Jake Paul and former UFC champion Tyron Woodley have agreed to a deal in a boxing match. This is another easy cherry pick fight for Jake Paul in my opinion. Woodley is not a boxer, he's 39 years old and has lost his last 4 MMA fights.

Knowing the fame of Jake Paul, they are just continuously riding it out and hope to make even more money with it and of course, improve the career.

Anyway, the TKO win by Jake Paul v Ben Askren at round 1, proving that he is stronger than the former champion holder. Did they choose Woodley as their opponent? I don't think they cherry-picked him because I know that he is a teammate of Askren and wants to avenge his loss. He is out for revenge.

nothing to lose for Woodley as well since he is out of UFC right?
this is merely for money, it will restore Woodley's rep and probably can go back to UFC if he wins the fight. we'll see about that because this is also easy for Paul. the joker had been trained as a boxer for a long time.

mayweather vs paul is on June 7, it's yet not happening but paul already have an upcoming fight. he's in demand. keep up the good work  ;D

Ben Askren is not a boxer, his MMA career was practically built upon take downs and grappling. This fight, however, is more relevant because Tyron Woodley was a good puncher. If Woodley really motivated and does his training well, he will beat Paul. 39 years old is not old enough to lose power and muscle memory IMO.

Mayweather is fighting Logan Paul, this is his brother. I'm not sure which one is which by looking at them but I know that Jake Paul is the better boxer. The odds are not looking great for Woodley so it would be a huge surprise if he won. If he beats Paul then he will probably fight in another celebrity boxing match. Unless he fights for the UFC title, he will make more money in boxing than he would against fringe UFC contenders and journeymen.

I know right! you can even see the fighting form of Ben Askren isn't for boxing and the way Askren moves were incredibly amateur and there isn't enough boxing practice for him to even properly fight in the boxing ring. in the end, the knocked-out wasn't impressive, the fight was boring. I hope jake paul would pick a proper boxer to fight so we can finally see how he holds himself in a fight between two boxers with proper training.

That's the premise that the Paul brothers are looking for when they entered the boxing ring, they want to make money. Also, the revenge is pretty comical if you think about it, it's not like Askren didn't get any money out of it, the fights pay good so they want to get in it, revenge doesn't matter.

no. Woodley tweeted to fight Paul just when he bragged about his win against Askren so the brothers decide to give him a go. if this paul will win which presumably will win, he will brag once again and looks for another ufc rejects.


thought it was the Logan again. so this is the one who unties Floyd's shoelace. funny because they really made it a war against the UFC fighters. boxers are much trained to combat. UFC for once for the tough guys like the marines only but now, seem like for the soft chin weenies.

Glad to see that this time Jake Paul ass is going to kicked. Tyron Woodley is not a belly boy like Ben Askren. At least, this guy know how to punch and have knocking power.

What amazed me is that I start to hear to much about Jake Paul and boxing. Either he is only making hype and money on it. Or secretly trains like hell and he is someones boxing project/money making machine (*cough* Mayweather *cough*).

Is Twitter a credible source of information now? I don't think that there's going to be any difference, this is just a stunt so people will get interested with the fight. Kind of like putting a story on something that shouldn't have. Money will always be the reason even if they don't admit it.

It does seem like he’s still not choosing boxers and is leveraging his fame to get easy KOs. I don’t blame him though and I love seeing his knockout power in the ring. This fighter should be a little harder to beat than Askren was, so while there will still be those that complain, he is making progress and that’s something.

What's happening? lately boxing matches were not like it used to be wherein a professional boxer fighting a professional boxer it's not boxer fighting MMA, boxer fighting basketball player. It looks like it's all about money now I miss real boxing matches, still looking watching this match I heard a lot about Jake Paul but let's hope Woodley would be able to defeat him though his expertise were not in boxing field.

This has been a thing for a long time, remember Tyson in WWE? That's the same thing as this one and even if it doesn't involve pro boxers against pro boxers, the promoters and the federation only cares about the money and at this moment, money is on this kind of exhibition fights.

I do accept that Tyron Woodley is in a loosing streak in MMA and his best years are behind but i am not sure it is going to be an easy fight. Yes Jake Paul defeated Ben Askren easily and Tyron Woodely is his team member and he had knockout wins during his MMA career and he was really explosive when he was in prime shape, i am expecting a good bout and let the best man win but i am rooting for Tyron Woodley to win the fight.

It will be another easy win and easy money for Jake Paul, I would say he is smarter than his brother, and after this, I believe that his record will remain undefeated. How about the betting odds, is it already out?

That's cause the winner has already been decided and Woodley is going to get a lot of money from this exhibition match because Jake Paul has a lot of clout behind him. If there's a betting odds, I am pretty sure that they will probably favor Woodley on this fight and it's a bit of a smart move to bet on Jake Paul.

Might be piece of cake but Paul shouldn't just be confident with it, we might not know but I guess Woodley is preparing well for this fight. If not then I'd say this just for the money and it gets obvious these days and it's more like a scheme from this promotors.

Why are they not choosing even amateur boxers who have at least a decent background on the sport and continuously choosing MMA fighters who are well versed in striking that isn’t allowed on boxing? These guys are riding the fame and clout they garnered from winning against Askren. In it for the money but not for the sport. I just hope that Woodley knocks this guy cold for Jake Paul to recognize that this sport isn’t for him.

This is of course an easy cherry pick for the younger Jake Paul but this does not matter at all to the older and retired UFC champ Tyron Woodley. This is easy money for him whether he will win or not. In fact, I think it's not anymore significant to him whether he will win or not. This is simply a fight for money or probably fun. This is nothing different from Ben Askren's decision to fight Paul. They're trying to have fun and make easy money in the process. The joke's on us if we take this kind of fight seriously.

Well, when they are earning huge money on what they are doing then they will continue it.
It would be better for Jake Paul to fight at least some good "boxers" out there instead of MMA fighters or just celebrities out there who don't have any experience when it comes to boxing.

We can say things like "Nahh they are just ruining the image of Boxing" or anything like that but in the end, there is nothing we can do but to either support or ignore. After all, fights like this are being supported by their followers especially for Jake Paul. Here comes the money :D.

It's an interesting fight to me regardless of the motive. Tyron Woodley looks like a decent puncher if you look at how he climbed the UFC ladder to become a champion. His hands are pretty heavy and shouldn't be underestimated. The question is will the boxing gloves make any difference and affect that KO power?

Good question. I forgot what's the difference in wrapping, but I know MMA fighters tend to wrap their hands like casts so they can throw bombs without care. If that's not the case then Tyron would have to make some adjustments. However, his training at Duke Rufus should be fine. Also, there is a good narrative as Tyron is/was Askrens teammate...

More than likely, they are just doing this exhibition fight for the mere fact of earning money. It is now like a cash cow of Jake Paul and other retired boxers/MMA fighters. At least, get some money while we are in pandemic and people are still interested to watch exhibition fights. Because if people will realize that this is not worth their time and money, they won't be getting enough cash anymore and maybe they will stop staging this kind of fight.

Jake Paul sparred with current UFC fighter Mike Perry. Its confirmed he does train and spar with real fighters.

https://twitter.com/PlatinumPerry/status/1383874510902857734

JavierMendezAKAPodcast youtube channel interviewed someone confirmed to be inside Jake Paul's training camp. Who said Jake Paul brought in more than 20 sparring partners and knocked more than half of them out. I think the video clip was taken down. But I do remember seeing it before the Ben Askren vs Jake Paul fight happened.

Not certain how good of a boxer Woodley is. He has trained in Freddie Roach's legendary Wild Card Boxing Gym. Woodley has legit skills and power. The main question is how banged up is his body at near to 40 years old.

I think Dana White deserves credit for allowing Woodley to take this fight as well. He could've been a dick and exercised his contractual rights with Woodley to prevent the fight from happening. He gave it a green light.

I wonder why Jake Paul is fighting people that are not boxers when he claims to be a boxer, if he is a boxer then why not fight professional boxers and not fighters from another category, MMA is very much different from boxing this is for money he is picking fighters this guy will get knock out by professional boxers all his fights are coming from people who cannot box, people will soon get tired of his stuff.

I agree that this is just another cherry pick fight for Jake Paul to really shows his skills as a 'boxer' and of course to get more circus fights in the future, so easy making money scheme for the Youtube sensation.

Woodley is obviously no longer on his prime, yeah, decent power, but you can't teach him to become a good boxer overnight. Jake Paul by another KO win here.

maybe, he is just testing the waters here. while making some dough, at the same time he is testing his strength inside the ring. and later on, maybe go for boxing belt. right now, he is striking while the iron is hot, so to speak. earning while he has the charisma to challenge retired boxers and mma fighters..
people are patronising it for now. so get as much money as they can.

Jake Paul is good enough to attract all these high profile people who are in other sports to boxing and he is able to make millions which is not a small thing and i never expected Jake Paul to win that easily over Ben Askren but the fight looked funny and now his team mate is going to fight him and Tyron Woodley is also almost retired with the way he failed to win in consecutive MMA bouts.

Nah, I doubt that he will be looking for a boxing belt later, he is making enough money doing this sort of exhibitions matches and he could be making tons of money already. He will be damage if he goes to fight a pro boxer and the money will not be good.

He is doing this obviously to gain fame and have a lot of followers in his social media accounts specially Youtube. And the carefully picks retired boxers, basketball players to fight.

Kinda leech to the publicity of big personalities like Floyd. The more popular the person he fights with, he also gets a take of that popularity and then gets followers at the same time he earns big money from it. Woodley was once a champion, he may not be as popular today but he was a champion in the early years.

Woodley doesn't have a boxing career so it's difficult to say he will win against Jake Paul. If he is going to be TKOed by this man, I wouldn't be surprised.

If this was prime Woodley it would be an easy pick. Say what you want about Jake Paul but the guy knows how to market himself and has decent boxing skill and power. He's a natural boxer and trains hard. This fight is not a blow to the sport, but for Tyron Woodley, a boxing fight is not the same as an MMA fight.

Cardio and conditioning is a question mark for Woodley, and the fire might not be there anymore for him. Having said that, Jake Paul will experience real pressure from a striker. Can Jake Paul face adversity and come back on a fight? We've seen Woodley do so. It's going to be really interesting.

This is another, in my eyes, stupid fight that nobody is really waiting about. Especially as Woodley is not so famous but as others mention it is all about the money. Both Paul and Woodley can take home a nice pay check. Chances are maybe slim, but I hope Woodley can KO Paul.

But Jake Paul is already popular, so expect that this fight will happen as there are people who will watch this fight, just an ordinary fight in our eyes but will definitely make easy money for them. Jake Paul has become a Mayweather in the current generation, he is good of cherry-picking his opponent.

I thought this one is a better fight

https://www.dazn.com/en-PH/news/boxing/jake-paul-accepts-tommy-furys-challenge-but-wants-tyson-fury-on-the-card-as-well/1f561dy78w14w1ix252nhbba5y

He's neither trying to get into the professional scene nor trying to prove his boxing prowess. Neither of them. He's simply trying to become more popular, become a star in whatever way, however cheap it may be, and definitely amass wealth in the process.

This is plain entertainment. Well, they're still into the sports of boxing. But this is not the kind of boxing where you can see dedication, focus, determination, and the will to excel. I guess we cannot see real fighting here. There'd probably still be a KO but it is only because both of them don't have the real training process that a professional boxer has to go through before every fight.

I think after that Mcgregor and Mayweather fight, they see some big opportunities crossing the two fighting sport together to gain both fans from one another and the result is more money whenever there is a fight such as this one. the drama before the fight is just one of their tactic to maximize their earnings and the fight will gain more money for both parties. everything in this kind of sports needs to be adjusted somehow or another so that the fans won't get tired and they think this one is a good idea. the old era of boxing is now gone and we are now witnessing a new kind of boxing when both fighters in the MMA and Boxing industry can face each other in the ring if they want to.

a pro MMA fighter does not endure the real training process that a boxer does for a fight? You are right on that! MMA fighters have to do much more than boxers as they have 3 more disciplines (or if you add leg kicks) to focus on. I'm sure T-Wood does the same training process. What differs maybe is that he is not focusing that much only on hand fighting (even tho MMA fighters spar with big gloves) when he is preparing for an MMA fight. However, he is training at Duke Rufus gym that is a renowned kickboxing and MT gym with both Rufus brothers being world champions at some point, so I think there is a lot that he can offer to T-Woods boxing training.

that's  adds up the fun, if Paul lose a rematch will happened.

