Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua vs. Jake Paul: How much money is enough?

[BoxingUpdates]

Jake Paul deserves credit for what he's accomplished in boxing, but Eric Raskin says a potential fight with Anthony Joshua is too dangerous for Paul and too embarrassing for Joshua.

Fight Paul and make the money

Would be a nice payday for Joshua, who has few other lucrative options.
And the end of Jake Paul, unless he pays off Joshua for a draw.

The same articles were written when Ali fought the sumo wrestler - just make the money if fools are prepared to give it to you - as for Paul's health - write something into the contract - if Joshua signs it thats on him - then back to above - just take the money. If he doesn't write something into the contract we are into that hypothetical scenario where each one of us has stated - "I'd take a million to get knocked out by XYZ knockout artist" - except in Paul's case it'd be 50 million or more.

This article forced me to make a decision I did not want to make. Not about a potential "fight" between Paul and Joshua. No, that is something I would laugh it off at my local pub if I did not actually like boxing and am revolted by it being a thing that may happen. No, simply put Eric Raskin summed up the ******ity well, the downside to the carnival coming to town. It would be a farce. Sure, they both would laugh all the way to the bank, but boxing becomes a more pathetic, niche sport for it occurring.

My dilemma was more personal: I try never- NEVER- to click on articles or updates about the Paul brothers. More power to them both for what they accomplished up to now, but I will not provide clicks or search engine interest to support them. However, I have followed and enjoyed Eric Raskin since his "HBO Boxing Podcast" days and he always entertains me. So, either I had to click on this article and kick my Paul brothers boycott to the side, or ignore it and miss out on the fun way Raskin frames things even if I do not always agree.

So I clicked. I read. But I am not proud.

He lost to a terrible Fury!!! We are going to see a live murder!!! He doesn't go 2 rounds with AJ!

Maaaan Fućķ Fake Paul! Couldn't even woop The gypsys mediocre lil brother and he wants Aj smoke lol yea right. Foh

[Smash]

AJ is considering this as he hasnt ruled it out but everyone he knows is advising against it lol

if he does take it he will just take it easy on him and it could end up being as much as a farce as paul tyson was

[Smash]

if AJ takes the paul fight i think his image might take a hit, i mean hes now seen as a semi crazy ego guy who probably over achieved in the sport but taking a 'fight' against someone like paul might not fight into his public persona at all
