. Its a continuing trend for jake paul that either his opponents are so memorized by his skills that they are afraid to throw or they have arrangements made to not throw. Its also blatantly obvious that in return Jake carried tyson.


    I also dont get why you think that any agreements like the above would be written on paper or in an NDA. Do you think all the fights the mafia fixed they admitted to it on paper in writing? lmfao
    1. I wouldn’t take a passing comment from Logan Paul to Floyd Mayweather such as, “Take it easy, champ! It’s just an exhibition.” as a building block for corruption or fixing fights. We don’t need to put quotation marks around the word for that event, because it was officially a non-sanctioned bout. Miami wouldn’t sanction it by any organization, which is why there weren’t any judges for that fight. It was, through and through, an exhibition. A glorified exhibition of the highest order. Legal fleecing. Mayweather was never a puncher above 140…and he was fighting a guy who, despite being inexperienced and awkward, was able to tough it out by compensating by his natural athleticism. You’d have a better argument for illegality if you pointed to all the controversies surrounding Logan Paul’s shady NFT business…but we’re discussing Jake Paul, not Logan.

    2. Tyson just stood there without punching…? Please don’t tell me you legitimately thought Tyson had any sort of shot to defeat Paul…? This isn’t anime where the old man can suddenly gather his years of experience and will his physically inactive, shroom and marijuana-addled, nearly 60 year old body into being competitive against a guy who, despise not being world-class, is decent enough to take a punch and punch back. He didn’t need to sign any sort of NDA. Paul is a decent enough puncher that Tyson wasn’t going to pull on the draw. Whether Paul or not carried him, that’s irrelevant. Paul would’ve drawn much more ire than he already has if he had seriously hurt a senior citizen…moreover, what horrible press his brand would’ve gotten and negative publicity he and even the Texas athletic commission would’ve been saddled with in a worst case scenario. There’s nothing illegal about a fighter “taking it easy” on another. That’s like saying “Canelo carried Munguia”, “Floyd carried Berto”, “Pacquiao carried Margarito”. Who cares? One is toughing it out, the other one is resting from whooping ass. What’s your point? Honestly.

    3. NDA’s being in explicit language of being “fixed”. Okay, I over-reached. I’m trying to make a point about the whole NDA thing.

    For the record, do you believe Paul has fixed his fights? If he has, I’ll eat my words. I’m a stand-up guy. I just think you simply have to jump through too many hoops to pull this off repeatedly…and if it turned that it was, I wouldn’t even be mad. I’d be more impressed by the way he was able to pull it off while simultaneously completely shocked by how many lack of checks and balances there were in the whole boxing pipeline.

      Heck if haymon an "advisor" can put it in his contract that his fighters cant bad mouth him in his slave contract or he'll take legal action then im sure nda's of the sort exist.


      Look at pro wrestling with vinc mcmahon and that one girl. She was happy to sign that nda and send pics and videos so long as the money kept coming
      Wasn’t that NDA tied technically to a settlement? You settle, and you get gagged on the flip side. If I’m wrong, I’m wrong.

      It’s plausible, but I just think there is a long perilous trail of paper that’ll sooner or later bite you in the ass the longer you keep this up (if it’s true).

      Chavez did what he does frequently. Keep your hands in your pockets and then let them go in the very final rounds…

        Zurdo was a disgrace on Saturday, a world champion who looks like he didn't train 2 weeks and looked like it physically as well as in his performance. That whole motley crew from Brickhouse are a F'n joke...

          I only saw a bit of the Ramirez fight, but it seems the consensus is he didn't look sharp, compared to how he was against Billam-Smith.

            I cannot be alone in believing that Zurdo wants Jake Paul so he doesn’t have to Fight Jai?! Ok let’s say hypothetically he does fight and beat Jake Paul, the money he earns from it will make him baulk at any offer to fight Jai and he will either Vacate or try badou jack. Something tells me Jake fancies the Badou fight much more than the zurdo fight.

            it’s hilarious listening to Jake talk about how he’s just warming up and how he’s self made man in boxing lmao!! Lastly, does Jake not remember running away from a couple guys who are much smaller in height and weight to canelo outside a basketball game? He bolted quicker than when he ran from Floyd mere months before that episode! But yet if he sees canelo he will eat his heart because he’s “only 5’8” I will say this though, today’s version of Jake Paul defeats Tommy fury if they were to fight each other next!

              I…that’s a huge reach. Fixing fights (especially of that magnitude) would be a FEDERAL offense. Federal.

              Never mind the wave of litany that would befall Jake and MVP, I would have to go into hiding hearing the non-stop news coverage of how finally “boxing is corrupt”. Talk about egg on your face.

              Can you imagine putting that into a contract?

              “Fighter B agrees to not throw more than X amount of punches before the end of the 8th round?”

              And an NDA to boot…?

              You can’t have an NDA if the act or circumstances imply something illegal going on.

              We can’t pretend that Chavez all of a sudden was a monster back in his day. He never was. Those that were hanging their hopes on him (such as me) were simply overestimating his experience and thinking he’d have a bag of tricks ready for fight night.

              Chavez rolled the dice and it came up snake eyes.
              Yeah it winds me up to no end – the reality is, Jake Paul is a little better than everyone thinks, and his opponents are a lot worse than everyone thinks. There's light heavyweight journeymen who would've stopped Mike Tyson that night (I mean he was getting stopped by journeymen back in his so-called prime decades ago).

              And Chavez Jr is an active addict, who has not trained seriously for a long time and was only ever good at 160 lbs.

                That says a lot about what he’s really all about

                Speaking of a title shot, Paul said, “That’s the goal, the only thing I haven’t accomplished after knockout of the year [versus Tyron Woodley] and most-watched fight in history [versus Mike Tyson]. I neutralize my opponents with my footwork, movement and feints, and they can’t get past my jab.”

                This ^^^^^^^^ almost made me vomit
                Paul knows the minute he faces an ACTIVE fighter , chalk up another L
                There is absolutely NO WAY that Jake Paul is going to fight Zurdo. He is just doing what he does best - promoting, keeping his name up in the conversations, staying relevant on social media. He has no intentions of fighting Zurdo. He lost to the only ACTIVE boxer he ever faced in Tommy Fury and Zurdo is levels above Tommy Fury so a fight like that makes no sense for Jake Paul. Jake Paul is just talking BS and fans are gobbling it up. He will continue to make zillions no matter whom he fights, but he will definitely not fight a currently active world champion at the peak of his powers. Maybe he will fight Badou Jack in a year or two - he is 41 now, so at 42 or 43 it could possibly make sense.

                  Chavez Jr was never good, not even at 160, his Father pulled strings with the WBC and handed him that belt on a silver platter.

                    Andy Lee was a great win to be fair, and he had Maravilla on Bambi legs (despite being thoroughly outclassed) – but both can be attributed to the way he was able to drain down as a big boy. As soon as he left 160 he had no advantages.

                      The fact he’s getting ranked after fighting a non active fighter who has done nothing in years is a disgrace to the sport
                      I get what you’re saying but he will rinse and repeat meaning he lost to Fury , fought some more inactive fighters or Wtv and now he’s getting ranked
                      Fight Zurdo or whoever and then back to cans etc etc
                      Keep the farce going