More money for those promoters and this two actors will have another way of gaining for more, though it's not that attractive fight,

but since Paul and Woodley got fans on their own, it will give them the opportunities to fight again and entertain those fans who support them. they should come up with entertaining performances.

Well, if people are going to watch, they're still going to do it, what's your opinion going to do against the million of followers of Jake Paul? Will they stop the fight, let's just let this happen and then watch it and and make fun of the march and move on like any normal person who isn't a killjoy.

it will be more entertaining if the rules will be changed to UFC so they can do all the kicking and taking down after the boxing. this will determine whether Paul can adopt the MMA settings. forcing UFC fighters to fight in boxing is just taking it to his favor so the rematch at least will be different.  that should be the kind of entertainment they hype for an exhibition. 

I don't think it's an easy fight for him. An interesting one for sure. Woodley has knocked people out before with punches. I think Woodley should win but Jake does have youth on his side but maybe he's a better boxer than many are giving him credit for. If he does win this I'll be fairly impressed. I was kinda hoping he'd take the Fury fight. That would have been a challenge for him but one that's not impossible for him to win given Fury's only won against 5 journeymen though he's only just getting started and obviously does come from a strong boxing family. Maybe it will happen in the future. I think once Jake starts to lose though his stock will fall sharply. He needs to keep winning then go for the megabucks huge fight against a superstar like McGregor or something. If Jake is making as much money as he says he is I think Connor will take that eventually, especially if he keeps losing in MMA.


Well, there's his pride. If he loses to a 'youtuber' it's not a good look. He's already stated his intentions and that it's his highest payday ever so I can't blame him:

I don't think Paul will agree he is a boxer never train like an MMA and he likes it this way because he knows MMA fighters are good at takedowns, he doesn't want to see his face mess up while an MMA is on top of him pounding him, boxing is a safe route, you'll not get pounded if you go down and you'll get a mandatory 8 counts, MMA is more dangerous than boxing you can break your bones, and your face smash.

I wouldn't say that Woodley is not famous, he made a name for himself when we have at his prime and becoming a MMA champion. But now that he is done with the sports, most of the time this pro fighters have one last itch to scratch or at least wanted to make money. So he step up and accept Woodley's challenge. Of course he is not the A side here but probably the money is good that he can't resists. So even if he losses here, he can made good money in the end.

There is a reason he went with boxing then MMA. It's simply that there are much more unsatisfied MMA fighters then there are boxers. And those unsatisfied fighters might want to dip their toes into boxing that is more lucrative. That narative has been going on for some time now.

I can't believe we have another fight like this, we know the outcome for sure, and  Jake Paul will again win the fight against a former MMA figher. I even think that the previous one is more interesting than this one, but  Jake Paul proves that he is the king of exhibition fights.

Nah,  Jake Paul gonna end this fight early, question is, will this get the same amount of viewers compared to the last fight of  Jake Paul?

Tyron Woodley was once a UFC champion, defended that title four times, but had lost to a former welterweight Kamaru Usman (current champ) by decision. You can be "not so famous" and be a champ. The only disadvantage of Woodley is that he is more wrestler than striker.


According to wiki, Woodley is still an active fighter.

Tyron Woodley was a NCAA Division I Wrestler but he had knockout power in his hands when he was rising in ranks in the UFC and then after becoming a champion we started to see him fight patiently and his explosive power were not in display and now he is on a loosing streak but he lost against world class fighters and i believe that Tyron Woodley can strike against Jake Paul.

He can strike, but the question here is technique, I can see all the advantage going to Jake Paul in a boxing arena. Maybe we can see him play and toy with Woodley early and test his boxing skills and then go for the knockout in later rounds. There's no way that an former UFC champion, and then way past his best years can win against a semi pro boxer like Paul here. Obviously, this fight is for the money and huge publicity for Jake Paul again.

This will be embarassing for the UFC if Tyron Woodley loses through a knockout. Ben Askren also did something similar. Also, any UFC fan knows that Tyron Woodley is angry with the UFC.

I predict that Tyron will make certain that he will have himself lying down in the 1st round. Tyron and Ben are also best friends from college wrestling. Are they working together hehehe?

Definitely a big embarrassment, they have two former top fighters in the UFC getting beaten by Jake Paul if that happens, UFC will have then have to pick one of their rosters to take on Jake Paul, so they can even up the score, but it will be embarrassing for Tyron Woodley he is a former champion getting beaten by an amateur, Jake Paul always has nothing to lose fighting these fighters from UFC.

I agree, that's why Dana doesn't want his current roster to fight in this so called exhibition hype fight. Woodley and Askren are no longer have contracts as far as I know.


The other similarities is that they will obviously got some paycheck since they are no longer fighting in UFC. Someone has to make a living even this retired UFC fighters.

You think that Woodley would eat Pauls punch on purpose and is there only for the cheque? Compared with Askren, he can move at least. Check out this swing https://www.instagram.com/p/CN1Fx8jB4au/. That can chop down Paul easily.

Tyron Woodley used to be a great fighter but he is now fading and he will go a to kind of fight that is not his forte or strong point, he will find himself lost on how to deal with Jake Paul who is improving very much on his last two fights, Jake Paul will be the strong favorite here because of his last two fights and Woodley's last four fights, I don't know what Woodley is trying to prove he is old to change course.

Jake Paul last two fights were against youtuber and a former ufc fighter/wrestler, who is not good at striking. But Woodleys last looses were against professional athletes, not amatures.
There is chance that Woodley is in short of money (debts and aliments)  and is there only for the cheque.
Woodley is not old. He is 39 only. You know, Randy Couture became ufc heavyweight champ at the age of 43. Age is just a number.

I don't know why the OP consider this boxing fight to be easy cherry pick for Jake Paul because Tyron Woodley haven't have a professional boxing fight before and in my opinion and judging by the training of UFC fighter every UFC Champion is a boxer by nature.

Jake (https://www.skysports.com/boxing/news/12183/12324873/jake-paul-warns-tyron-woodley-to-expect-a-boxing-clinic-explosive-electrifying-quick) declared he will shock the world by beating Tyron but people to fight with mouth, they do it in the ring.

If you are not aware of the wrestling skills of Jake Paul he is a wrestler in high school and he has won competitions, so you cannot say that Jake Paul does not know wrestling but he transitioned to boxing well and i have no idea about his submission skills, but i am sure he can hold his own if it is pure wrestling as well.
I do accept it is not easy to master all the techniques in MMA and it will take a long time to master these.

The problem i see with Tyron Woodley is that he is not in his prime shape and age is not in his side and he is on a loosing streak in the UFC and i do not remember when he last knocked out anyone because he was having the knockout power in the past but somewhere he missed that trigger.

Though they are boxers by nature they cannot beat a real boxer in the ring.

We've seen the best boxer and the best MMA fighter fighting in the ring, and the result was obvious.
I'm talking about the Mayweather vs McGregor fight that brought a lot of attention to the fans, some maybe got fooled by putting a bet on McGregor to win.

https://www.oddsshark.com/boxing/mayweather-mcgregor

look at the betting odds, you'll see some believe that McGregor could pull an upset.

These Paul brothers are making deals that will have them a lot of viewership and money too. Expect that there will be more of these professional MMA fighters fight in a boxing match. I think that's their strategy to have at least get a clout which is very interesting for most of their fans and people who have also following them just because of this entertainment that they bring.

I agree although MMA fights are different from a boxing match that's why the rules, the technicals and other things that Tyron had been used to will all change and that advantage will all go to Jake.

It is true that the Paul brothers have created a niche market for themselves as they are able to attract huge crowds whenever they put together a fight and it is not a small thing and all the upcoming talents should learn from them on how to promote their brand and they are picking fights smartly as well, from celebrities to MMA champions of the past even though they are well past their prime they know that it will bring them money.

Not just professional MMA fighters, but there could be other sports personalities willing to put their hands on the cookie jar and take a bit of these so called exhibitions matches by the Paul brothers to somewhat bring some money.

And this are not going to stop, as long as people are willing to buy tickets and the Paul brothers solidifying this niche that they build, it will go on and will bring out retired fighters or non fighters to challenge them.

Why not this is a good opportunity for fighters past their prime to make money again, Robinson Askrem are just two of the fighters that are past their prime but made easy money from this kind of fights Woodley has a run of losses and he needs something to catch the attention of people and continue to make money, it's a risky fight for him, he should hurry and practice his boxing, there is no grappling here, but he can hug.  :D

That's exactly my point, good for them for making money, but there are proponents saying that it can destroy the sports, ex-MMA fighter or any other athlete.

So I guess it's up to the fans itself, if there could be cross over, if they want to patronize and buy tickets that is fine, on the other hand, some fans disagree. Well we might call them maximalists as well, staying to the true colors of sports.

They really had made their branding through this type of match blow. And I don't know how the idea started out but they're all in for algorithms in real life and they've simply applied it but in return with a physical touch which is fair and okay to them. I think the other YTbers that will have the same thought as them might do this type of challenging with other professional athletes to fight but not against their active sport practice. It's the handicap that they're applying with other athletes but for some like with Floyd, they really are giving that challenge up and for sure the money involve is really big.

It's really up to the fans if they continue to buy tickets and watch this kind of match, there are still many exhibition matches coming even if these matches are not yet over, they are good at promoting these kinds of fights because these Youtubers has a huge fan base and people watch to see something new, they are a celebrities and we love watching whatever these celebrities are doing.

Yes and I don't disagree with you about it but Jake Paul shouldn't be consider as a real boxer at the moment though he's does well in some of his previous fight.

This happens because people don't face the fact about Mayweather's records and make their predictions based on McGregor's influential level.


But Tyron can easily adapt to boxing rules and Jake still shouldn't be considered a boxer yet cause this is all about the money not the fight which you also confirm about him and his brother generating a lot of viewership and money through their upcoming fight.

Just a quick question, what is with these Paul brothers and their fights in boxing?

I mean, every time they get involved in a fight or something, the media explodes and tries to hype their fight. I find it so bad that their fight is way more advertised compared to some good old underrated fights in the boxing. In addition, both Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley aren't even boxers to begin with, while the latter being a MMA fighter.

However, I do agree that the reason on why they are advertised this much is because people are willing to watch them. The fame that the Paul brothers garnered due to their YouTube Platform enables to participate into these fights due to the sheer number of their fans willing to purchase tickets and watch them fight.

All the promoters are trying to achieve the same, to have more viewers so that they could make money and the funny thing is that some amateurs who knows marketing very well have taken the bull that no one in the professional side was able to and they are able to create huge hype whenever they fight even though they are amateur fighters which is a huge deal.

All the fighters who shed their blood and sweat will be jealous with the Paul brothers with the way in which they are able to make millions with ease while some of the fighters might need to fighter for several years to get to the million dollars  ;D.

Now, they are finding another way to get easy money is to stage these exhibition fights.
I believe, sooner or later, people will get tired of watching this type of fight.
Maybe, it is still selling because people are still paying to watch them.
However, now that a lot of professional boxing matches are starting to lined up, I guess, these exhibition matches will slowly disappear.
So these promoters as well as non prof boxers should take this opportunity while their fans are still interested to pay their fights.

Their ability to make hype just makes people more curious about fight results with these crossovers. Since the tart of Mcgregor vs Mayweather, there had been more on the line like Tyson vs Jones exhibition and although it's never really a real fight because sometimes it seems to feel like a WWE, people buy the tickets.
When we've seen everything on the internet, I guess people want something new like embarrassing the whole sports like MMA vs Boxing.

After all it is all entertainment and if these performers are giving you the entertainment and forget the stress for an hour and if they are giving then it is more than enough and so is the reason we are seeing these kind of cross over fights and Conor McGregor was the high profile cross over even though there were many that happened but never garnered the same hype and now everyone is looking for those kind of opportunities.

I wouldn't believe everything wikipedia says. He might not be officially retired as an MMA fighter but if he was still a current UFC fighter Dana likely wouldn't have let him fight as he's blocked at least a couple of fighters from match ups against Paul. I don't think Woodley will be a pushover for him like Askren was. I don't think this will be an easy fight for Paul. It's an interesting match-up for sure.


