It looks like Jake Paul has his next opponent. He will be fighting Gervonta "Tank" Davis in an exhibition match in Atlanta on November 15th. Interesting that Gervonta wants this to be an exhibition fight. I wonder if that is due to weight class issues or if he’s worried he’ll lose. Anyway, the next boxing spectacle has been set.

Probably weight class is the case for exhibitions but I promise Jake his getting a fight that is going to be rated one of a kind, Tank Davis himself is such a very defensive fighter and jokes around with hitting moments, while Jake Paul is always too in a haste to go in with everyone, I can’t predict what will be the end game because they both have different tactics of boxing so I will watch out for November 15th, but still enjoys Gervonta Davis fights every time his such a great guy  8)

The weight difference is huge, even though Jake isn’t a top-level fighter, he has some experience and a decent punch, so weight can matter in this case. Tank wouldn’t mind making money from this fight, but he has no reason for it to affect his ranking. If he were confident that he could beat Jake, he might not have set such a condition, but here the categories are different and punching power can vary.

Tank Davis is one of these TV famous boxers that's actually kinda good at the sport and also still has it. He's 30 and his most recent televised matches were in early 2025 which still means he's in heat unlike previous opponents Paul won against.


Davis has a few good years in his career to go so it could be that he'd really put on a fight.

But there's such a huge weight difference here. How is this match supposed to be fair? Jake is juiced up, tall and much larger as a dude. Davis may be an excellent boxer but how is he supposed to deal with a 30kg difference?

Of course this is going to be an exhibition match, there's no way that this can be a pro fight as Tank is way smaller, the highest that he has campaign is at 140 lbs while Jake Paul fight Tyson as heavyweight division. But I'm not sure what Davis will have to go this low and fight a non-pro boxer. He can clean up the division that he wanted at 135 lbs. Maybe he has a hard time fighting the other champions there. But I'm hinting that he really doesn't want to lose that 0 and now wanting more money by fighting Jake Paul. For sure he will take a lot of heat from his fans and his critics for going this route.

The match is a celebrity match for influencers, exhibition match makes it likely for the match to be fixed. Jake Paul posses an advantage of weighing more but Tank do have a pro career unlike Jake Paul. The match is about money generating than showing professionalism of the sports, of course we can expect Jake Paul to win as he doesn't want to spoil his influencer career while Tank will be cashing out massively.

Yeah... I am not putting any money on this market, I don't like exhibition fights even less if they have anything to do influencers like Jake Paul.
They are not willing to be on the losing side because of their career in social media, so these fights are likely not to be held in a professional way and it is all for the sake of entertainment from the very beginning. I will pass from this specific encounter and wait for an actual fight, someone who will definitely pin Paul against the floor and prove Boxing is a serious sport, not a show like people like want it to turn into.

I would be surprised if some major casinos decided to open their liquidity/markets to this fight, though.

It’s the weight issue; he cannot compel Jake to follow what he imposed on Ryan Garcia. Gervonta is good at weight manipulation to drain his opponent before the match.

Do they have a catchweight for this exhibition, anyway? Since this is an exhibition, it may seem irrelevant, but Jake has a slight advantage due to his size and weight; Gervonta will rely heavily on speed and ring generalship.

It’s interesting to see how Jake Paul will react to Gervonta’s punches, given the significant weight discrepancy. Will Jake catches Gervonta due to the speed differences, it may not appear as an uneven fight, but it certainly promises to be an intriguing match-up.

Is he the first pro boxer to jump into exhibition fights? Honestly I hope they don’t allow this because it just ruins the sport. Both of them are pro boxers anyway, so why not fight in a proper weight class where they can agree.

Right now it feels like they’re just ripping money from the fans without risking their pro record. The problem with exhibition matches is it could be rigged. The hype during the promotion might be exciting but once the actual fight happens, we’re not really sure what we’re watching.

The match will be broadcast on Netflix. It’s a battle between a little man and a big man. I don’t think Jake can cut weight to get close to Gervonta’s weight.
Gervonta aims to prove he is a David, capable of taking down a Goliath like Jake Paul in today’s era. The weight will have a significant impact on this match. This is like a Lightweight fighting a cruiserweight. Jake will simply ram and move forward while protecting his jaw and head, and if Jake catches Gervonta, it will be goodnight for Gervonta.
This is an exhibition fight because none of the major boxing organisations will sanction a battle like this.

I didn’t realize how big the gap in their weight classes are. There is no way Jake Paul is going to be able to get down below 190 pounds and tank isn’t going to be able to get above 150. Even if he does fight at 150 that isn’t what he is used to and he will probably be slow. I think Jake can win this with a KO if he catches him.

I sincerely hope that at least in this fight both fighters take the fight seriously. I know it's an exhibition fight, but they should at least respect the people who will buy tickets or watch on Netflix. In my opinion, the best way to show respect for the people who will watch the fight would be for the fighters to fight very seriously. I hope it's a fight where there are real punches, a knockout, and the winner is the clear winner, without any doubt. That way, the exhibition fight can be taken seriously.

according to his interview here https://talksport.com/boxing/3220131/jake-paul-rules-weight-gervonta-davis-fight/.. he said he will go down up to 195 lb... so its still on his favor since he is fighting at 200 lb.. and that would mean if Tank agrees, he will climb up which i think would affect his power and speed. .Jake Paul still gonna win this thing.

And that is the exact reason why there are weight classes in boxing. At the start of Jake Paul's career in exhibition, he is already fighting at CW already, so that is around 180 lbs and then he balloon to close to 200 lbs in the Mike Tyson fight.

I don't think that Tank can even get to 150 lbs, maybe he can get to welterweight or super welterweight class around 147 lbs. So this is obvious again for the money grab specially Tank as he knows that this is a very easy fight for him to make a lot of money without sacrificing his boxing record.

For those who might question if this is official or not,

https://www.talkimg.com/images/2025/08/21/UZM9yP.png

https://x.com/netflix/status/1958227634220900809

So there is nothing here but pure money grab specially for Gervonta "Tank" Davis. He might have spoken to his mentor Floyd to go to exhibition match as the money is very easy here. If Mike Tyson can get $20 million on fighting Jake Paul, so for sure Tank might be getting close to that figure.

I'm not sure if there will be some sort of catch weight here as there is a big disparity in weight. And also the height as well, so if we look at the paper, Jake Paul has the weight and height advantage in this fight but not sure if this can translate on him winning or Tank's power is going to be a big factor specially if he hits Jake Paul clean.

Should have been an easy fight for Jake but as we would know it's all for the entertainment and the monetary leeching. Why not Jake don't want to go with pros that still in their primes and same weight class so he could test the waters of the boxing world? In my opinion Jake has enough skill to be there but he's probably afraid his fake boxing record will be tainted.

As I remember, Jake Paul was looking in the likes of Canelo Alvarez. But Canelo will have a fight against Crawford so it was scrapped. Or I'm not sure if Alvarez is interested although we have seen that boxing is business as well so he might go for a fight with Jake Paul if the price is right.

Yes, this is a exhibition fight and clearly there is some weight issues here. But it should be an easy fight for Jake here as what others might think. But Tank is a pro, and undefeated at this weight class. So he could still poise a big problem for Jake even if he is the bigger and heavier guy here.

That is major news. Jake Paul facing Gervonta Tank Davis in Atlanta is going to draw a lot of attention. Even though it’s an exhibition, it’s a fascinating matchup since Jake last match. Tank brings incredible speed and power, while Jake has the size and reach advantage. The weight class issue could definitely be why it’s not a professional bout, but regardless, this is going to be a must-watch event. I believe this will have some betting on PolyMarket later on. Id do hope this time no more subtle Act like what was the last game has been with Tyson.

