Yes, exactly. I don't know much about Jake Paul, but I think he may be a professional boxer. Basically like getting an IFBB pro card, when that actually meant something.

But as far as I know, Jake Paul is a boxing pro, or otherwise experienced in boxing, even if not at the highest level [but still higher than Ben Askren].

I think Jake Paul is the brother of, or otherwise related to, the YouTuber who went to Japan's suicide forest and stumbled upon the body of someone who had committed suicide, and filmed it and uploaded it to YouTube. His name may be Logan Paul. At first, I thought it was Logan Paul fighting Ben Askren, and I didn't realize that the guy actually fighting [Jake - in the OP picture / thread topic] has a background in boxing.

I'm not sure why Ben Askren is taking this fight other than that maybe he knows that combat fighters have a limited shelf life, and perhaps there is a lot of money in this.

Enough money could be worth it. I wonder why Ben didn't make it conditional on organizing a wrestling match with Jake Paul on another date, after the boxing match is over. This would bring in some more money, and allow Jake and Ben to both win one and lose one. Especially if Jake wins the boxing match first [which I assume he will, as he has more experience in pure boxing than Ben does], and proves he can beat a high level fighter [former UFC fighter]. That could then be used to hype the wrestling match, which Ben would win handily.

For Ben to go into this, presumably knowing he is fighting the superior boxer and will lose, makes me think he is getting paid a lot of money for this fight.

Or maybe he genuinely doesn't understand that just being the better fighter overall does not make him the better striker/boxer.

2 silly fucking gay looking youtubers trying to be professional boxers.

In the 1970`s these cats would have gotten KO`ed in a minute or less of the first round and realized boxing wasn`t in their future.

Sadly enough this fucktard Jake Paul will become champ due to all the ducking that goes on in this once great sport.

That's a tough bet just because there are so many unknowns.  Askren, while a great wrestler, doesn't have much else in the tool box.  Paul, is a you tube fighter.  All I'm saying is that I've seen some interviews with elite pro boxers who say he's serious about learning the craft and has been at it for a couple years now.  I've actually never bet on a fight.  I almost bet Holyfield-Tyson 1 and still regret not doing so as I told everyone Holyfield was gonna stop him.  I still am riding with Jake Paul knocking Askren out.

Hope it looks great. I recently had a new vanity sink installed in the master bath with a carrara marble top. Now I'm waiting on an adjustable round mirror I ordered from Pottery Barn. It isn't due to arrive until July which is fine because I already know I have an ugly mug. In the meantime, I sticky taped a photo of Brad Pitt on the wall above the sink and every morning I pretend I am looking at myself.  ;D

Ben Askren will beat him and boxe him dirty in the clinch. Poor Jake will complain to the ref about ben pulling his head and putting all his weight onto him. Will finally give up in the 4th or 5th round and will lose by TKO

Ben Askren making 500K for less than a minute of getting his ass kicked. Jake Paul maybe making another 8 figure payday with a percentage of PPV. These Paul brothers sure know how to make easy money. Jake Paul took zero punishment. He had it much worse in sparing. Askren is a pure wrestler. Horrible hands and footwork.

For Ben to go into this, presumably knowing he is fighting the superior boxer and will lose, makes me think he is getting paid a lot of money for this fight.

Sadly enough this fucktard Jake Paul will become champ


competent display of cognitive function in this particular context, gents

It's amazing how in this country if you have some game, some angle, you can become a millionaire with very little effort. Look at Conor Mcgregor. A very good but not an off-the-charts dominant champion that achieved legendary status. Even more so not a boxer. Yet he moves to the head of the line and gets a fight with Mayweather. Of all the thousands and millions of boxers throughout the world training their ass off devoting their lives to their sport that will never get within spitting distance of Mayweather have to watch as some guy who boxes as a hobby gets the champ and the money that goes with it.

Very astute point.

I would think it must be a little disheartening for lifelong professional boxers to accept that all the time they put in paying their dues is not enough to fight Floyd Mayweather, while Conor McGregor gets that fight on the basis of name recognition and hype alone.

Perhaps such a pill is easier to swallow while knowing that Floyd Mayweather likely would have stayed retired had that fight not been set up.

I think a more purist example of the type of politics you're speaking of would have been Georges St-Pierre being granted the middleweight title fight he got with Michael Bisping at UFC 217.

GSP definitely paid his dues...but so too did the middleweights in line for a title shot, who were all more recently active than GSP.

Although in fairness to GSP, he held the UFC middleweight division up by 16 months...but relinquished the belt after only one month, even though UFC rules allow champions to hold the belt for 12 months. So in that sense, GSP gave back 11 months of the 16 months he put the middleweight division on hold from negotiations and other things. So he ultimately only cost the middleweight division five months.

The purist in me takes issue with incidents like this...but the practical economic side of me acknowledges that boxing and MMA are both businesses, and need to generate money to exist as professional sports.

What's funny about this to me is that people actually thought Conor McGregor would beat Floyd Mayweather.  ;D

Although he probably did more damage to Floyd than Floyd did to him - not that either did much damage, based on how they looked and talked/walked after the fight. That's one thing about boxing - all the damage is relegated to the head, and can be avoided by a defensive boxer like Mayweather...and is just not as powerful for the lower weight fighters compared to the heavier fighters - especially those in the heavyweight class.

You're bang on about politics [name recognition] playing a role, and how that must sting a little for superior boxers - actual boxers - who paid their dues.

But perhaps they came to terms with the fact that Floyd Mayweather retired after his Manny Pacquiao fight, and would not have come back for any other fight unless it was a big money, easy win.

As for Conor - he performed above expectations people who know boxing had for him, and made a cool $100 million...so even his loss was a win.