Anyone who says it's destroying the sport are idiots. Don't watch it and just carry on watching the professionals if it's something you don't like. Complaining that it's negatively effecting the sport is like crying about pee wee or Sunday league football saying it's destroying the sport. It isn't. It's just an amateur alternative.  Even Tyson Fury says it's good for the sport as it gets more people interested and paying money to watch it and it certainly doesn't effect the big players. In fact, it's more money for them when they chose to get involved.

I very much agree with your statement.

Thank you for bringing the fight between McGregor vs Mayweather. I think all of these exhibition fights, indeed started with that fight as the media and their promoters saw the potential of earning big chunks of cash due to the media's portrayal of these people. After that fight, lots of other exhibition fights started to erupt and even crossover matches.

With that being said, I do think that in the future, we'll see another exhibition fight involving celebrities or boxing/mma legends.

If Jake wins, and wins by KO, his schizophrenia will open in full. He is already saying that he could "eat" Canelo Alvarez  (https://twitter.com/jakepaul/status/1401746595687940101)  ;D But if he wins, I'm sure he will claim himself as a God of Boxing.
We all know he is hyping and doing everything to get money. But one day he will face a real boxer and get handicapped in the ring.

Tyron Woodley is on a loosing streak in MMA and he is trying to make the maximum amount before retiring and hence you cannot complain him. Tyron Woodley was known for his knockout power but now it looks like he is not in the best physical condition whenever he fights because he is not having the same explosive power he had.

I wonder how this event will be affected after seeing a disappointing Mayweather vs Jake Paul's brother fight. Jake Paul might have some success in his previous exhibition fights but if people will stop watching their "show", they might not hit their target of PPV revenue.

Will this be another fight with no judges to score after the end of the fight?

Tyron can box but rules are different from boxing and MMA and the strategies that he has been used to it are really different. This is the strategy of these Paul brothers to have those exhibitions for these athletes and play the sports that they're not really into it. Well, it's true that this is just all about money and it doesn't matter who wins the game as long as they're both doing this for fun and after the match, things will go back to normal and they'll both take the money with them. That's for sure that there will be a lot of viewership and exposure on this match once it happens and some fans would scream for more Jake Paul or Logan Paul matches with another professional athlete as they've enjoyed it.

This is an official fight. There will be judges and the outcome will permanently count on their record. Woodley, who is the underdog, can actually fight and there isn't a huge size difference so it should less awkward. A Mayweather fight being unpleasant to watch isn't anything new so I do not see it affecting the Paul vs. Woodley fight too much.

Only naive sports fans won't know that the rules of boxing is different from MMA and I believe Tyron will easily get used to boxing since MMA fighters are also trained like boxer during their throwing of the  punch training session but for the creation of strategies that depend on Tyron trainer knowledge

Speaking the fight to be all about money, did you know that critics said the Mayweather straight punches through out of the fight he had with Jake Paul brother (Logan Paul) was 43 punches?

at least bookies will be encouraged to list this fight as there will be official read of the winner. unlike the Mayweather-Logan Paul, and to our dismay, a not-so-good exhibition fight. we are still seeing that these paul brothers find an 'easy' way to earn money via these exhibition fights. they are even paid higher than most professional boxers.
maybe this kind of hype will soon stop once professional boxing matches are in full force. we have had these exhibition fights owed to pandemic and just for boxing fans to watch while the boxing arena is not yet accepting the regular audience.

Well it can affect since many got dismay to see how the supposed to be good match up end between mayweather and him, so I expect that there are several people doesn't like to buy tickets or pay to watch their fight but they are still famous they can still accumulate more audience if they hype the game so hopefully Paul will give a good fight  for this match.

They are striking the iron while it's hot, but this is going to be a better fight than what Jake Paul had the last time Tyron woodley even though lost his last 4 fights but he losses, not the way Askren did and Askren is more of wrestling than a boxer, his best is ground while Woodley can punch and still got power, Jake Paul definitely going to have a tough fight against Woodly this is something to watch, I hope it's not boring like what we saw in the Mayweather fight by his brother.

Actually, we can never tell, there's a lot of hype on his previous fight so people are not anymore expecting high this fight. I don't even think that this fight will generate more revenue than the previous fight of  Jake Paul, but I'm hoping it will not disappoint us again.

What do you think, after the Mayweather vs Logan Paul, will Mayweather fight Jake Paul next? or people are already done supporting the exhibition fight because the last one was boring.

The last thing was expectedly boring and this upcoming fight is more likely worst than that. I don't think I gonna watch this one after I saw what happen with Floyd's fight. the exhibition match is just another way to waste your time and money at the same time. No thrilling nothing to watch any skill that would make you shout while watching. Let's just hope that that's not the case for this fight since people have already been exhausted every time they hear about an exhibition matches.

I dont think that people will be interested to see Floyd fighting amateur athletes anymore. Fighting Jake Paul will be a step back or fighting lower than Logan Paul class fighter. Floyd needs to increase the level of this sparing. To get more money, Floyd needs to make Floyd vs McGregor 2 fight. Anyway, Floyds next boxing fight will be not against a professional boxer.

Yes, the Mayweather vs Logan Paul fight was labeled as a hug fight and the eight-round fight was labeled as the most boring by many, who were not impressed by the frequent hugs of the two boxers in the ring.
and for the next exhibition match, I think the public's interest will decrease because watching it is normal and I also hope the Jake Paul vs Tyron Woodley fight is not boring, whatever the reason because what the audience wants is an exciting fight and shouts when supporting one of them.

It's not worth our money, we should stop patronizing this kind of fight.

The real excitement is only before the right because they are really good in making a hype and we again fall for it.

If this article is true, then it's a shame on us.
https://thespun.com/more/top-stories/how-much-floyd-mayweather-logan-paul-fight-made

What a boring life to make some money if that's what Floyd's want then let him be, people who are supporting his exhibition fights are all for money and I believe it's his actual associates. I'm glad would stop supporting this type of sports where everything is most likely a scripted fight or you knew already who's gonna win. Anyway, for Jake Paul I don't think he would accept any fight offer from Floyd's camp or does Jake camp is carefully hand pick who he would gonna fight if he's going to win against Woodley.

We can call Floyd Mayweather and Logan paul as hugging fight but they made millions of dollars and from the reports they were able to sell over a million PPV buys which means Logan Paul is well settled in life and Floyd Mayweather was smart enough to come out and make another fortune without much effort.

Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley might not do the same PPV buys but i doubt how Tyron Woodley is going to prepare for the fight and after the skeptical approach by Dana White i feel it will be another win for Jake Paul.

I do now believe that the exhibition match was really a setup there are a lot of videos we can analyze it that Jake Paul was Knockout by Mayweather but Floyd had clinch to him and wakes him up so it will not become a knockout, at first I was skeptic that the reports of that exhibition match on youtube was fake but after repeating the fights, maybe it is all really just for the show and for the money,

This fight might become another Ben Askren type of finish, but maybe not because Askren is a different fighter than Woodley, as for Ben Askren he is not solid, and the way he moves there will always be an opening for Paul to strike him and he is not a solid boxer and as for Woodley he can have a decent power punch but this is not MMA this fight is boxing so let's just wait what may happen to Tyron Woodley in what preparation he would work out.

I'm now interested in searching that video, they really are for the money, that's the purpose of the exhibition, just think of it Mayweather trying to entertain the crowd when he himself is a boring fighter? That doesn't make sense, really. While we are criticizing the fight, they'll never care as they'll already walk away with huge money in the bank, especially Mayweather who has a bigger slice of the pie.

As Mayweather said, why should he return on an official fight if they can make an easy money with an exhibition match. He also said that Manny is still fighting at his age for a good money while on the other hand, Mayweather can make an easy money for just an exhibition.

Even without a source, it's so obvious that the match is rigged. For heavy promotions to achieve, they need to show to everyone that they are really serious but behind the cameras, there's already a script.

As for this match, J. Paul vs T. Woodley, I just hope that they are not just for entertainment but considering the fight for real.

I believe so, lets be hopeful that this time they will show a good match since if they continue to act like what they did on their last fight then its provably a pack up for their supporters since so nonsense to waste some bucks to watch their ugly show. Although this is not really an easy fight for Paul but we want to see a best shoot and not those hugging and slow fight.

Whether Tyron Woodley prepares correctly or not for this fight, if Jake Paul wins then I'll give him props for it. He looks like a decent technical striker, and the only critism I have for him if we take out all the drama, and Youtube side of things; is he has cherry picked his opponents. However, what up, and coming boxer doesn't? Most get fed bums (for a lack of a better word) to keep the hype surrounding them going. So, he isn't actually doing anything wrong if you compare it to the rest. However, Tyron Woodley isn't known for terrible striking instead hes actually quite good. Boxer or not, it would be an achievement, and actually something credible to beat him.

The fight is might interesting to others but I don't see it will generate good revenue.

The crowd is not moved on yet with the surname "Paul" and it might affect the PPV knowing Woodley is currently not the same as before.

Definitely will skip betting on this match unless there's an interesting offer.

The Paul vs Askren turns out to be good that its result isn't a draw unlike Mayweather vs Paul. This match might probably end with a knockout as well. Woodley might also lose this match since he isn't used to being a boxer. Although I hope this time the MMA camp will win this time. But why is there no date for this match yet?

So long as you take it as just a show less a competitive event I think its ok, I dont think I can label it as too serious a bet for an outcome not held to normal rules.   We've had fair warning now with the 2 draws that its far more probable to occur then normal fights.

https://i.imgur.com/Tbgb1hO.png

Amanda has acted in some sketches with both brothers, I think they are all related in a group for making videos for views.  I remember they released a few rap songs dis tracks, got some decent revenue from online plays that way They've expanded into this space as entertainment and that's how I'll judge, can I blame them really when they making big bucks its fair game :P

Yeah, this shouldn't be taken seriously, but unfortunately, it detracts seriousness from both sports in the process and sheds light on the current social structure and sports pay. So I get what you are saying, but it also raises additional questions that have been swept under the rug and there is no running away from it.

All elements are talking about the match between Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley, gambling addicts are no exception, MMA fans don't want to be silent about their upcoming Duel.

I don't like seeing Paul talk about Woodley like Askren, be careful when the arrogant go first, I salute Woodley who thinks Paul's abilities are extraordinary, this is a sign that Woodley is more ready to beat Paul and doesn't take it lightly in the match against Paul in this match.

This is a very tense match between Tyron Woodley vs. Jake Paul this fight is worth watching and betting on, this time I'm standing near blacks.

I'm not sure how I feel about this fight.  It seems obvious that Jake Paul targets people he thinks were retired by the sport.  His last opponent and now Woodley both suffered extremely damaging losses before agreeing to fight Jake.  I think the fighters want these fights because they know they're finished in the UFC and I think Jake is happy to knock them out as their bodies can no longer compete at a high enough level to win.  I'm sure Jake will continue to step up his opponents, but this may be another smoke screen fight.

After the Mayweather VS Paul fight many are at dismay on the poor performance of Floyd Mayweather Jr. and many had analyzed the thing that is happening to the entertainment now that this is just one big collaboration, and knowing the way how a YouTuber revenue this is all just for the show or the big entertainment only,

And now I guess if this whole Jake Paul VS Tyron Woodley would continue I think it will not profit that much as the Maywether fight, because many are now awaken to the publicity stunt the Paul brothers are pulling.

Correct, after that fight there's a lot of people who got dissapointed with the outcome, It's all about money and nothing else.


Many already awaken that there's nothing on it, they form this kind of fight to collect money,

interest from the fans might lessen after watching that Mayweather / Paul fight, if there are still fans  buying tickets surely they are those
die hard  by this two fighters.

Guys, lets make a little discussion

If Jake looses, do you think he will drop challenging former ufc fighters for a boxing match? Same goes if he wins - will he challenge another former ufc fighter? I think that Jake is hunting no longer active ufc fighters only. Dont know why he wants to fight against them. Why dont he challenge any retired boxer or a pro boxer with bad record?