I love to watch this boxing game, but I had previously seen a Jake Paul Vs Mike Tyson match, the match was very interesting. But again we will be able to see a Jake Paul Vs Tank Davis match on November 14. But I will definitely support Jake Paul there because he is a strong arm and he is a very aggressive player.
A lot of people will bet on Jake Paul and there will be a high chance of winning, from all aspects I can say that I am a favorite fan of Jake Paul.

easy money for Gervonta Davis, he doesn't need to take it seriously and doesn't have to push himself too much since it is an exhibition match. Anyway, I am not expecting much from this fight.

Probably has something to do with weight class, or he just doesn't want a fight with Jake Paul to be included in his official boxing record.

Finally, it has been long time since i hope Davis entering the heavyweight. He's gonna make a lot of money from this game. I can imagine millions will watch this. However, this feels like an exhibition only.

I can't wait to see this tank to put a fight against Jack Paul.  :D

Tank is on top of his career while Paul is an influencer boxer that is not a professional and not a top contender on his division. I’m sure no one willing to risk his title to random boxer even though he has an overwhelming advantage especially if there’s a huge weight difference.

It’s unfair too for other boxer waiting to fight tank that this streamer will have a shot just because he is an influencer boxer.

This is a good match to watch but definitely not gonna bet on this due to potential scripted outcome.

I think he could poise a threat but facing Jake with that huge stature shouldn't make Tank get complacent because he's more pro in terms of skills and undefeated, his weight class was not of Jake's. Well, if it comes down to this, it could be a decision type of match or if Jake can hit the blow he might knock Tank, it would be a surprise if Tank defeats Jake here with a knockout tbh.

Some fighters didn't like this fight https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/boxing/2025/08/20/jake-paul-gervonta-davis-fight-reaction-boxing-match-ryan-garcia/85743951007/

But guess their reaction is nothing since somehow their upcoming fight gain big hype and it seems that fans are interested to see on how Paul would defeat Davis. For sure this is great fight since Davis provably don't want to lose on a youtuber.

I'm excited to watch this fight compare to other Paul opponents before.

Finally! Jake Paul is fighting a real boxer with Tank Davis but the question is, will the be real?

While this might look like a fight between a social media celebrity and a decorated boxer, Paul’s been calling out the boxing world for a while now.
But will this fight be a real test of his skills, or will it be another publicity stunt?

I hope the fight is a real deal!

This is just an exhibition fight, but since the opponent is a real fighter I don’t think it will be easy for Jake Paul if he wins. Davis is the more important name here, he’s undefeated and a real boxing champion, so for sure he will try to make sure he wins. Most likely he’ll be the one climbing in weight just to reach the catchweight limit.

It's an exhibition match and it's easy for it to be all organised to make money, he's just doing entertainment, nothing more. I'm reminded of what happened with Mike Tyson and that match went exactly like that. Mike held back from hitting Paul otherwise he would have killed him, he was just pretending.

The circus continues. Even if Tank clearly knows more about boxing and can strike harder than Jake, I don't think someone is going to win in this fight, it will still be a draw. Just a show for all those who wants to be entertained.

I just hope Tank will do it like it doesn't matter. KO Jake once and for all so that we'll know how fake this guy is. No boxing organization tried to oppose Jake about his production but I'm guessing he also pay them?

How would I risk my money in a fight when both fighters have nothing to lose? At the end of the fight, no winner will be declared and the outcome will not be added to the professional record of the fighters. The fight is purely for entertainment and money-making. Maybe Paul will learn his lessons if he ever meets  Anthony Joshua. 

Again with these so-called "exhibition match" where it would be an unofficial tally of their fight.

I read some articles stating that Davis would find difficulty moving up to the weight class of 140lbs (135lbs currently) against Paul who is around ~190lbs+. It seems like there is a great disparity between the two weights but given the setup of this fight, they would definitely consider this as a money-grabbing event for them.

As we all know what happened on the last exhibition match between Paul and Tyson, we should expect less from this fight. In terms of betting, I would generally avoid placing some bets here given that there are too much factors to consider.

Finally an opponent who is a boxer :D Many would be surprised to see Jake fighting not retired athlete or a random pensioner :D

Since its an exhibition fight, it wont spoil anyones professional boxing record, but the hype will spread as if Jake is fighting WBA champion. More from this fight will win Jake. Not to mention money, he will be one step close to fighting a professional boxer in prime who is from elite. Jake would earn a valuable experience from that fight.

It’s an exhibition because Tank knows he’s going to get his ass kicked. I’m sure in a street fight, Tank would destroy Jake, but with gloves on, and that much of a weight difference… Tank is cooked. He’s going to lose this fight and then retire with a mountain of cash. I don’t blame him but I do hope we get to see a knockout. 

As usual, let's anticipate with the right mindset and interest  that's spectacular to the wrestling setup.Jake Paul Vs. Tank Davis are hot rivals;fans have literally studied controversies all along and that has been great to experience/witness.

https://talkimg.com/images/2025/08/21/UZRs3b.md.jpeg (https://talkimg.com/image/UZRs3b)

This fight is definitely not going to be an easy one with their records so far but even though Jake Paul is almost 100 pounds heavier than Davis, their records are glaringly not far apart. Each of them have lost only one game with many Knockout records. Even though many believes Jake is going to win, I will choose Davis instead due to his level of experience with more games than Jake. Cast less assets because this game may be one of a kind.

A simple exhibition match, which nevertheless provides excitement and, why not, could even yield a few wins.
A boxing match is always beautiful to watch, especially when real athletes and industry professionals enter the arena.
Weight is relative; everything depends on the speed and power of the punches, which completely change the outcome; victory is not a given for Jake.

I don't usually gamble on boxing, so this won't be anywhere different to pick my interest. Worse case scenario, this match isn't as real as boxing should be, results for the game will be drafted and manipulated before the fights begins, so why throw in money for a fixed match.

I became disgusted with this whole Jake Paul and youtubers boxing matches, when it had to do with Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, all for the clout, how did the match go, i don't think i followed up.

Casinos are going to pick the event, since it's going to attract more gamblers to use the platform.

Right, all of this is only being put together for the sake of entertainment and money for those hosting the event. It should not be taken seriously.
I don't have anything personal against Paul, but I believe is not doing a good favor for boxing as an sport when he gets involved in these fights. There are more talented and professional amateur boxers who would kill to have such spotlight and attention, and yet nobody cares about them. It is rather unfair, hopefully in the future people will realize it is better to give their money and attention to those who actually take boxing seriously and participate in real fights, instead of show fights which little to none repercussion upon their careers.  ::)

I do not think Tank has an overwhelming advantage on this fight, the reason why is tied on why boxing have weight classes.  Heavier boxers naturally have heavier punches than the lighter ones (except for some occasional exceptions).  In my opinion, Jake Paul have the advantage on this  ;D and it is clearly obvious looking at their weight.


This is an exhibition fight so the ranking is out of concern here.


It is kinda interesting match but not totally a good match.  I also have a feeling that this one will end up a draw and possibly, just like you stated, this is possibly a scripted match.

This fight is clearly a money grab for both Jake Paul and Gervonta "Tank" Davis. For Jake, it's a much smarter matchup than going up against someone like Anthony Joshua, he’d stand no chance against a heavyweight of that caliber. Tank Davis, on the other hand, is significantly smaller than Jake, and while there's a real risk of him getting knocked out if Jake lands clean, we all know how savvy Tank is when it comes to avoiding danger in the ring.

We don't know if Jake Paul can land a clean punch on Tank Davis. It's because he will be at a disadvantage punching a smaller fighter, his trajectory is lower and so his punch might not be as powerful when you are hitting straight or even higher target. It's just science, momentum is not big and then there is gravity. And then we will see how Tank power is, he campaigns as 135 lbs but for sure he packs more power as his knockout percentage is high and I think he could go to 147 lbs and carry that power. That is going to be a good image if we see Tank hitting Jake will all his power and then what will be Jake's Paul reaction to that power.