I think this is going nowhere if the Woodley VS Paul fight would commence maybe it will become a big letdown people already notice the rigged that is happening with every Jake Pauls fights,


I think there are still people who want to see Jake Paul kiss the canvas but if you look at the pattern Jake Paul is fighting UFC fighters or Boxing Fighters that are either retired or fighters that are at the end of their career, But if Jake Paul would fight fighters that are still getting out of the ring that is a big story, but don't get me wrong Woodley still has the punch but I think this is just a set up on whos Paul really want to fight.


I think maybe in MMA or mixed martial arts fights sometimes a fighter would just use punching as a second option on taking down an opponent or the focus is not with punching but in taking down opponents, maybe he is exposing that and thinks that he can get around it because fighters from MMA or UFC punching is just a secondary that they train,

And yes Jake Paul needs to challenges retired boxer instead of MMA fighters.

You need to give Floyd Mayweather some props for fighting someone who is 30 pounds heavier than him at 44 years of age and everyone should understand that he is not a knockout fighters even during his prime and he was smart enough to make millions with that fight.

Jake Paul is also in the same route to making money and he is challenging retired MMA fighters and Tyron Woodley is the opponent and i am expecting Tyron Woodley to come prepared as he was always talking about getting into boxing and now he is cut from the UFC and he needs to find another career path and boxing is not bad if he can be successful.

Woodly isn't a pushover even though he's been out of the UFC for a while and I still think this isn't going to be an easy fight for Paul. Woodly is certainly no Ben Askren and has knocked people out with punches. Personally if I was going to be my money would probably be on Woodly, or maybe it goes this distance.



No. He will just fight whoever he can get and as long as the money and PPV numbers are there there will be literally 100s of people willing to fight him both in and outside the fighting world. Jake's brand probably relies on being unbeaten right now but it didn't stop his brother from getting the huge Mayweather fight so he'll just cherrypick the biggest fights he can. I think if Jake pulls this off and his PPV numbers are still big his next fight will attract someone big like McGregor or maybe even Mayweather and they'll easily be able to sell that fight given the history in the build up. I don't know if Floyd would risk it though as Logan wasn't as easy as he excepted and Jake is a better fighter than him and has even more youth on his side. If McGregor loses his upcoming fight he might just sack the UFC off and take more of these big money fights just to cash in. McGregor probably won't have much clout left in the UFC if he keeps losing. I suppose it depends if people still keep buying the fights but I'm not sure how long you can keep being the headline fighter with a huge loss streak. Surely even UFC fans will start to lose interest in Connor. He's certainly not the fighter he was.

Well, I give that to him alright and who's doesn't really want cold hard cash right? and the match was only an exhibition match but still there is no doubting that both of them have orchestrated this event, and we just enjoy the show they are pulling on to us.



Right on the bat, Tyron Woodley needs another career and I think this could be his break-even through Jake Paul is the most hated YouTuber by many you can not take out the fact that the kid can really box, and against Ben Askren, he surely stunts many that are watching that fight, I guess Woodley might need to get cautious from this guy in my opinion.

Tyron Woodley is not a pushover but he is on a loosing streak in the UFC and there is no doubt that Tyron Woodley is the most difficult opponent Jake Paul is facing in his high profile money making career and i am also expecting a good fight and the fight will take place at 190 pounds which i think is fair for Tyron Woodley.

The only problem is Tyron Woodley was explosive but for the past few fights we have not seen that explosiveness and he lost those fights and if he could regain that explosiveness he used to have then he could win against Jake Paul by knockout.

But still, you are talking about his capability in UFC, not in the real boxing world where Jake Paul is good at. We are too hype on his opponent but when they are in the ring, Jake Paul would easily finish them. So, no, I'm not gonna fall for the hype, the only one who can beat Jake Paul is a real boxer.

Everyone is furious about the Paul brothers as they are making millions while the rest of the fighters are struggling to put audience together and so is the reason most of them are crying out against them.

Jake Paul is not a professional boxer nor does Logan Paul and they are skillful enough to attract huge crowds and so is the reason these retired fighters are willing to dance with them because they know that they could literally make the biggest pay day of their career and even Tyron Woodley admitted that he is going to make more money than he made in the UFC with this fight. So let me conduct their side show and as long as people are willing to spend money them they will stick around.

That is why I think many retired fighters keep on accepting the Paul brothers offers that could surely skyrocket their fame and would surely get them instant money from an amateur fight.


I think this is just their plot, there are a lot of people who hated the Paul brothers and willing to pay a sum of money to see them get beaten or get destroyed, but the fact that they are really skillful enough for an amateur in boxing or maybe this is all just for the show again just like what happened in the Mayweather fight.

Tyron Woodley last won a fight in the UFC in 2018 and after that he is on a loosing streak and he is not showing his explosive skills he showed for years and he is 39 years old and he is not getting better, if the fight was in his prime i would wage a bet on Tyron Woodley to win but Jake Paul also picked the fight knowing that he is washed up and he is confident that he could finish the fight but still it is the most difficult opponent Jake faced and i will be surprised if Jake Paul will be able to knock out Tyron Woodley as he is having a good chin.

Jake Paul would win as he is choosing a fighter that he thinks he can beat so he can maintain his undefeated record, maybe he wants to become a Mayweather like with an undefeated record in the world of exhibition fights. I'm not sure why people are still talking about an exhibition fight when there's a lot of good real fights in boxing that need real support, maybe we should shift or focus our interest on real fights.

If Jake wins by KO in a first round, it will become obvious that his opponent is the only for the cheque and the whole fight is bought. This will be his last fight. People no longer would believe in him. It is impossible to train for less than half a year and be able to knock down athletes, who trained for fighting during their entire life. Jake Paul does not look like a prodigy in boxing :D
That is why I think he will lose, buy will challenge bigger UFC/MMA start for a boxing match.

There's a money that's why people are interested in an exhibition match.

They already know the chances of that match being fixed so they are playing with it since no one knows how the rigged will turnout.

If they were able to ride the rigged result, then a money is waving. It's also easy for them to predict who will win since no need to looked at the performance of both boxers but rather the drama. Sportsbooks are even wise so they are doing some odds adjustment too.

Logan Paul was swinging hard and even if they were orchestrating one wrong move and he could knockout Mayweather, so i do not see this as a scripted event even though it was an exhibition bout because there were betting lines and it would be illegal if they fixed the fight.

Jake Paul can box and these kids are smart enough to gain the attention they need to make millions of dollars when legit fighters are struggling to make a quarter of what they make with these events and so is the reason many hate them because these youtube stars are mocking the entire PPV system.

I do not remember a fight where Tyron Woodley got knocked out and hence i assume he does have a good chin and i hope this to be a competitive match rather than a boring hugging match.

They have made that to be believable, Well I am only saying what I saw in the fight and what I think about it, and they will surely not going to admit to the public that it is really orchestrated because that would be illegal and a potential down on their career, but if Tyron Woodley would want to KO a Paul then let's see if he really can.


The Only guys that Knock out Woodley would be Nate Marquardt and Colby Covington but yes Woodley really have good chin and this is boxing so there will be no elbow or kicks here, so the only thing Woodley should watch out was the punches but Woodley's option here is limited as well, I think he will surely be having a hard time cooping up to this.

Jake Paul can really box I think the Paul Brother is smart enough to getting a lot of money on events like this, because it wouldn't be possible if they don't have any attention from their fans and haters as well.

That's easy to say that this will be his last fight, remember that the Paul brothers has big enough clout to gather spectators when they arrange a fight plus who are you to say that it's his last fight though? Are you some sort of analyst?

Yeah, but that's in the UFC and two of them were only losses on points. Boxing is a different matter. McGregor is also on a losing streak but I'd expect him to smoke Jake Paul. According to Khabib's manager McGregor will have to resort to fighting him eventually  ;D.

https://www.givemesport.com/1711131-conor-mcgregor-is-finished-needs-jake-paul-fight-says-khabib-nurmagomedovs-manager

To be honest, if Connor does keep losing I think he'll just resort to these cross-sport match-ups as he knows they'll be big paydays and much more than he's getting in the UFC. At least he can choose his own opponents rather than having to get Dana's blessing.

It will not be his last fight as long as he has followers that are eager to see him inside the ring and the promoters can still sell his fights. And who knows, maybe in the future one of these Paul brothers will enter the professional boxing world, once they are tired of these exhibition fights? As they are testing their strength and power inside the ring, they may move on to acquiring professional boxing belts.

I would not think of that as the world of professional boxers is a different level than what he is living now, if he can make the same money or even more, why would he choose to go into the professional world where there's a possibility that he will just be beaten up badly. he is a superstar in the exhibition world, I'm sure he will not leave this world.

Conor has one more fight in the UFC that fans will like to watch if he loses vs. Dustin Poirier, this is a trilogy battle against Nate Diaz. If he wins this, I predict he will celebrate and announce his retirement. However, if he loses this, he will retire quietly.

A good way to celebrate retirement when you win the last fight and start with Jake Paul after it. He is still a money grabber, he can fill a dome of 20K people just to show an exhibition fight. Paul may not be a very easy fight for him but I think Connor has blood boxing skills, is very much accurate in the cage. With just a little training in footwork, he could stay well in the exhibition industry.

I've become less, and less interested in boxing the more that I've gotten into UFC over the years. But, I am interested in hearing what seasoned, die hard boxing fans actually think of these cross over events that have happened over the last few years. Conor, Logan Paul, and Jake Paul. Obviously, there has always been white collar boxing events, and cross overs from different sports, but it seems its becoming more frequent recently, with some MMA fighters showing a desire to get involved with Boxing simply because you earn more money.

You could probably argue that Conor is bigger than the UFC. Even when he loses, his stock still manages to be about the same, due to his exploits earlier in his career. I'm not sure I like Conor's personality, and out of the octagon persona, but I can't help but watch his fights, and actually root for him to win. The guy is one of the most skilled, and aesthetically pleasing fighters there is. Probably one of the best strikers to ever walk into the cage, and because of these reasons he knows that money will follow him regardless of the results. Which is actually what I think has caused him to not have that same passion he had several years ago, since he was chasing money back then. Now money practically chases him.

I grew up watching boxing matches due to the influence of my father as he is a die-hard boxing fan. Every fight, the family would gather and treat it as an occasion where our relatives would visit our houses and eat/drink while watching these matches.

To see that most boxing fights nowadays are between crossover fights from UFC fighters kinda hurts my soul. The spirit of competitiveness is just not there. The hunger of dominating your opponent and watching them fight to death (with actual tactics and techniques) are becoming obsolete due to the fact that most boxers tend to focus more on the cash prize than the actual title.

You can always ignore this kind of stuff if you really don't like their certain goals in making this event no one is forcing you to watch it and no one is forcing you to not watch it either, but again the Jake Paul VS Floyd Mayweather is come to fast maybe this will be a different kind of thing if you can give it a chance, we can never know if this could be a good kind of fight, or a very interesting one,

even though your interest in boxing is not in this kind of exhibition match there are still boxing matches you can surely love to watch and this kind of event is on a different level you can always treat it to non-existing.

It's been the trend because of the Paul brothers, but thank God we will be seeing some great fights in the coming months and I believe the trend will lose its popularity in the long run if they continue to bring boring fights.

Could be, but that makes it boring because the fight is not competitive as most people are expecting to see.

I doubt that most people are expecting something explosiveness in that fight.

They aren't expecting that fight to be turned out as how the usual professional fight should be.

What actually these people care about are their respective gambling bets. Exhibition or professional matches, as long as there is an opportunity to gamble, they will put up some bets on it.

We can't expect a good fight here because they are just fighting for the money and of course this is well organized and the winners has been decided already by the contracts. Bettors will always put their money on risk, on this exhibition match Jake might be on a good side but we still don't know, Woodley might be the one who will win based on the contract, we'll see.

Everyone who fights at any level be it in the street, club or any form is done to make money and do you make the same claim against the rest of the fighters and promoters, yes it looks like a freak show but that does not mean that they are playing around and the fights are fixed, if they are not well prepared they will get injured seriously and all we see is the fight for a few minutes on the fight day but the preparation will take months and if you are watching those tapes you will understand that they are not playing around.

Conor loves big money, however, he can make it by fighting someone else. His team and Pacman’s team were talking already to organize a fight this year. However, Conor lost to Dustin Poirier which has caused Pacman’s team to back out from the negotiations.

It also appears no one knew Anderson Silva fought Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and won hehe. Who does everyone predict to win between Anderson Silva and Logan Paul?

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Dcza2eKTnfQ

There's another fight of Connor, it's already the 3rd fight and if he wins this fight, then we will surely see a Manny vs Connor fight happen. Both fighters needs to win, Connor to win against Poirier  and Manny needs to win against Spence, and there names will be hot again.

We can surely see a lot of these things happen and people will surely watch this because they will get curious about the fight on who's going to win between a non-professional boxer and a former UFC fighter, and people will watch this because they are tired of seeing just traditional boxing they really want something new, but don't get me wrong regular boxing is still awesome to watch, people now tend to look for something new in this time of crisis, and because of the Paul brothers giving something like these, they could be another step ahead in taking away a lot, because they know what people want right now.

I'm not exactly a die hard and more of a casual fan but I don't mind them. Depends on who's fighting. Most aren't worth watching but some of them are interesting if not just for the novelty factor and anything can happen in these fights and people always tune in for the potential upset when it's a mismatch like the Logan/Mayweather bout. They'll only become more popular as people realise how much money is to be made but if people don't like them then they don't have to watch them but even half of the people who complain about them probably still tune in for it whether they pay for it or not.   


He's still going to be one of the biggest draws but that isn't going to last forever and if he keep losing people will lose interest not to mention Connor will probably lose interest first. It's hard to keep walking into the ring when you've probably got a hundred million+ in the bank, especially if you keep losing. Connor still has an ego and probably doesn't want to be labelled a bum. There will be people who will quickly take his place in the superstar category. Francis Ngannou is probably the most exciting fighter right now and if that fight with Jon Jones ever happens it'll probably break UFC records. I'd actually like to see Ngannou fight someone like Tyson Fury as even though he's no where close to being a better boxer than him there's probably not many people he can't knock out if he lands one of those bombs he throws. Fury seems to potentially be interested in the fitght as well which makes me optimistic that it could happen. Ngannou needs a couple more wins under his belt and Tyson needs to get the Wilder rematch and then probably the AJ fights out of the way but after that I could see him taking these big money cross over fights as there'll be no worthwhile opponents left for him really.

Both Manny Pacquiao and Conor McGregor has huge fan base and even if they do not win their next fight and if Manny Pacquiao wants to announce his retirement with one last fight it can be against Conor McGregor and it will do big numbers irrespective of their wins or losses in their next fight.

Lets be real, if Logan Paul and Jake Paul can pull in big numbers, Conor McGregor can always pull big numbers and he has proved that time after time.

I feel like the Paul brothers might have peaked with the Mayweather fight. Logan gave it his best shot but just couldn’t entertain with a KO like we all wanted to see. His brother has done a good job of giving us knockout clips but we can only watch so many Nate Robinson type fights. If they can’t get Logan a big ticket next opponent I think these guys will only see their numbers decline from here.

Pacquiao is making history by still fighting the best boxers in the world even at his age now, I think he has no time fighting an exhibition fight if they will not meet their target. Prior to the defeat of Connor in his last fight, they were talking about a huge figure, and I don't think it's still possible if Connor will keep losing.

I was talking about the agreement made by Conor’s team and Pacman’s team before Conor’s fight against Dustin.

In any case, I speculate that Conor versus Pacman might only be organized if Conor wins his next fight against Dustin Poirier and if Pacman loses his fight versus Errol Spence. Pacman’s next fight if he wins might be a rematch with Floyd Mayweather.

Well, I'm not sure but when Pacquiao retires, he might lose some huge chunk of money from his professional fights that earns millions of dollars.
He was planning to run for presidency for him to retain huge revenues (legal and illegal) after his retirement.
I know he's a good person, but I say this once again. Politics is a dirty business, everyone steals.
Now, when his plan doesn't work. Most probably he'll take the route of exhibition games like the latest trend today.
I can be wrong here, but these are just my 2 cents.

@Oasisman. A person who enters politics is a compromised person. No matter how idealistic you are or no matter how good, the person becomes twisted and his moral compass points south imstead of north. The person he was before politics is gone.

I reckon Pacman’s fight vs. Spence might be more than a challenge for the WBC and IBF championships if he is running for president. This will not be about money or the belts. I reckon this is for his popularity and the real value of the win is his name on the ballot hehe.

They aren't a compromised one, they are more of an indifferent one because if they want to they can always stay with their ideals even if they are scorned for it. I don't think that it suddenly develops to be honest because I think that entering politics is just like money, if there's a lot of it, your real self amplifies.

I hope that he won't run for presidency because our country is already in shambles with a bad stance against Chinese takeover on our islands in the EEZ plus I think that he should stick to boxing. I agree that this is probably a popularity game because he was gone for a long time in the ring and now that election is nigh, this fight will make Pacquiao the talk of the town.

That's exactly what I just said so I don't get what's the point of quoting me instead of the one that I have quoted. I think that they are already considered a professional fighters because they have been training. Maybe we will see them go against pro boxers in the future because I am sure that exhibition matches aren't going to be good for them forever.

There's no date yet? I think those influencers have their own innovative way to gather some audiences looks like they made a huge amount of cash while doing it. Now if you look at the tale of the tape, this is really nonsense since both fighters have nothing and don't have anything to show. I mean they don't have any skills to give their audiences a good exploding fight in the ring. All they have is just some kind of publicity which is so strange that the people wanted to see this kind of fight.

Tyron Woodley done have skill and is boring for the audience? Try watching some Woodley highlight videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rzt3JQjvuu8 or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zv7WgK-pC6c (check fourth KO, would like to see something similar agains Jake). Woodley still can explode and Jake wont hide behind big 12oz boxing gloves.

This fight is already such a train wreck.  I saw them make a bet on the losing fighter getting the winning fighter's name tattooed on them.  It might be slightly interesting seeing if the production has been stepped up at all from the last Jake Paul fight, but I'll admit the mess it was made it bearable to watch.  I think I'm probably more interested in seeing how the event itself unfolds and which celebrities will be in attendance then who wins the actual main event.

Tyrone Woodley is a modern Spartacus.  When I watch the famous gladiatorial series, I always think of Tyrone Woodley. 

He has a great base.  Previously, Tyrone specialized as a freestyle fighter. 

However, he now possesses the techniques of all martial arts. 

Tyrone is able to unpleasantly surprise the most powerful and ferocious fighter with his art.  He often competed at the welterweight division.  Was the champion of the UFC. 

I associate Tyrone Woodley with a praying mantis.  A very strong and dangerous fighter.

But this is boxing where the globes will not have a big impact compared to the ones they are wearing in the MMA, Woodley has a good punching power but he needs to connect it in the right spot, just like all boxers are doing, I read that Mayweather is giving him pointers and lessons about boxing this is a better match than the Ben Askrem match because Woodley punches more than Askrem and he has power on both hands let's see if he can bring that power in the boxing ring.

No doubt fighter needs to connect to the right place, but it hurts even through block. Will Jake has enough courage to take punches through blocks or he will stop the fight because it hurts? As a pro athlete, Woodley has a higher pain threshold than Jake.

Mayweather is giving Jake lessons? Two months ago Jake took/stole Mayweathers hat and Floyd said he would punish him for that. Later he tweeted "Floyd is sending goons after me to try and kill me or hurt me (https://twitter.com/jakepaul/status/1390433546871914499)". And now he is giving Jake lessons?  ???

If Jake Paul is not having a pain threshold he will not be fighting and making money rather he will be making youtube videos and make his living, they are not afraid to get hit and i personally might not fight for money even if anyone would offer me huge money as that is not what i want but they are brave enough to come forward and literally they can humiliate in front of the entire world.

that might be true. the brothers have the balls to fight these MMA fighters even Floyd but i'm sure they don't just fight because they can, it's also for money. they made themselves influencers for money that's why they are doing it on youtube. challenging fighters to clash with them is the easiest way to make money, they found a good niche for their vlogs. all they need is a promoter who also wants to make money.

although we know now that logan can knock just as he showed with askren, it's still risky for him knowing woodley is also an experienced MMA.

Maybe we say it's the easiest way to make money because we haven't seen one of the brothers got brutally KO'd yet. If it's all scripted, then maybe it's easy to make money with the risk of getting injured, but we've seen some of the fights that an opponent sleep on the canvas because of the clean punch.

if you've seen this fight, you'll be concerned about Nate Robinson's health.

NATE ROBINSON GETS KNOCKED OUT BY JAKE PAUL! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hy08ny9aHkg)

it takes a good boxer to make a perfect timing like that. he either really is a good boxer or just a lucky punch. juan ma lopez took 4 fights against pacquiao to have finally done it and then claimed it was his fight plan. who knows. most of the time when an opponent is about to launch a combo, the other one backs away before throwing a counter punch. in this case, they are both launching.

i just watched the whole fight. lol certainly this nate doesn't have a boxings skills.

Sure Nate Robinson doesnt have boxing skills, because he is a basketball player and that was his first ever boxing fight :D Btw that was Jakes third fight. While Jake has been doing boxing since 2018 (counting from his first fight), Nate agreed for this fight just to earn.

Just for the sake of money that they can get from this exhibition fight. And now, this upcoming PAul-Woodley exhibition fight. And obviously, bookies are in favor of Jake Paul to win here. Though the gap of odds is slim this time. Maybe after this exhibition fight, Jake Paul should aim for professional belt already. Too much of these exhibition fights.

I don't think he deserves a belt even if he did beat Woodley convincingly. Jake Paul has a long way to go for that to happen even after this fight. However, I do see him doing big money fights win or lose after Woodley. I suspect Mayweather will want to fight Jake next, and get a slice of the pie. 

Depends how you define peaked but I think we'll be seeing a lot more of them in the boxing world within the next few years. I suppose it depends on how well they do. If Jake beats Woodly then his stock will rise massively and opponents will be clamouring to fight him, but I'm not sure he will win. With that being said, I didn't think he'd KO Askren either but Woodly is ten times a better striker than Askren is. If Jake keeps bringing in the money and views then I could totally see him fighting someone like McGregor down the line especially now he might have to avoid taking kicks to his legs so boxing seems the better choice and there'll be much more money in it for him without the UFC taking their huge cut. Jake has been doing a great job creating beef/bad blood between them so we know this would be a huge fight and Connor will probably want to give him a beating and get paid for it. As for Logan, he's apparently going to fight Anderson Silva who was a great fighter but is way past his prime and only won once in his last nine fights.


It's Aug. 29 at 8 p.m ET/5 p.m. PT.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E6W9ACIWEAQ2pBl?format=jpg&name=small

Good that on Aug 29 not a single major boxing fight is planned or any UFC event. This crap wont steal any other event attention (except Olympics).


Does Paul boys plan to beat all the MMA veterans? Anderson Silva was never a good puncher. He is dangerous for his Muay Thai and is more kicker than puncher. He wont have power in hands to KO heavyweight Logan.

Little update.

Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley event fight card:

Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley cruiserweight (eight rounds)
Amanda Serrano (c) vs. Yamileth Mercado, WBC, WBO, IBO women's featherweight title (12 rounds)
Daniel Dubois vs. Joe Cusumano, heavyweight (10 rounds
Montana Love vs. Ivan Baranchyk, welterweight (10 rounds)
Charles Conwell vs. Lucas Brian Ariel Bastida, super welterweight
Tommy Fury vs. Anthony Taylor, cruiserweight (six rounds)

source: https://www.cbssports.com/boxing/news/jake-paul-vs-tyron-woodley-fight-card-date-odds-location-showtime-ppv-rumors-complete-guide/

Serrano vs Mercado and Dubois vs Cusumano seems worth watching. Even though I don't like women fighting, Serrano might show an interesting fight. And Dubois would send Cusumano to sleep with a hard KO.

I'll be honest, I've watched some of the recent sparring footage both have put out, I hate judging things based on training videos, but Jake Paul is actually looking pretty decent, while Tyron woodley while never really been known for his defense looks a little lost in the ring. My problem with Tyron is in the UFC he was a very aggressive fighter, but from time to time he would sit on the cage, and explode off of it. Well, in his training videos he seems to be giving up the center of the ring to his sparring partner, and backing into the ropes. However, in boxing you can't use the ropes to explode off of them, and catch your opponent off guard.

Jake Paul might find some success by dominating the center of the ring, and then boxing Tyron in, and just picking his shots from a distance. I'm still going with Tyron, but I think I might have overestimated the difference between them.