I wouldn't surprise that he wants it to be an exhibition match, we all know Jake wasn't really a professional boxer or started a professional boxer and I'm not sure if tank didn't just want to include Jake in his personal record or it's just because it's gonna be an easy money if it's an exhibition match.

Anyway, this is an interesting match, though we all know that Jake is gonna lose, but what if Jake win, do you think this will be a start of Jakes professional boxing career?

This is definitely an exhibition match, no way a cruiserweight fighter will cut down to lightweight where Tank Davis is fighting right now, and no way Davis goes up that high either. There has to be a catchweight, but it’s not final yet.

Whoever loses, especially if it’s Davis, it won’t affect his record since it’s not a pro fight.


no one knows yet who is gonna win.. unless its fight on the weight class of Davis, then obviously Davis will win.

I don’t think Jake will want to lose to a little guy; he has fought fighters from welterweight to heavyweight, and he won convincingly in many of these fights.

It’s a big humiliation to lose to small guys when he has weight and size advantages, and it’s also a big humiliation for Gervonta if he loses the fight. Both guys will want to win because they both have a reputation to protect, and if the fight ends in a draw, Gervonta will have the last laugh because he has proven that he can take a cruiserweight; that’s a significant moral and career boost for him.

I dont think this is going to be a humiliation, since Gervonta is a top boxer. It wont be a humiliation for Gervonta either if he loses, as it is an exhibition fight. He will have fun and earn money. Everyone would understand that if that would be a real professional fight, first they will never meet, second everyone understand that Gervonta wont give him a chance. No one get humiliated when they compete with a child and lose for fun :D

For sure Paul would never think that Tank Davis is little guy. He provably pay respect since his opponent is a world champion and for sure he won't think he's easy opponent for him.

Both would provably do everything they can since as what you have said Paul doesn't want to lose here since its huge career boost for him if he defeat tank.

Also Tank doesn't want to lose here since even if this is an exhibition fight for sure he want to win on every fight he made. I've see this guy so dedicated on each fight he had that's why he became a champion. But I believe that Davis would really get the last laugh here since experience will matter Tank still young and strong.

We should be betting on the real fighter here and that’s Tank Davis. Whatever the terms are, I still think Davis will win because he’s the real pro. Hopefully this exhibition isn’t just all hype that ends up looking rigged.

Jake Paul’s only loss was against Tommy Fury, and Tank is obviously better than him. So most likely Jake Paul will take another loss here.

And he said that Tank Davis has been disrespecting him and so that will be the story board on this fight. But it's obvious that a big bully guy against a small but power little man. So it depends on what angle we see it.

We have seen Manny Pacquiao before, as the great little guy against the biggest of opponents at 147 lbs - 154 lbs and yet he won. Maybe this could be the case here as Gervonta is a professional boxer unlike those that Jake Paul has face before.

Most people underestimated Jake, me included, because he was more of an online personality, but he's been training hard and you could see it in his last fights.

What I don't like about him is that he's always picking old retired MMA fighters, or very old boxers like Tyson. When he finally got a decent boxer (Fury) he lost.
So, I'd bet on Davis here, but... There always has to be a catch like that weight difference. These are not fights you really want to bet on because they're more like something you'd see in a circus.

I agree.

Jake Paul is a faker and only does entertainment fights for his influencer career. And his brother is infamous as well, especially in Japan, for being an obnoxious influencer. I do not think we should make any of them more famous by talking about them or their activities. Any self-respecting real boxxer is not going to even look at Jake Paul. Even though he probably pays old legends giant sums of money to "fight" against him.

Jake is picking fights where he has an advantage, and this time, his only advantage is his size and weight, which could backfire, as he may underestimate his much lighter opponent.

Neither fighters want to lose in this fight. Gervonta doesn’t want to lose here because he has never lost a fight, and Jake has not only a reputation to protect but also doesn’t want to lose to a fighter who is smaller than his size.

If this fight becomes a big hit, expect a lot of small guy vs big guy exhibition matches.
Jake continues to innovate in his exhibition matches. I wonder after this what’s next for him. Maybe he will fight a retired sumo wrestler :D

Just a small update, it looks like the real date of the fight is November 14th instead of 15th.

It's an exhibition match between a boxer wannabe and a professional boxer, so it will most likely be a draw. I don't think Davis would risk getting a loss in an exhibition match from Jake Paul.

Another money-making match for Jake Paul and easy money for Tank Davis. To be honest, whenever I see any of the Paul brothers' names in any boxing match. I am not excited to see it anymore because I know that it is all for the show yet his fans like that.

It will still depend on whether there is a clause in this fight that Davis would have to lose and make Paul the winner of this match. Well, it all depends on how much money is in the bag guaranteed.

This is what exhibition fights are made of, its all for the show, but look at this figure.

https://www.hindustantimes.com/sports/us-sports/jake-paul-vs-gervonta-davis-prize-money-how-much-can-two-boxing-superstars-make-101755828623963.html

He’s actually making more money here than in his pro fights. Reports say he only earned $15 million in his fight against Ryan Garcia back in 2023, and that was already a big fight for him. So no boxer, even a champ, would say no to an exhibition if the purse is around $40 million.

It’s worth more than two or three of Gervonta’s fights, and this is an exhibition; exhibitions are where the money is, as long as Jake Paul keeps his record intact, all his future opponents will benefit. Well, I mentioned in my last posts that neither fighter wants to lose the fight. Still, Jake Paul’s win will benefit many boxers.

If they are going to stage it, we may see a draw here. Gervonta needs to protect his unbeaten record, while Jake Paul aims to boost his reputation, as many are benefiting and will benefit from his continued success.
Wow, the guy is really contributing to the entertainment and the other boxers’ pockets.

Davis is a professional boxer and he's not that old as he is only 30 years old. So if this exhibition match will push thru, I would bet on Davis over Paul. I hope he beat him fast as Paul is milking the boxing industry even if we say, he's considered to be a professional boxer now. I am just not to the idea that there are more deserving pro boxers that are earning less and because Jake Paul is like a social media personality, hence, getting more compensation than most small time boxers.

Tank has never really had a passion for the sport, that is why his record is very lackluster. He was gifted a draw in his last fight and saw the writing on the wall. He is never going to be an all time great so he might as well cash out while he still has a big name. The only fighter who has cherry picked more than Tank is Jake Paul himself. This fight is no exception. It is a complete mismatch from a physical standpoint.

Well let's hope they can do as you have said but I am seeing a situation where both fighters will be trying to play safe since it's an exhibition match they wouldn't want to put their bodies on the line. I believe the people that are going to buy tickets to watch the match won't be expecting much from them, since they already knew it's an exhibition match. The people that will buy tickets to go watch the match will just be going their for fun and relieving themselves of boredom by coming out to funt their wealth and fashion.

Probably, he should have lost in his last fight though, but most likely that is his last straw in the pro fight. So maybe he thought that he can still take advantage of his career, making a lot of money fighting Jake Paul.

But I do agree, in the paper it's looks like a physical mismatch. But that's what the whole point of Jake Paul's career in the exhibition fights. Former boxers or MMA that is really out for a long time and obviously he is going to win. Just like here, a career 135 pounder against a CW/HW in Jake Paul, it's a mismatch.

This is true people that buys ticket for an exhibition match wouldn't expect to see a heavyweight championship fight where every brutality is showcased by the fighters. Boxing has now been categorized and people who wants to watch boxing exhibition matches are like people who go to watch entertainment wrestling matches to unwind themselves and have fun. I expect Jake Paul and Tank Davis, to give the spectators value for their money, they are professionals who knows what the exhibition spectators wants to see, they'll put up the show and become richer, that is the idea.

We can only hope that they will give value for our money. Remember that Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight? There are a lot of hype on that fight, but I felt that fans was short handed here as there are no exciting rounds as obviously, Tyson is old and can't pull the trigger anymore.