Important information about the fight.


I'm surprised with the PPV price, I don't know that it's this expensive, maybe higher than the Pacquiao vs Spence/Ugas PPV.

Tyron seems a different person when it comes to the actual match. He' isn't that aggressive but he knows how to create a good defense against his opponent. Jake Paul as for me js too aggressive that it seems like he's panicking sometimes. I guess Jake Paul still needs to control his punches and throw them in perfect timing.

This is 10 bucks more than they charge Jake Paul vs Ben Askren or Logan Paul vs Floyd Mayweather fights. But this is all due to Showtime streaming it. For example DANZ (with fighter like Canelo or GGG) usually charge around 20-30 bucks for a monthly subscription, while here is 60 bucks only for one night. Robbery!  >:(

Tyron can definitely be aggressive. His defensive movement isn't the greatest, he slips moves decently well, but he's susceptible to upper cuts, which we know Jake Paul likes to throw. Both of the Paul brothers have demonstrated decent technique with upper cuts. I do think Tyron will win, but it's much closer than I initially thought. I honestly was expecting Tyron to put him away within a few rounds, possibly the first. The thing is with Jake Paul we can't actually judge him on his boxing fights, because they have all lasted less for a few minutes, apart from that one fight with head guards against Deji. So, we have to rely on his sparring footage as there's a bit more of that.

Jake Paul is looking good in training at least, well the footage that they've released.

  Jake Paul is always talented enough as he always gets what he wanted and he is building up his career carefully. I know Tyron Woodley could be a bigger challenge for him but i am sure Jake Paul is doing everything with a calculation in mind and he will easily attract more crowd than his previous fights and he will be the smartest businessman in boxing history.

Maybe in the near future, he is eyeing for professional belts.
This is like his training ground, so he is testing his strengths and weaknesses first.
Anyway, he is just 24 years old, so he has a long way to go in this boxing sports.
He may even turn to real professional boxer. So not underestimating his goals here.

Paul might be one of the most recognizable names to casual viewers but the fight is not worth that much money. Showtime might have guaranteed him a lot of money and that is why they are charging so much but this could backfire and cause people to look for pirate streams.

Any place where i can watch this fight free of cost ? If not, i would wait for the highlights to appears on the youtube rather than spending 60$ on this fight.
This is the showtimes fight page (https://www.sho.com/sports/fights) where you can register for the fight. I wonder if someone will broadcast it live on the youtube from here ?

Still its more than a week for this fight but i will bet on Jake Paul for my personal likings.

There is always a live broadcast on Youtube or Twitch illegally but if you wait until the next day there will be a full match replay of the event. The PPV price is stupid for a boxing fight that is not that big. I would not expect to pay that much for Tyson Fury v Anthony Joshua definitely not for a Youtuber v a retired ufc fighter.

Tyron should win this fight but only if he is taking it seriously which I am worried about. Jake Paul will be trying his hardest and if Tyron does the same I see a knockout in round 1 by Tyron.

If Jake Paul is making millions even without fighting any potential title contenders and may be he is earning much more than a champion in some of the weight division in boxing and i do not think he will be stepping up his game and challenge anyone that is legitimate.

He is smart enough to build a career around exhibition bouts and with his large social media following and he is able to attract viewers for his fight and it is not a small task by any means. 

That's simple logic, he can be undefeated in the exhibition matches but he will not likely keep that record if he will try to step into professional sports. The exhibition could be scripted, and since he is the star of his world, he can fight anyone whom he likes to fight and still make the same money he made in his fast fights, things are easy for him now, why change for a bigger challenge?

After all, it comes down to the purse they are getting here because it is just an exhibition fight. The more talks it has, the better. So creating noise is one of his goals to sell the fight. As others have said, he may even go home with bigger paycheck as compared to professional boxers especially those that are slated in undercards.There maybe new boxing fans because of him, because he has a lot of followers. But hopefully, boxing will not degrade its reputation once legends retire.

In the last fight of his brother against Floyd, this article says Floyd will make an estimate of $50-$100 million in his fight against Logan Paul.
https://www.sportscasting.com/floyd-mayweather-reveals-how-much-he-will-make-fighting-logan-paul/

Now, if that figure is real, then maybe Jake Paul being the superstar would probably get at least 50% of what Floyd made.
There's no figure at the moment but we can estimate how much he is making and that's the reason why he will stay.

Fun fact, Manny Pacquioa being the legend in the sports of boxing is only guaranteed a $5 million purse in his fight against Ugas.

I'm not sure Paul will win easily against Tyron, yes we know Paul last 3 fights was won TKO and KO but he fight with amateur boxer with poor skills. You can watch him fight with Ben Askren, Nate Robinson, Ali Eson Gib it's very boring, his opponent even didn't know how to punch.

Even though Tyron losing his 4 last match, but to be honest he's skills is much better when he play defensive. He can take all damage and wait the right moment to attack. Judging by their ages the difference is 15 years old (Paul 24 and Tyron 39) it's just a matter of Tyron stamina is sufficient or not to fight with Paul.

This is what we need to see here, if Tyron can go the distance with Paul. Tyron may be a difficult opponent but how long can he stay in the game? This factor is different when we are talking about Pacquiao, because he had proven that this didn't matter when he beat Thurman couple of years ago. I don't know when it comes to Tyron if he can endure the same challenge.

I agree this will become a different scenario as he is fighting a guy who can punch and who have knocked out opponents in the past, the guy is more of a puncher than a wrestler in his stint in the UFC, Paul is good in his last three fights but his opponents made him look good because they are patsy but this time he will be in trouble.

But still, I see this fight is nothing but just for some easy money. The Mayweather fight is just for the boost and whenever he gonna fight with someone nowadays, people wanted to watch not to see one of them win but to see how funny they are inside the ring. I see this fight more on entertainment rather than a sport who one of them competes for a belt like we usually see. What do you think about his last fight Mayweather, does it really make sense or not?

I’m not even sure who I think will win. I feel like Jake Paul might lose this one, even though Dana White was pretty clear that Woolley is past his prime and unable to win in the fighting sport he’s a professional in. I don’t think Jake has ever faced such an opponent and I think he’ll be surprised how tough he is. Still, I’d love to see him win so the shit show can continue.

Tyron Woodley was once a champion in UFC but their training is very different compare to boxing which Paul did time. Paul bringing UFC fighters in the field where he is more experienced is strategic that is why he is confident in beating UFC fighters. It could be an easy win for Paul because Tyron is an aging fighter, it's probably the reason why he even agreed to fight because there is nothing to lose for him. He is out in UFC after successive losses.

For the sake of watching this fight, I am placing my bet on Jake Paul here.  ;D
Since I am not familiar with some of the upcoming fights, and this one rings a bell because of Jake Paul, I decided to put money on him.
We all know that this is just an exhibition fight, so don't expect much action to happen here.
But seems that Tyron will not give an easy fight for Paul.


This reality is really unfair to professional boxers.
These exhibition fighters are earning more than those undercard professional boxers.
Maybe, time to pause these exhibition matches and give the arena to these deserving boxers.

Base on the current odds, ML

Woodley - 2.60
Paul - 1.48

So that is a huge gap and gamblers think that Paul will score a victory here easy.

Woodley might be tough, but this is a different ball game for him. But for sure this will be a good fight for Woodley as he will be given a chance to make money again and exposed Paul if he ever pulls an upset in this fight.

Agree. The odds make sense. Odds providers really see it that way.

Upset has a chance to happen but that was touch to expect. Gamblers might take a risk though if they think a lopsided result will happen. Woodley knows that he's behind so he will make sure he will try to stand close, by any chance, against Jake Paul. After all, he's the one to called out Paul to arrange the fight between them.

I would be very surprised if Paul wins this, though I don't really care either way. If he losses then it will be a big reality check for him and he will lose a lot of his draw but I'm sure he will have a lot of excuses. However, if he wins this will dramatically up his clout and will open him to much bigger opponents which could be interesting. Don't be surprised to see Connor take an interest if he wins. If Jake wins I could seriously see him fighting Tommy Fury next. Tommy is on this undercard and he's still pretty new to pro boxing and seems to want the fight pretty bad. Fury will gladly take this fight if offered because it's the biggest payday he'll be getting for a while if not of all time. Maybe Jake will make a decision after watching him on this card. Tommy v Paul seems more of a decent match up to be fair, though I think Tommy would win. Would be pretty embarrassing for the Fury family if he didn't. Seems like Jake is also taking a pay cut to give the undercard fighters a better pay which if true is nice of him: https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/boxing/jake-paul-tommy-fury-boxing-21378608

Paul is a professional boxer. Last November, he knocked out former NBA player Nate Robinson.
He recently signed a multi-fight deal with Showtime Sports. I wish him new spectacular victories!

We don't know what Woodley is thinking, but in any case maybe he thinks he has a chance as Jake Paul and there are a lot of YT videos of him showing his training so he must be confident that he can beat Jake Paul at his game.

And that odds is very attractive for an underdog, for sure there will be gamblers willing to take that big risk for Woodley to win. I'm not that excited for this fight though, but I wanted the underdog to win.  ;D

Every fighter even an underdog is very confident they'll beat the champion.

here's the betting odds.

https://www.sportingnews.com/us/boxing/news/jake-paul-tyron-woodley-odds-predictions/aip1sdggzytlzgyvavkrvyvh

IMO, not so attractive for Tyron Woodley as Paul is not heavily favored in this fight.

A very good way to attract those potential viewers, showing how dedicated you are preparing for this upcoming fight, may attract
Numbers of people to watch. Plus, adding to that, we knew that gambling industry will also have their own piece for this event. Both.
fighters need to keep the interest hypes up for both markets.


There are always gamblers who will take this chance, with high odds bettors will take it.

A very sole purpose of gambling, taking chances when most are against you playing your cards with the underdog.

Come on, Paul is just some guy from youtube who thinks he can box. He only had 3 matches and none of his opponents had boxing experience... The same applies for this new fight as Woodley is also coming from the UFC.
Probably Paul will win again, but this new win would also not mean anything.

That's the expectation because he is currently the favorite on the betting sites. If we think Paul can't box, then he should be the underdog.. which is more appealing to look, a YouTuber becoming a boxer, or a UFC becoming a boxer?

right now, we can't consider paul as a professional boxer. maybe he can box but not yet in the professional level. but with another  drama involving Woodley's mom having argument from Paul's team  (https://www.mmafighting.com/2021/8/26/22643354/fighters-react-to-post-presser-chaos-between-jake-paul-and-tyron-woodley-teams), this fight might really be sold off in no time. if they are creating so much noise here, paul/woodley will really be popular in attracting fans to watch this exhibition fight more than those professional bouts. lol

All of the fights of Jake Paul have attracted a lot of fans, and as long as he keeps that undefeated record, he will always gain the support of his followers not only in his youtube channel but in the sports of boxing. You know, for a nonprofessional fighter, this guy can box and he even put a retired NBA player to sleep, so I would say he has the power and the ability in boxing.

I don't know if this is an attempt to hype the fight but the whole thing is a circus. The last fight involving a Paul brother also had some sort of controversy that happened during a press conference when Jake Paul snatched Mayweather's hat, ran away, and then Floyd threatened to kill him. It is all just part of the spectacle.

That's how it turning up. More on exhibition and not a professional bout.

But whatever it is, they are able to catch the attention of many and are willing to pay to watch the fight. Bettors also placed their bet and more to come. Once the fight happened, they should do everything to entertain the fans so the next time they will have a fight, either exhibition, comedy, or professional, there are people that will pay for them to watch.

Jake Paul is not a real professional boxer. He is only a youtuber with 3 professional fights. Also, his boxing matches were versus people who were not real professional fighters with the exception of Ben Askren and presently his next opponent, Tyron Woodley.

I predict a knockout hehe. Each of them can knockout the other.

Jake Paul in 3-0? I think he was defeated a lot before or was it all a exhibition matches? why he keeps fighting people that is not from boxing? From NBA player to MMA fighter anyway what are your thoughts about this, do you think Woodley has a chance against Jake Paul I mean MMA is different from Boxing right?

If tomorrow I will knockout a chess player in the ring, will it make me a professional boxer as well?  ;D


Hope that Woodley will knockout that trash talking kid and after get out of the ring and KO that moron that offended his mother. This is something that can not be forgiven and allowed. They can trash talk to each other, offend each other, but never touch relatives. There is a funny Russian quotation "for mom and for the yard I shoot at point-blank range" :)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y21r6jrNDJM

here is my win-win situation for the upcoming fights


personally bet : 300$ on Jake Paul

if Jake Paul Win:
Well , least that i won the bet

if Tyron Woodley Win:
well , at least jake paul lose the match and no more hype (hope)

Quite a big amount to bet on such a match, so hopefully for you Paul will win. But even if he looses, the hype will continue and than we will probably see a rematch or even maybe a match between Logan Paul and Woodley...

Sorry which matches you was refer? AFAIK all his 3 fights were an exhibition matches right? it's recorded on his boxing statistic.
That's all for money and he looking for the opponent that doesn't have a boxing experience to make the winning chance of the fight is more high. But in this match I think he choose the wrong player...

Jake Paul has freaking stupid followers, many of his videos on youtube has a lot dislikes (even the dislikes is higher than likes) but until now his followers still watching him. If he lose this match, I don't think he will lose the hype... so it's not win-win situation.

I think, this fight will be a pretty good fight to be able to make money and also Jake Paul youtube rating later ;D , from some of the boxers that Jake Paul has faced so far, I don't see any opponents who really come from the boxing world and it looks like Jake Paul deliberately chose an opponent who was not from the boxing world to make it easy to beat, just like Jake Paul choice to compete against Tyson Woodley today, in my opinion, Tyson Woodley is not a balanced opponent, especially now that Tyson is 39 years old and also Tyron Woodley appearance now it is no longer stable especially after swallowing three defeats in a row and making him rumored to be retiring soon.

This is hilarious, you can see there's some hate on Jake Paul as even if he lose his bet, we would still be happy, indeed it's a win-win situation but I would not bet that big if I'm not so sure with my prediction, lol.

yeah the main point of betting on this is that , if jake paul really win , well i would just take the money and happy about it . if he lose to tyron woodley , i would be happy too as he just take the first L from his boxing career and he wouldn't take that much shit .

That's weird, but that's your money so you can do whatever you want, besides, the main purpose why we are gambling is to get entertain and if that is what would make us happy, then there's no problem with that, and we cannot call it as wasting of money. Good luck on your win-win situation plan.  :)

The majority of the users who purchases this pay per view wants to see Jake Paul getting knocked out and he has created a persona to attract audience to hate or like him and that is his selling point and Jake Paul is a decent boxer and i am not sure whether Tyron Woodley can fight like he used to when he was the champion in the UFC.

If Tyron Woodley can cork his punches like he used to in the past then we will have a good fight, if not Jake Paul will pick him apart.

Well, Jake Paul looks like Mayweather who is undefeated but everyone who wants to buy the PPV wants to see him lose. I guess somehow I would say that Jake Paul is better because although he is arrogant, at least he doesn't run inside the ring and just touch his opponent to score.  ;D

Very true. The running technique is really frowned upon by boxing fans. Now, Jake Paul is getting more popularity than real boxers here.  ;D And to think that he is earning more than them. Can boxing really continue to support these exhibition fights? Because the younger generation of boxers seem to be left behind if this will continue to attract interest from the audience.

They can't do anything in the first place, right? As long as there are people who will support exhibition matches, it's only a matter of time if we will see this kind of match by hyped or not. On that particular match, there are people who really want to see Jake Paul's being KO or lose.

If things go serious, Woodly has a shot to pinned him down although, at the current status, it's no doubt that Jake Paul has the upper hand. Who knows an upset will happened unless there's an under-the-table discussion to spoil the supposed "real fight".

Aging wrestlers like Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley have accumulated many injuries and serious surgeries over the course of their long competitive careers.

While Jake Paul is a very young 24 year old who as far as I know has never dealt with a serious injury/surgery.

Jake Paul has around a 20 pound weight advantage. 190 pounds isn't where Ben Askren or Tyron Woodley competed in MMA. But it is the weight they'll be facing Jake Paul at.

Jake Paul said he wants to fight Canelo but Jake Paul fights at 190 lbs while Canelo fights at 160-168 lbs. So I wonder how that's supposed to happen.

Well, earning is subjective as those professional boxers, I don't think that he can top one of their fights. But with continuous strategy that Jake does, he's surely earning more than them.

Yes, it's a business and where money is, they'll also be there.

However, 190 pounds might also be near Tyron Woodley’s normal weight and he might not anymore have the same problems caused by dehydration from weight cutting.

This is Tyron Woodley’s hype for this fight hehe. Will the fight be a comedy show similar to Ben Askren or will we witness a real fight? Ben and Tyron hate Dana and I speculate this might be another comedy show to embarass the sport of MMA. Jake Paul wins with a knockout in round 1 hehehehe.



During an appearance on Showtime’s ALL THE SMOKE show, Woodley explained how Mayweather is training him to win world titles in boxing.

“Make sure you tune in because it’s gonna be something different than what you expect. It’s not the YouTuber vs. the TikToker. This is a real motherfuckin’ fight. It’s gonna look like one; I promise you that. It’s gonna look like a real fight, it is a real fight, and when it’s done and it’s over with, they gonna be like, ‘Tyron’s gonna be a world champion in boxing.’ Floyd said, ‘I’m not training you so you can beat this guy. As long as your mind is there and as long as you’re in shape, you’re gonna beat this guy. But I want people to look at you in your first fight and say, nah, this kid’s gonna be the world champion.’ And my training camp has been nothing short of it.”

He is extending himself too much, with Canelo's power and ring generalship I don't think he'll have a chance, he's daring everyone in boxing I hope Woodley beat him so he'll get into the reality that he is not a good boxer that he brags to be, it's just happened that he fought weaklings in the ring somebody should teach this wannabe a lesson I hope it's Woodley.

That's why we can say that Jake Paul has a lot of advantage towards this game knowing his young big and have power but hopefully he will not play lame just like when he fight floyd since its really embarassing to see him so slow and easy target for Mayweather. We can say that its normal since he's youtube and floyd is pro but for sure atleast he can destroy's Mayweather face since he is so big and got heavy punch to throw.



I don't know if this fight well happen since knowing how big paul needed to lose if he will come to Canelo's weight and its totally dangerous for him since for sure his physical attributes will get affected for that situation.

It will be possible in an exhibition match but not in a professional match.

Also possible if Jake Paul is willing to weigh under 170lbs which I doubt he will as it's risky. He has no choice then as Canelo is a much professional boxer compare to he's the one who needs to adjust. If happened, no way Jake Paul will win against Canelo. He's too slow.

But seriously for Canelo, I doubt he will accept any challenge at this guy.

I can't imagine Jake Paul fighting Canelo Alvarez, he is in his prime now and Jake Paul might suffer a painful defeat against one of the best boxers now. Jake paul will stay in his comfort zone and that is to keep fighting on exhibition matches and cherry-picking his opponents.

Lets stop pretending that Jake Paul is a title challenger. He has had 2 professional fights and 1 of them was against a basketball player making his debut and the other was against a retired UFC fighter who had hip surgery recently. Tyron Woodley is a ufc fighter and not a boxer Jake Paul is good at picking his opponents because he knows that all the fighters he is fighting cannot use the skills that they have been training for years and that puts them at a disadvantage.

Can you explain what you mean by running technique, i did not understand that. Jake Paul is popular than any other fighters and it is a fact and whenever he fights they are able to promote them really well unlike other fighters who always cry about low pay but they cannot attract a crowd.

The Paul brothers are more money than professional boxers and it is simply because they can sell the tickets than real boxers. In hindsight the boxing community should be happy as more fighters are doing exhibition bouts and making money and it will attract crowd and new audience for boxing.

It is true that he knows how to pick his challengers because they're in the different fighting sport. With those past matches that he did, it is obvious that if you're not into boxing, the result differs from the known sport that they are in.

Well, it's just entertaining to see him watch with his fights but there's still huge money that's at stake for these matches that he makes.

I won't call it he's good to pick his opponent, because he's not even a professional boxer too. He's mainly a youtuber, social media influencer and actor, we can say Jake Paul or NBA and MMA fighters are same which doesn't have any experience in boxing. That's why those NBA and MMA fighters agreed to fight with Jake Paul, they they could beat him. Both parties must agreed to sign a contract, it's not only from Jake Paul side agrees and then the other parties resignedly accept it.

I agree with that part because he's taking those opponents that are not really into boxing so there's still picking that happens.

While him, he may not be a professional boxer but he has somehow background on it.

I believe deep inside, he's picking opponents that he has the advantage of and has the chance to easily win. What he may be after is if the opponent can fetch good amount of money. So he's looking at the figures and how much noise it will create from the boxing fans. Don't know how long he can continue exhibition fights but so far, it is still gaining buyers of tickets.

Those opponents that will sign with him for sure will get also tons of money. They won't be up for a fight with a youtuber if there are no loads of cash that are at stake.

He knows what to do and makes a huge profit out of it.

Money always involves that's why a fight happens, against Jake Paul, he will surely get the bigger slice of the cake since he is the superstar and probably the one who choose whom he will negotiate to fight him.

https://www.sportingnews.com/us/boxing/news/jake-paul-tyron-woodley-purse-money/1h5jlr6xusvu5182dmpi9kn0d1

Woodley is guaranteed $500k ,so most probably Jake Paul makes at least 1 million in this fight.

He's the one I think that arranges it and just gives the cut his opponent agrees with.

That's really a chunk of money for both of them and that's why this type of match might continue to come with those challengers that he'll invite even if they're not really into boxing.

Looks like they making some good money with their upcoming fight. no wonder we see some great numbers of exhibition fights nowadays because of their current trend, making money by it will be easy. this is the time for those boxers who have already retired to come back for an exhibition match because this is the right time to show their skills again and make some good money with it. They just need to get some good influencers to promote their fight though.

It was Mayweather and Mcgregor I guess are the ones who give inspiration to these fighters to go with the exhibition fights. Mayweather and Mcgregor made tons of money in their fight, bigger than what Mcgregor and Mayweather made in their professional fight, so the younger fighters are inspired as this is the easiest way to make money for them that they can also choose whoever they would fight.

Jake Paul vs Tyron Woodley I think will be a decision by Jake Paul. Tyron Woodley is carrying a lot of muscle and while he weighed in 1/2 a pound lighter than Jake Paul in the weigh ins I think that extra muscle will mean he will tire quickly. Tyron is used to fighting in the ufc and I think his pacing for boxing will also make him tire more quickly. I do not see Jake Paul knocking out Tyron Woodley.

Daniel Dubois returns tonight against Anthony Taylor after Dubois fractured his eye socket against Joe Joyce in his last fight. It will be interesting to see how Dubois does but this does look like a mis match and I am expecting if Dubois can get back to his best a 1st round knockout.

Fury also fighting and I expect that to be a 1st round knockout. Then if Jake Paul and Fury both win their fights I think it could be them against each other next time which I think Fury would finally derail Jake Paul and win.

That is only if he loses if he wins he will get more. They also make money from sponsorships and fulfilling media duties so the end figure will be a lot more than $500k earned.

This will be the biggest payday for Tyron Woodley in his career.

After watching the stare down, the size difference was evident, Tyron Woodley was slowing down in the UFC and may be he was more into other activities as some accuses him and what is the impact he make in boxing depends upon his explosive skills he had during his hay day.

I think with all the sponsors he will be getting he may be making well over a million dollars along with the guaranteed fees and it will be the biggest payday in his career and i am sure if Tyron Woodley looses against Jake Paul he will call out his brother Logan Paul .

This is what I do not understand? Tyron was a world champion in UFC and everyone is saying that he will make more money in this fight than his entire career. How is that true? I do not watch much UFC but I do watch The Ultimate Fighter and they talk about 6 figure contracts if they win the series. That is not champions surely if you are a champion in the UFC you are earning more than 1 million per fight. Conor Mcgregor is one of the highest paid athletes of all time. Logan Paul is much bigger than Tyron? I do not think that would be sanctioned by the the commissioning bodies. I do not think he is earning the most he has ever earned in his career I think that is media talk. Tyron is definitely taking this fight because of the money and he said in the face to face that he will be open to fighting other boxers and would prefer to do boxing instead of mixed martial arts.