Hopefully this fight could be different, although as what others says, it's a physical mismatch as Tank is very small as compare to the huge Jake Paul. But maybe there could be some entertaining rounds and at least those who buy tickets will be happy and satisfied at the end of the fight.

I wonder when Jake Paul will lose status of a guy who is cherry picking his fights, fights retired athletes and all his fights are rigged ? :D Finally an opponent who isnt old, retired, and he is from boxing originally. You dont like exhibition status of a fight? Think is going to be boring? But people get knocked out cold in exhibition fights too. If you think is a form of light sparring, then try not protecting yourself at all and see how quick it will end badly :D

For this fight yeah, he lose that status since Tank Davis is much stronger and well experience than him. This is provably not a boring match up since for sure even if this is an exhibition match only for sure both fighters will give their best shoot since both of them don't want to lose.

Well maybe let see if we could see a knock out here since for me Davis is capable to do that on Paul, but also we cannot down play Paul since he can also do that since he also have capabilities to land solid punch and make the champ shaken up. So let's just see if we could see an entertaining match up between these two fighters.

That’s just how it is. Some may criticize exhibition fights as bad for boxing since they affect the real pro fights, but nothing changes if we keep criticizing and still watch them anyway. The fact they can offer such a huge purse already means they’re guaranteed that people will watch and buy the PPV. if there’s a PPV.

What a payday for Davis if that's a real deal that he'll get and is guaranteed. If I were him, the records won't matter to me. Give me the bag of money and let me win or lose, I wouldn't care at all if it's labelled as an exhibition match. People won't even care about it as long as they get entertained and they see him fight. After the match, everyone goes home happy with the bag of money that he gets from this fight. So, he's the real winner here regardless of the clause and outcome of the fight.

I would not even call it really an exhibition fight, but more like a semi-pro fight. Imho they put exhibition status only because they are from different weight divisions. Lightweight vs cruiserweight, 64kg vs 91kg. Jake weight even more. If Jake was a welterweight or at least middleweight, both of them could agree to fight in catch weight. But, since nobody wants to cut or gain, they have made it as exhibition. Both fighters will not spare each other and try to show their best.

I don't know if we can categorically call it a semi-pro fight as it's obvious not a pro fight and should fall on the category of exhibition fight as that's where Jake Paul is fighting. I know that there has been a lot of critics of Jake Paul saying that he should pick a real boxer. Guess what he is doing it in this fight by getting Tank Davis. However, it's like what Tank is like 7 weight class below him? So I don't know how can someone defend him by picking a 135 lbs as his next fight and then maybe calling it a semi-pro fight? If this can be called that, then Jake should fight someone within his weight class of Cruiserweight or Heavyweight.

We can’t really ask for more. Of course Jake will pick a boxer he believes he can beat. He’ll be fighting Davis at a weight he’s comfortable with, while Davis, who’s not a natural big guy has to move up so they can meet at catchweight.

But whatever the agreement is, this is still a fight worth watching. Out of all Jake Paul’s past fights, this is the biggest one. And since it’s reported Davis will be making a lot of money here, even more than his pro fights, we should expect to see the best version of him. That means it’s likely to end up as a very entertaining fight.

Yeah provably he would do that since he will be in huge trouble if he catch up the weight of Tank Davis. But I don't think with this Jake Paul got the upper hand even though we see a huge difference because Tank still have huge experience and well trained compare to Paul.

Also we could see it here https://www.oddsshark.com/boxing/jake-paul-vs-gervonta-tank-davis-odds-picks-2025 that lots of boxing fans is in favor with Tank. Many people really believes that he can beat Paul in this fight. This is the most toughest challenge faced by Paul so curious to watch this fight to know if Paul is really ready for big challenges of his career.

It seems that some world boxing coaches have to print other reliable boxers, besides Jake Paul, I am actually a little bored to watch Jake Paul above Ring, for example when he made a fight with Julio César Jr. Last June I thought Paul should just retire in boxing.

I think the next round of Jake Paul vs. Gervonta "tank" Davis does not seem to be no longer about heavyweight actually leads to Paul's own career even though there are many media Mentioning boxing between Jake Paul vs. "Tank" Davis prestigious battle for me is not prestigious, instead we will see Paul's silliness on the ring, I don't want to do anything for boxing this time even though he has to issue $1.

I remember his fight last year, was it, against the old "Iron Mike" Tyson. He won that one, but he really showed a lot of respect for Tyson even before the match ended.
Now, there's a new one, which is also an exhibition match.

I have no idea who will win this event, but regardless of who wins or loses, they'll surely both get their talent fees as boxers.
And, of course, the winner will still get a bigger share.

I expect fight to end with a draw. I am sure that none of them wants to see a +1 loss in their record, even thought its an exhibition fight. As more experienced, Tank wont allow to knockout himself or get any damage, as well as he wont do much damage to Jake (it will be stated in contract). A draw would suit everyone, as they will get paid a lot anyway :D

Are there official statement though as what will be the weight? or will still be depends on whatever weight class they have? Because if they meet in a catchweight, I think Jake Paul will be at a disadvantage as it's very hard for someone to lost weight.

Of course there will still be so called boxing fans who are going to fall for this trick and buy the live ticket. Just like in the Mike Tyson fight wherein thousands shows in the live gate to watch the so called historic fight. But not sure if that can topple the record. But we all agree that this fight is a money grab, especially for Tank and it could be his biggest purse in my opinion that's why he accepted this fight instead of a rematch.

Why is Jake Paul so popular? Why does he want to fight Tank Davis? Does he really find that fair? Tanks Davis is 1,66 m and Jake Paul is 1,85 m. It's almost 20 cm difference. It's really huge and unfair. This is similar to Conor McGregor (1,73 cm) fighting to Alex Pereira (1,93 cm) or Jon Jones (1,93 cm). Who finds this fight fair? It's a shame. I don't understand why people are interested in seeing Jake Paul's bullshit fight. Okay, his fight against Tommy Fury was interesting but fighting against 60 years old man and 20 cm shorter man isn't really a proud thing to do, nor interesting.

By now, you have to realise that every fight Jake Paul takes is all about money, he doesn't care about records, experience, age, weight, height, etc... as long as he thinks the fight will get a lot of money, he will go for it.

Well, there you have it folks! Leave it to Jake Paul. I used to think he was nuts but boy has he proved us all wrong with his wit and long term strategy.  From unruly misfit ex Disney star to a boxing champ and business mogul and living in the best tax haven in the US. Smart kid. Love him or hate him you have to have some respect for the dude

Jake Paul is a joke to the boxing world but he doesn't mind that as long as he earns massive amount of money doing it. This exhibition fight will benefit both of them as Tank Davis will earn more than he used to do when fighting regular boxing fights and he doesn't need to train hard, all he got to do is present and that's it, money in the table for him.

He used to be a youtuber, so sort of influencer and entertainer. And he brought this into boxing thru exhibition fight. And then the way he promote his fight, using trash talking and something saying bad against his opponents caught many and that's how he started.

Now he is very famous and still using the same old tactics that make a great boxer. Like Ali or Floyd Mayweather. They trash talk their way into the fans and we are all glued as to what he is going to say next, specially in they cross-path in a conference with Tank Davis. As Tank is also loud mouth himself, so fans are interested to see how this two are going to face each other and how many profanities are going to be throw against each other.

I was surprised at Tank being the favorite. He was an even bigger favorite against Roach, a fighter closer to his own size, and he didn’t perform well. Being a low output fighter who relies entirely on knocking out his opponents, this is not a great style matchup. The size difference is too significant for him to really hurt Jake, if he can even land cleanly, and he can’t win convincingly on points when fighting smaller guys. There are too many things in Jake’s favor.

Since it is only an exhibition, I expect the outcome to be predetermined with a draw being the most likely result. The fighters could make a lot of money on the side by knowing the result ahead of time. Casinos are taking a big risk because people with inside knowledge could make some really large bets.

Why he is a joke? Because he is cherry picking his opponents? That is up to his conscience. He was a youtube, an influencer. For me he is sort of a boxing influencer. Dont look on who he fights, look on how much attention and audience (new audience) he brings to boxing. Look on him from perspective of a motivator, an example of what you can achieve if you do something. An average kid becomes a guy who has nice skills in boxing (not a super professional level) and managed to make money out of that. Anyone from local boxing gym could have done the same, but nobody did.

Somehow on some point I understand on why he do that since somehow first he need to pick those fighter that even if they are out of limelight still marketable.

That's why we've seen for many times that their exhibition match events always successful since they pick the right people which can bring them huge profit.

Also no one thought before that he would reach unto this level on which he would fight those past and current champions. At this point this is already huge achievement for his life and its a bonus that he earn huge for those fights he made.

That’s right, instead of criticizing him, we should praise him for being an inspiration, that even a vlogger can turn into a fighter like him. Look at how he takes care of his body. Even if it’s just exhibition fights, the fact that he’s stepping in the ring means he’s risking his life too.

So far, there’s no other vlogger in boxing who’s been as successful as him.

This is the power of social media influence on any matter in the world. Influencer that has high charisma can demand everything of his fans supported it.

Through professional sports perspective, this is unfair since fighter dedicated their time on training and climbing through their rank just to have a match on the champion while this influencer can demand a challenge to champion and earn huge amount by simply being popular on social media.

No real record however for boxing. All just a content creation for Jake. He doesn't tank on any boxing organization but only his boxing promotion that plans all these and if weren't for the money, those well known boxing personalities wouldn't fight against him.

If this fight still ends up in a draw, this will really make people frustrate and maybe people will realize soon all these stunts are just to take money from them.

Accidentally found this ;D Jake Paul is good at trolling and making drama for possible next fight. He might lose in the ring, but sure does he wins outside of it by stealing fans attention. And again, Jake will be the only one to try to sell this fight.

Or maybe you forgot to mention there was another former professional fighter who became an addict. I'm excited that he'll be fighting a real fighter for the first time, but I still don't know if it's fair or not because there's a significant weight difference. Still, I respect the fact that he's fighting a real boxer. I'm more curious to see how Davis will play, he's a professional boxer and the best in his weight class, after all.

I think it’s a step in the right direction for Jake also. People seem to hold him at a pretty high standard considering he was a YouTube influencer a few years ago. I’m really proud of everything Jake has accomplished and I hope he continues to elevate his opponents on the way to a championship fight. He’s doing great things outside the right as well.

You are surprising me with such comment. I am used to seeing people talk shit about Jake, that he fights only bumbs, retired guys and his fights are rigged. Yet nobody see how a regular guy started training boxing, and within years he is facing best guys in that sport or people who have been training martial arts for years. Furthermore, he isnt a punching bag in the ring and shows a good level of performance for a person who trains for 5 years only.

In terms of opponent, you can really tell Jake Paul is pushing his limits. But you can’t blame people for thinking that since it’s just an exhibition fight, there’s always the possibility it could be rigged - just for show, nobody really gets hurt, and both still walk away with a huge payday.

Still, I kinda like what he’s doing recently. Tank Davis isn’t an easy opponent, he’s a champion, but if the fight happens at Jake Paul’s weight, I can see Jake Paul dominating here.

Its like testing his capabilities if he could able to defeat a current champion. He's nothing to lose here since if Jake Paul will succeed then defeat Tank in this fight for sure this will be a huge achievement for his career even if we say that this is just an exhibition fight and no record has been stained. Plus he can also get huge payment after this fight ends its double victory for Paul if he can take the head of Tank in their upcoming fight.

Tank is really a difficult opponent and for sure this will be the hardest fight for Paul if this is not a scripted match.

To be honest, I said, where is Tank on the line up? And then I heard the voice and then he stoop down and there was that "tiny" little man in Tank Davis. Yeah, it's pure trolling and trying to sell this fight early on. He might have hired some PR company to think about what kind of promotion is best here so they got the fans laughing and maybe wanted to see the fight. But I don't know if this fight is going to sell as there are fans that doesn't like Tank Davis or hate him. And so it's hard to say who is going to carry this fight or sell it. However, since the money that they will share here will depend on how they sell their fight, then for sure Tank will have to come up with all of trash talking during the pre-fight face-off.

I think the usual thing will happen. The audience, willing to see how Jake gets his ass kicked, will buy tickets and PPVs. This time he has chosen an opponent, who is familiar to a wide audience. More people knows his name, than people who new his retired former UFC fighters. So yes, they will generate good revenue in the end. Tank should start doing something also. Pre-fight face-off trash talk is too late to make fight sales :D

Jake Paul’s two biggest fights so far, against Nate Diaz and Mike Tyson, were estimated to bring in around $20 million in revenue. With this upcoming fight against Tank Davis, it should easily go over that number. Unlike Diaz or Tyson who were already past their prime, Davis is still active and a reigning champion in his division. That alone makes the fight much easier to sell, since both guys are already very popular names in boxing right now.

Even though this is an exhibition fight meant to entertain people who will watch this fight, Calvin Ford, Tank’s trainer, shows concern for his fighter's welfare. He knows Jake Paul's capabilities and advantage, so Tank should be well-conditioned and not take Jake Paul lightly.
Jake Paul will impose his will and move forward aggressively, so Tank should be ready to counter. I don’t know if Tank can hurt Jake Paul, but Jake can surely hurt Jake Paul, so Ford's concern is valid

I don't know much about tank Davis but from what I have heard it seems he is also as skillful as Jake paul, this might be a difficult match to predict...most people say that Jake was able to face Tyson so that makes capable of facing athletes in his weight category, Tyson is old but that doesn't mean that he isn't dangerous, it was obvious that Mike Tyson didnt put in all his energy to the fight...Although if I'm betting on this I'm putting my money on jake

Tank Davis is competing in a lower weight class, lightweight, or 136 pounds to be exact, while Jake Paul, thanks to his size, can fight all the way up in the heavyweight division. That massive size disparity is what makes this matchup so intriguing. I'm not sure if there are betting options available, since I believe this is just an exhibition bout, meaning no official winner will be declared. Still, I’ll be watching with curiosity to see if Jake Paul can actually catch Tank Davis and do some damage.

It looks like they didn’t get the permits for this fight for the venue and it may not happen now. Both sides have declined interest in getting a permit for the event, so best case scenario is that it won’t be taking place in Atlanta but to me it seems like it just won’t be happening at all. We’ll see. Maybe they think they can get Vegas.

Where did you find information about permit? Anyway, I dont see it as a huge problem, because they might take any venue they like, as the fight is going to be aired on Netflix. It might be that they can organize event like UFC did during covid - in their own venue, UFC Apex. There is no spectators there or very minimum of them. It might even make their fight more prestige. Kinda a VIP event if you want to watch if IRL.

Yeah, they’ll just find a new venue, but I don’t think this fight will happen as scheduled. IMO, there’s going to be a slight postponement with the kind of developments that just surfaced.

Still, even if it’s just an exhibition fight, a lot of fans would love to see it. Tank Davis is just too good, if Jake Paul somehow beats him, his popularity will skyrocket and he’ll end up as a real superstar in the exhibition fight scene.

They will have to push it in my opinion, and they could have also paid Tank Davis up front money already that's why he said Yes for this fight. So everything has been set up obviously they just hit a snag on the venue but I don't think that will be a big issue as they can find other places to held this fight.

For sure the next venue they know that they could earn a lot of money so why decline in the first fight. We understand the concern about the weight discrepancy, but this is just a exhibition fight so there is a potential that this could be stage just and it will only be just for fun and entertainment but the money that is going to be generated is huge.

It might be worth betting on because Jake always attracts a lot of attention to his fights, but I'm not ready to bet on this fight. Tank has Jake's speed advantage, but because of the huge weight difference, their striking power will be different, and maybe Jake's chances aren't so bad. I understand that Tank is only interested in this fight because he can make a good profit, and everything else is irrelevant; the most important thing is to last until the end. It might be funny if Tank knocks out Jake, but I doubt that will happen.

Here https://tribune.com.pk/story/2567558/jake-paul-vs-tank-davis-mega-fight-in-doubt-after-reported-withdrawal Article has been shared already by @Ziskenberg.

It seems that they didn't settle everything and they got that issue.

But they do some action which is been written here https://www.cbssports.com/boxing/news/jake-paul-vs-gervonta-davis-fight-officially-moved-to-miami-after-atlanta-plans-fall-through/

So even if there's a rumor about fight to be withdrawn their management is doing some action to continue this fight. This gather good traction to people and many of their fans waiting for this fight to happen.

Jake Paul and Tank Davis had their first face off.

https://x.com/mmamania/status/1970270551894827207. Reach and height advantage are going to be a real problem for Tank. Even if Jake is much lower class than Tank, taking a punch always hurts.

Also they had a press conference https://www.mmamania.com/boxing/390862/live-jake-paul-vs-tank-davis-kickoff-press-conference-video-from-new-york-city

Does not look something is getting cancelled. As to a venue issue, that not an issue at all. I am sure that are number of unbooked venue that are ready to sell their place for a good money. Netflix is paying for all after all :D

That’s good news - they didn’t change the fight date, just the venue. That’s not really a problem since there’s still plenty of time. And for an exhibition fight, there’s not much to worry about anyway. What matters is having a good venue that can handle the crowd, and with Netflix already locked in on the contract, it’s all good to go.

and here's the fighters that will entertain us.
https://www.mmamania.com/boxing/391029/paul-vs-tank-main-card-revealed-alycia-baumgardner-defends-unified-titles-in-netflix-co-headliner

Here are the rules for this fight.

-Weight limit is 195 pounds, meaning Jake Paul could not go north of this weight.
-Tank to have to put on 60 pounds, this could affect his quickness.
-Winner to be announced
-10 3-minute rounds
-12oz gloves

Now that they announced that there will be a winner here, i more incline on betting for the bigger Jake Paul to demolish the Tank.

The size difference was on full display in their face off. At least Jake is fighting a real fighter that isn’t way passed their prime. He’ll work his way up in size I’m sure. Tank has his work cut out for him to avoid being knocked out I think. I’m not sure how serious he will take it. He might just get a payday and act like it doesn’t matter.

Its 1.5 months till the fight and they are already making face-off, pre fight conference and weigh-ins (that are unofficial). I dont understand why are they do it so early, if they have practically nothing to sell. Fight will be streamed on Netflix for free for all active subscriptions.

Btw, Jake has announced his sparring partners (https://www.themovieblog.com/2025/09/jake-paul-reveals-sparring-partners-and-rules-ahead-of-davis-showdown/). Could be fake, could be not, but there are some good names there. If he really trains that hard, then I want to hear what people, who called him as a fake boxer would say. Is he still fake or the guy has improved?

Lol, maybe they just want to stay relevant, because after the Canelo vs Crawford fight, still remains as one of the hottest topic in boxing. So they don't want their fans to forget that we still have this fight in the making. So they will have to make some early promotions like face off and then making fun of themselves, going to the media to have interviews.

I think some of the names there are no longer active in boxing like Montana Love and Lubin, two under-achiever I would say.  Jamaine Ortiz might be too big to act like Tank Davis for Jake Paul, but perhaps he wanted to test the power. With Shakur it could be the ring control or the speed of a smaller guy. However, as have said, the source could be fake as the name of the site itself, "movieblog", so don't know if you will believed a news that comes from that of syndicate site.

He’s not “fake” anymore - you can see how he beat his past opponents. Maybe they weren’t world champions, but still, give the guy some credit. He was a YouTuber who turned into a pro boxer, and not many can do that. Even if they try, they’re usually not as successful as Jake Paul.

So while I’m not too optimistic about him winning this fight, there’s still a chance he pulls it off especially since it’s at a weight where he’s already comfortable.

I can't understand why I'm always amazed by this, it's all a show, there's still a month to go as you say and in the meantime they're doing face to face matches to show and increase the hype of everything to sell more, everyone knows it, it's clear but everyone is interested in following these matches, which are comparable to wrestling

Some of sparring partners are no longer active, you are correct, but they have only retired from performing professionally or not much active today. Jake has some nice guys to learn from. I simply remember how 2-3 years ago, people talked here that Jake is fake boxer, all fights are rigged, and he will only fight aged or retired fighter and not necessary boxers. That after a fight against Tommy Fury, Jakes career is finished. But look what he has achieved now.

Honestly, feels more like a money show than a real fight — but it’ll still be fun to watch.

I don't know, but yeah if we go with our argument, then he is facing a real boxer here. But if you look at their size difference, then it's huge as he is fighting a career 135 lbs and Jake is a CW to HW "boxer". And we can only judge him if he faces a active boxer in his weight class to see if he has want it takes to be defined as a boxer as that what he said before, we wanted to be professional. I think we can all agree that this is just another money grabbing fight for him and for Tank. Just a wild dream though if we talk about money fight, Canelo vs Jake for all the marbles?  :)

It's not going to be a real fight, two different weight class and as you have said, it's all about the money, so that is what's going to happen here.

We haven't seen Jake Paul fight for legacy, he fights old dude for money and for sure if we are boxing fans then we shouldn't take this seriously or just watch to have some fun and see what they are going to do inside the ring.

Oh wait, during their early face off early, there has been some circus with all the trash talking. So just imagine days before the fight. You might as well get your popcorn and just sit back and watch this two.

Both of them have face to face by press conference recently and i have seen the picture between these fighters that the difference height is very far that because Paul is six inches taller than Gervonta and from weight too Paul has 195 pon  and Gervonta is only 135 pon which i think this like the fight between middleweight fighter vs lightweight fighter and for real life this fight will never happend and from the experience indeed Gervonta is more good because he can conquer lightweight but in boxing weight is really matter and i would like to see how many rounds will Gervonta be able to survive

And that's why we have a weight class for a reason. Because it's not going to be fair for someone as small as Tank to fight a bigger opponent in Jake. But this is not a professional boxing event and so they can go and have this fight.

This is also the reason why it is a exhibition fight. But we can't deny that there are fans that are very intrigue with this kind of fight and so they are going to buy ticket and this could still be one of the biggest fight this year even if the height and weight difference are evident.

Remember the fight with Tyson, it’s hard to even call it a fight, and it seems to me that Mike had many chances in that fight to land a good punch, but most likely it was all about money. With Tank it will be the same kind of show, I doubt that in the fights organized by Jake anyone will be able to knock him out, especially since in this case the weight difference is too big to take it seriously.

Even if its forbidden for opponents to knockout Jake, punches he receive still hurt :D When people say that his fights are "all about money", point me who among current champions or top fighters, fight for free. Show me anyone who refused to receive millions. Maybe it is Canelo who talks about his legacy, but receive 100 millions for his recent loss.

That's why many says that the fight with Mike is rigged and Jake is supposed to win that fight. Mike will just have to stay for the full 12 rounds and not throw anything big on Jake so that he can survived the fight. As for the money argument, of course, it's a money grab, every pro boxers are looking for the money now. But the big difference is that they're go and fight for a belt, maybe for others it mean nothing. But seeing your name and calling that you are a world champion is very different when you fight for exhibition fight. There is still some pride amongst this pro boxers that an exhibition has no bragging rights whatsoever. This is just my opinion though.

It's no brainer mate, all sports involved players taking big money. They dedicated their whole life to it that's why the demanded millions for their sport. But here, how long is Jake Paul involved in this kind of fight? But he become famous for doing it specially when it all started in the pandemic. But we are no longer in the pandemic, but Jake has captured the imagine of his fans that he continue with it even fighting Mike Tyson and it's a circus show.

So it's hard to compare him fighting against what Canelo did in this sports. Canelo can demand that money because he is a cash cow in this sports. While Jake is the promoter of this fight if I'm not mistaken, same with the Tyson fight, or at least his promotional company is involved.

Cant blame Jake for willing to earn money. Cant blame Jake for choosing opponents. He offers them a fight and a contracts. Its their choice to sign it and compete under special rules that Jake dictate. Dont you find it funny, that so many people hate and complain that he is nothing and fake, and even more people are ready to watch him boxing and pay for it. I can only congratulate Jake for not wasting moment and earning money.

That’s the power of social media. Bad publicity is still a publicity so those bashers of Jake that keeps making comments make Jake more popular to be noticed by other people that might be interested to him.

Also those bashers is watching since they are curious or cheering on the boxer to beat badly Jake on their fight.

The result is there’s a lot of watcher on this kind of match that mixed with supporters and bashers that works well for Jake.

And that is how he build his career though, just like Floyd, so love him or hate him, he will still going to fight and offer fighters a contract that they can't refuse. Definitely, it's all business for him and in the last 5 years for sure his bank account has multiplied ten folds and we can say that he is a good business man after all.

Although again, he might have followed a lot of blue prints of successful people. And with the current times that we have like social media and the internet, it's very easy to make such kind of money as long as you know how to market yourself.

However, compared to how he started, fighting fellow youtubers, and the level of his boxing now, I can only be happy for him :D Better do sports than film pranks and stupid video. Better motivate others via boxing, training, discipline, rigged fights, than motivate people to film pranks and disturb other people. 5 years ago, I would not even imagine him being in same ring with boxing stars.

His fights sell, that's how he generates money, right? So, what I don't understand is that why do people pay money to watch his fights? Is he an amazing boxer? No. Is he entertaining? No. He is just a popular youtuber who can box definitely but he is not a guy that would express emotions in me when watching a fight. That's why I don't understand why his fights sell. Okay, maybe one or two fights made me interesting but not any more fights.

His trash talking is terrible. I am not used to trash talking in boxing but I regularly watch UFC. Conor McGregor was the king of trash talking, then there is a DDP which is very good at it too, not at Conor's level but makes everyone cry in front of the thousands of people. Jake's trash talking is too artificial and stupid.

I don’t even know if it’s people paying to watch anymore. Weren’t his last fights on Netflix now for free to all subscribers? It’s so much smarter than selling PPV imo. The viewers could literally be hearing about his name for the first time ever and they don’t even have to look him up. All you gotta do is iust open Netflix during prelims. Most of his audience is prolly still kids.. or people who are watching for fights like Serrano ooorrrrr to finally see Jake KO’d. Because if you watch any of his cards you’ll notice the Jake fight is always the worst.

The marketing around Jake Paul has dropped drastically. Before, because of the event with Mike Tyson, you could see him everywhere ,everyone was talking about him. Even people who weren’t boxing fans knew that fight was going to happen. It’s strange, it seems like his marketing move didn’t work out as expected, and now he’s back to what he was before, just another name in the boxing world.

What’s not entertaining for you may be entertaining for others. Just like what you said, maybe one or two of his fights caught your interest, it’s the same for others. There will always be people who are interested in his fights and those who aren’t. People come and go. Jake Paul wouldn’t keep doing it if he wasn’t making a profit. Whether his boxing matches are staged or not, as long as he’s earning, we’ll keep seeing him in the ring. He’s a business minded person.

He has to hope he meets and fights similar minded people or he might just be in trouble.   I bet his contract and unspoken agreement has him winning fights but there's always a chance people he fights just lose their temper and he is very irritating with his trash talk crap.
   He has already won of course, this much money paid to see a fight which isnt a proper fight and the worst acting.

Here's a proper boxing match up, I bet the tickets cost less too:

I do agree that this fight may not be entertaining to other but for those who are followers of Jake Paul and die hard fans of Tank Davis, this fight may be interesting. This is how Jake Paul make money in the ring and there is nothing we could do about it except not to watch if we are not happy with it.

What intrigued me most about this exhibition fight is that the bookies listed Tank Davis as the favorite @1.54 in my local bookies, i initially thought that the bigger Jake Paul would come out as the favorite considering that he is the bigger boxer but on the other aspect i also that he can't hit Davis because of the latter's quickness.

His last fights were on Netflix, which doesn't have a PPV but Jake Paul could still get a lot of money from it. He could have received a guaranteed flat fee for partnering with Netflix, he could also receive a performance bonus according to how many people and in how big length watched his fight and so on.
By the way, when I say that his fights sell, I do not solely mean PPV though. People buy tickets to watch his fight in live and that's what makes me confused, why would someone pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for him? But maybe people pay because they want to see Jake getting knocked out very hard one day.

Interesting matchup, both fighters come from very different styles. Tank has real boxing pedigree and knockout precision, while Jake relies more on power and reach. If betting, odds might lean toward Davis, but props or rounds could offer better value.

Is this fight confirmed already that it will be live on Netflix? I did not have interest for this fight before, however, I saw the docuseries for this fight on Netflix heheheh. If this is on Netflix, this will be the only reason will watch this fight.

Also, I would very much like to witness the big Jake Paul to knockout the scammer Tank Davis. This will certainly cause the boxing fans jumping and cheering happily or sadly because they cannot understand their feelings heheheheh.

Yes, it should be in Netflix just like Jake's fight against Mike Tyson. It seems that Jake Paul and his company has team up with Netflix to stream all of his fights. So not only this, maybe in the future fight, Netflix is still going to cover it.

Similar to our feelings of wanting to see Floyd Mayweather getting knockout or losing a fight. But we didn't witnessed it. But here, since Tank is very confident on taking a bigger guy, then perhaps everyone is cheering for Jake to knock that small guy for the first time.

It is an unconfirmed info, but google say that Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight brought Netflix almost 1.5 million new subscriptions (https://www.businessinsider.com/netflix-live-sports-streams-acquire-millions-subscribers-charts-2025-2). If the cheapest subscription cost 8 bucks, then its looks profitable for Netflix. I dont remember how much both of them earned, probably 10 millions or so for each fighter, plus promotion costs, then it is still profitable, as some people would stay and pay for subscription next month. I think even after the fight against Davis, there will another Jake fight that will be aired on Netflix.

Tank Davis was accused of assaulting yet another woman. Usually Tank is able to get these cases dropped by paying the women off. The only time he faced any consequences was when he got probation for a hit and run that injured a pregnant woman and that was a very light punishment. By now, Tank has knocked out more women than world champions. You would think that somebody in power would be willing to hold him accountable.

Instead of spending money on bling bling he should pass anger management treatment. This is the fourth time he assaulted a woman since 2020. Dude has a serious problem and cant control himself. Hope he will never be close to gambling with such self-control issues :D It would be a fail if due that fight will be cancelled and suddenly Jake fight other guy. Such trick has already been pulled and we had Jake vs Woodley 2.

Yes, that's really funny though, I don't know why Tank has this kind of personality? It's more on how he view women, similar to P Diddy who thinks that they are in control and macho that they beat their girl.

So I wouldn't be surprised as well if this fight is going to be cancelled because of this.

But just like in the Mike Tyson fight, Jake could get a replacement fighter just to get him busy until Tank issue is over.

That’s a huge number to consider, and it’s expected they’d have a big purse for that fight since it brings in a lot of new subscribers. Even if only 50% of them stay, that’s still steady income for Netflix. This move by Netflix is really bold but it’s working. Sooner or later, pay-per-view might disappear completely, replaced by strong live-streaming platforms that deliver great entertainment straight to their subscribers.

We cannot compare the boxing legend Floyd Mayweather with this scammer Tank Davis. Also, what does everyone speculate on why the scammer Tank has signed a contract to fight the big Jake Paul? I reckon that this is certainly because the ratings on Tank is dumping. After his loss, yes it was a loss, against Lamont Roach, no one anymore wants to pay to watch his fights. The judges in his fight against Lamont were corrupt.

If Jake Paul will lose this fight, I very much wish will be something similar to the scammer Tank's fight against Lamont Roach. This will again be proof that Tank is a scammer.

I'm confused. I'm not sure if I missed something or if I just don't follow much about his career. Would you mind elaborating on why Tank Davis is a scammer? Did something happen recently that made him a "scammer"? Was this "scammer" label connected to Ryan Garcia vs. Tank Davis?

Whatever the speculations are, it’s hard to blame Tank for saying yes to that kind of offer, it’s easy money for him. Jake Paul isn’t a real championship fight anyway, so maybe Tank’s just being practical, earning good money without putting his title at risk.

As for his situation with Lamont Roach, that can probably be settled with a rematch, or if not, he’ll fight another quality boxer soon. This Jake Paul fight feels more like a side hustle, something he just couldn’t resist. That’s greed for money, not a move for greatness  unlike Terence Crawford, who actually chases legacy.

The scammer Tank Davis is a scammer because he uses the contract to have the first advantage over his opponent. Yes, he used this on King Ry and we can be certain that he has been using this on his other opponents also.

He might have used this on Lamont Roach and what has happened on the fight? Lamont has won this, however, Tank should thanks the judges that they are corrupt and gave the victory to him.

That is what A-sides have always done since the early days of prize fighting. Tank just gets more hate because he has not had the accomplishments inside the ring to deserve being so highly paid and being so disproportionately favored when contracts are negotiated. He has been coddled and protected by promoters, TV networks and sanctioning organizations.

He has had it easy his whole career while many other talented fighters have gotten screwed over. Even notorious cherry pickers like Canelo and Mayweather fought some of the best fighters of their generation and did enough early in their careers to justify some of their preferential treatment.

Tank has also done some awful things outside the sport, which has earned him plenty of scorn.

Jake has the poundag height and wingspan on Tank and its crazy lol. But hey its all about money with Jake Paul and he means business thst smart mother effa lol. Love him or hate him he has a good killer instinct!

It was reported that Jake Paul is exploring the option of looking for a possible replacement for Tank because of Davis issue. And one name that keeps popping up is Ryan Garcia. But Oscar Dela Hoya, Ryan's manager shot down that idea.

It's not that he doesn't want to have Ryan getting another good paycheck. But his reasons is that Ryan fights other DAZN while Jake Paul is on Netflix. In short, it's all about business for Dela Hoya.

But not sure if this is the only reason though. It could be that he really doesn't like Jake Paul and doesn't want to give him another millions.

Netflix has announced that the fight is delayed (https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/jake-paul-tank-davis-fight-delayed). Better say cancelled, as those who have purchased tickets will get a refund within 14-21 days. I dont think that Netflix wants to risk and accept someone on short notice, pay Jake his huge bill and get less than expected response from audience (new subscriptions, ads  contract perhaps would be reconsidered in lower reward side and etc), in exchange money they spent.

They need to create a big hype for this fight so that they could get more bigger revenue. If they push this fight to happen without getting any getting huge attention they might lose a lot from this fight.

But I have great feelings that they could get big sales in this fight. Jake annd Davis is well known personalities. Maybe they need more time to promote and get exposure to many boxing fans around the world.

For sure Netflix know what to do that'a why they didn't push the fight ro happen. They need more time to promote this site and get more  sales and sponsorships.

Yes, for now it looks like it's cancelled, but it could also be similar to Mike Tyson's fight wherein, if my memory serves me right, Jake got a replacement fighter and then move the fight to another day when Tyson was cleared by his doctor to continue to train and fight Jake. So let's see, Ryan Garcia? it could be a good fight as Ryan needed a win as he was upset by Romero. But it could be true what Oscar said that at the end of line, it's business for them. So it could be a good decision by Jake to let everyone knows that this fight is delayed or cancelled for now.

You have explained my argument for me. If the scammer Tank has an easy career and if he is also getting much more money because of this then he is very much similar to an ICO scammer where he will hype the fight, make it certain that the contract has a clause for his advantage, collect all of his fans' money and the fight will end in a knockout, however, this did not help create a legacy. It was a scam.

I ask you to compare this person Tank to a person called the Pacman. Who is the scammer and who is the real boxer?

This will be a very interesting fight, considering the different weight classes. Gervonta once said that boxing is already dead, and he himself will leave the sport after the fight with Paul. Maybe he's right to do so. You can't always stay in the spotlight. Fame and money are great, but there's a limit to everything. So I have no doubts about not trusting Davis's words. Knowing when to retire—that's also something you have to know.

I think Tank realized that the shame that would come along with getting knocked out by Jake Paul isn’t worth the money (which I doubt). This wasn’t a great fight for boxing. I’m somewhat glad it isn’t happening. Jake Paul seems like he has been fighting long enough now that he can start working his way up the ladder of legitimate fighters.

I am glad that Tank won’t be getting a payday. After this latest scandal his career might be over. The rumored replacements that could take the place of Tank are guys like Ryan Garcia, Anthony Joshua and some retired fighters like Andre Ward and Floyd Mayweather. AJ is just a shell of his former self but I still think he is too good for Jake and would knock him out. Jake will probably select somebody who is well known but who is lower risk.

I think Floyd wont play this game twice. He has already fought Jakes brother, and it will be hard to repeat hype and get same $ numbers again. Floyd is crazy about money and now, wont agree to get less or put more effort for same money. In fact it was announced (or it were rumours) that he will be fighting Pacman again. Definitely not Floyd. AJ does not look like a guy who will be agree for such a fight. He isnt much of a media person. Imho he would prefer an exhibition fight against a real challenge, than close to world of boxing Jake. Garcia looks like a perfect candidate. Huge media background, a boxer. But has he solved his mental/drugs/manager issues ?

I do agree, I don't think that he will go with the likes of Ward and AJ, still a big risk for him as those two are going to be big. Probably another former boxer that will not be a threat for him.

As for Tank, he will have to regroup and just play pro boxer, no need to come up with this kind of exhibition matches. He needs to rematch Roach, or fight Shakur and he will still get the payday that he wanted.

No more Tank Davis so Jake Paul has lined up a fight with Nate Diaz to fill the contract spot with Netflix. I can’t say I’m excited about this one. Their first fight wasn’t exactly exciting television and I don’t think anyone cares about a rematch between these two. They should’ve switched it to MMA. That would be worth tuning in for.

Nate Diaz... That is really what nobody has expected or want to see. With Nate attitude of I dont care, that is not going to be an exciting boxing match. Sometimes I am even mad at Nate, when he prefer to slap, punch, and instead of finishing his opponent, show hands wide open and have expression on face showing who is the boss here. Last time Nate knocked someone in the ring or octagon was 2013. Jake better have signed Woodley and knock him out second time :D

So another wash up former MMA fighter for Jake huh? For sure fans are not going to be excited to see this fight. Although Nate Diaz could be a good trash talker and might attract some MMA fans to watch, but I don't think it will live to the hype of Jake Paul.

I guess he can't top the Mike Tyson fight. Unless his dance partner will be like Canelo Alvarez or someone bigger than him in boxing.

According to some news updates, there were charges of domestic violence with some real boxing the have occurred on his girlfriend and also there was kidnapping that was mentioned.

The skeptical me is thinking this is fake and the scammer Tank's team are only doing this for the scammer Tank to be removed from his contract. Jake Paul is a big boxer that can knockout the scammer Tank and they are afraid of this.