No doubts that there will be more upcoming fights like this, easy money just makes it more realistic social media channels can easily bring things on fire, some dramas like trash talking  popular people will convert to easy cash.

After all, they are really aiming for money and that some time inside the ring will surely give them the paycheck that they love.

Just to add up, looking forward to see some good actions during the fight to make the fans feel the value of their money. ::)

The short answer? Dana White. The UFC is a cash printing machine that chews up fighters and spits them out. Occasionally they’ll prop up a Connor or Ronda to get the hype going, but a majority of UFC fighters aren’t making enough money to live on from their fighting alone. Meanwhile the UFC and it’s owners get to be on top of the world. These are the types of things that won’t last. Fighters are already doing their own thing and proving they don’t need the UFC.

The guaranteed price is the most transparent amount, we don't know yet what a fighter would get in additional if he wins, but for sure, if Tyron Woodley wins and upset Jake Paul, then we might see him getting a bigger guaranteed price in the future. For now, I think that $500k which was only the minimum is good enough for him, he has to proved first by beating the undefeated then money will just come for him.

All of the fighters are taking fights to make money and Tyron Woodley is 39 years old and he is not going to get better and he is on a loosing streak in the UFC as he lost 4 of his fights in a row and boxing is the only way moving forward. In the UFC he as paid $500,000 every fight and then the PPV numbers i believe but those figures are not available.

That's why exhibition fights like this help them to improve their chances to make more money. I'm pretty sure that we will see more of the exhibition fights not only involving the Paul brothers but with other popular fighters in MMA too. As they say, there's life after retirement, and exhibition matches could be their life if they still don't lose that passion to fight.

I can only hear popular names in UFC, yes Coner is making a lot of money, not only in UFC but even in boxing as he got his biggest payday when he fought Mayweather. $100 million for that fight including PPV as reported https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-how-much-did-conor-mcgregor-make-in-the-fight-against-floyd-mayweather/

that's really huge amount of money surpassing most of professional boxing bouts. no wonder, these promoters keep on arranging these exhibition fights. and i guess, this will continue for now. even oscar de la hoya joined this hype, he will be fighting with vitor belfort this coming sept 12. seems that we will be seeing retired boxers trying their luck inside the ring again, but am certain, it is more on the paycheck they can get after.

There are more fans willing to purchase these PPV and for most of the old fighters they never saw these huge pay days as the promoters were handling all the money and the fighters never used to get involved in their financials unless they understand they do not have much bank balance at the end of their careers but now the fighters are smart and they know how to handle money even though they have managers negotiating the deals and if they think they can make money they will grab that opportunity and it is a win situation for them financially and for the fans a fight they might not see again.

There’s a lot more for sure, especially the pay per view money that they can generate during the match. The reward is pretty great for this two, and whoever wins will have a huge money for sure that can be a good bonus. Jake Paul is on the top here, but Woodley is a good fighter too let’s see who will take home a huge portion of the profit.

Just the publicity will be a win and everything else so long as its a clean fight will help for years forward to gain extra revenue.   I'm not a fan but he can easily spin this out to well over a mil, thats got to be the bottom estimate here.


Nice outcome either way makes me want to bet for a draw but I dont see that available yet its become increasingly likely in these types of non competitive matches.   Call it exhibition but seems alot of it is a show not for the prize since we have these nice outcomes for the players anyhow.    I dont feel like betting on Paul with those odds for a favorite, I'll just put a small bet down on Tyron maybe he gets angry and breaks the script and/or gets a lucky hit

Jake Paul is in a real threat to his record, we all know that he has only beaten patsy or weak fighters in his previous fights, Woodley is a puncher slugger with power, it's his time to shine now whatever bad records he had in his last fights in the UFC, there's a possibility of a new career here in boxing just like what Anderson Silva did, so Goodluck to both fighters.

It's just a matter of who is more condition in this fight as both are good fighters and there's a reason why Jake Paul is the favorite, so if we think that Woodley is gonna upset Paul here and give him his first lose, then I think it's wise if we put a bet as it's still open now.

Admit it or not, Jake Paul bring casual fans to the arena, so obviously, he will get the biggest share of the cut. Even Showtime's president of sports even acknowledge it.

So they take a risk on Jake Paul now and it seems to be a worth as there are a lot of hype around it. Specially fighting a ex-UFC fighter like Woodley who can give a good fight today. And we all know that this trend has started and will continue to make money for this fighters.

So it's a split decision for Jake Paul, he was hit in the 4th round and I thought that this could go on Woodley. But the two other judges score it for Paul 78-74 and 77-75. Jake Paul was obviously gasses out from 4th round.

Anyhow so the hype train continues, wonder who's next in the table for him, another ex-MMA or retired boxer?

Woodley's technique was awful and Jake Paul's wasn't much better. Paul did enough to win but he showed a lot of flaws. He did not have much defense. His hands were down the entire time. He also doesn't have great stamina. This was his first time going past the second round as a pro fighter and he seemed out of breath halfway through the match.

I expect Paul to keep fighting these overhyped tomato cans until somebody manages to land a lucky punch and knock him out. He is making too much money that there is no need for him to fight a credible opponent.

Woodley had a shot in the 4th round. It looked like he was going to put Jake to sleep for a minute. He never attacked though and slipped into a clinch, letting Jake out of the round. Not the best fight, but Jake still won and the Paul show keeps going.

Paul was exposed in this fight against a guy who can really punch, the fight was too close and yeah the Paul shows will keep going but he needs to pick up a guy who can't punch again, Woodley shows courage even in the last seconds of the fight, even though Paul performance is not that good he keeps his record and satisfy his legion of fans.

WTF with Tyron Woodley? This is really a fixed match, Woodley was aggresive on MMA but in this match is really boring. Most of the times he used for walking around the rings until the times run out. Only on 4th and 7th rounds he often to punches Jake Paul, he just wait and wait Jake Paul punch him first. That's make Jake Paul more dominating than Woodley, it's why he win on this match.

My take in this, Woodley sure hesitate a lot, on the first round he was just able to make 6 shots, and I notice a lot of hesitation on Woodley's part he might have won this and take out Jake Paul but because of that hesitation the better boxer here is Jake Paul, But in my opinion, Jake Paul really upped his performance here, I surely check the Ben Askren fight again and Jake Paul's movements are even better in the Tyron Woodley fight he able to land big punches on the body when combined with a punch on the face I can see that Jake Paul now have a string of punches than the Ben Askren fight, and even though Woodley has landed a big right to Jake Paul he still gets back up again, we can say that Paul has durability in his chin he can withstand a punch from Woodley,

But if only Woodley would notice this and not hesitate the outcome will be Tyron Woodley might win this.

There's a lot of hesitancy in Woodley's move, could be fixed or he doesn't trust his power and is afraid of Paul's power, this is not something that we expect on a former MMA fighter who posses an aggressive move and powerful punch, there's too much hugging going on, boxing and MMA are really too different things, Woodley has the nerve to ask for a rematch when he did not come to fight I don't think there should be a rematch.

well i have a nice win , but after watching the match it just a huge disappointment on woodley.

but if jake paul improve on his stamina , he might have a good run on his boxing career

Yeah, but he didn't follow up, he could have knock out Jake but he let him off the hook. We can see the clear difference between a pure boxer and a MMA here, seems that the only way for Woodley to win is to take him down, hehehe.

Regardless, I agree that Jake was exposed, he is tired and his punch doesn't have a pop from round 5. The problem with Woodley is that he has no activity as well, between he gasses out also.

Exactly, we can see the huge difference here. There will be no rematch, both of them really didn't do that good except on the fourth round. After that there's not much action, but hugging each other as both are very tired and not used to it. Not sure if this is fixed but with another win on his belt Jake Paul for sure will call out another shot fighter and make another good money (scam) from the fans.

I think he didn't hesitate on his moves, it's what you called not underestimating your opponent. Even if he was a MMA fighter before doesn't mean he will carelessly attack his opponent because he is superior against Logan Paul when it comes to skills, because anything could go wrong since Logan also knows how to punch and fight, and landing one decent hit on him could make him suffer that could be the reason to lose.

Might as well this fight was rigged for Woodley to act like that to make Logan looks powerful more than him.

I saw that round too, I thought Woodley will go all in on that 4th round but he's not and this is the result of that. Paul did a good job on winning, another record for him and maybe we might see a better Jake Paul on his next match, the show will go on. Jake have to keep on improving, he's on a good position with a hype already, he must look for another match that he's on top again to protect his record and the show of course.

We don't have anything but to see the fight ended and Paul wins and the show for him still up for another one.

Like what others said, Paul was exposed here and if he call for another fighter who knows how to really follow up solid punch he's career
will be ended, a possible KO might happened to him.

Better to choose someone who will agree for money alone and same with Woodley, wait till the fight ends and collect their paychecks.

Just came here to say Woodley shat the bed more than he ever did fighting boring fights with Stephen Thompson. So when we add it all up, it seems that A Youtuber is 2-0 against Duke Ruffus coaching XD This all is an atrocity. If you asked me 4 years ago what the fighting landscape would look like, I'd never think it would be this.

Jake Paul will challenge another veteran boxer with this fight and you're right there's something wrong with the fight today. Obviously, everything was just for entertainment and the last show will come to Jake Paul. If Tyron Woodley was being serious earlier, in the early round you will see some best power punches in boxing history but what can he do, I think what's matters today is the money he can get after the fight.

Jake Paul remains undefeated, I think what everyone expected is what happen in the fight, it was a close one because it ended in a split decision and I believe thus far, this was the toughest fight of Jake Paul. Congratulations to him, another big-money he made here, I think it's okay to relax for the rest of the year and just come back next year for another fight.

He remains the king, and he will have an exhibition next year as he had again dominated the fight. his record is improved to 4-0 (https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/912383) but his last win not via KO anymore, so the streak is broken and I hope next fight, it will be against a tougher boxer, tougher than Tyron Woodley.

Another fight spoiled by money. It was predicted that this fight would go that way. Woodley wont allow Jake to Ko him, but due to cheque, he ended this fight with split decision.
Now lets wait for another joke fight against former ufc fighter. Jake will continue to humiliate mma, till he will be offered a multi million fight under ufc rules, gets his ass kicked, but will go back home super rich.

A better Jake Paul? That argument will be valid if he will face a "real boxer" on his next match.

Yes, he's new to boxing too but some new boxers faced a real boxer on their way up. His professional stint is more of an exhibition match rather than a professional match. Another easy money for Jake Paul and Woodley if you know what I mean. :)

This is the boxing generation today. More on money compared to title and reputation. Kudos to those real professional boxers.

Jake Paul will never fight a professional boxer, he always looks who he would fight to ensure that he has the advantage to win the fight. It's a new generation of boxing where money is more important than honor, exhibition fights could potentially kill the revenue of the real fight as people are consistently patronizing exhibition fights, so why would a fighter try a harder journey if they can make it in exhibition fights.

Exactly, but it is all about the money. Jake Paul will fight probably another UFC or MMA star but will never fight a retired boxer as he would get his ass kicked.
But I do think, it will not kill the revenue of real fights. There is a certain group that likes to watch exhibtion matches but a bigger group that likes to watch real boxing matches featuring Wilder, Fury or Joshua.

Man, if you don't enjoy it then don't watch it because you're stressing yourself over worthless things, of course money's the king in this kind of matches, it has always been that way in this kind of matches because no sane or respectable person wants to join this clown fest without any considerable offering.

They do because there's entertainment value on it and people are buying it.

Anyway, congratulations to Jake, he has won again. Who's going to be the next contender for his show?

Im not trying to stress myself or anybody. But these kind of fights plagues other sports. Now in mma, a lot of fighters dont want to fight, because in that exhibition fights they can earn 10x time more. Why get your head punched for 10k, when you can let Jake Paul punch it for 100-200k?
Now everyone wants to “get paid like that guys from boxing”.

If Jake Paul fights Woodley again then he will win again. Woodley does not throw enough punches to win a decision and his only chance would be to knock Jake out but because Jake is the younger man he could circle the ring and pick his punches just how he did this time. I am not interested in the rematch and I am not interested in the fight with Tommy Fury. I think Jake Paul beats Tommy Fury too. I think Jake Pauls stock despite winning went down with that fight. He looked hurt on a couple of occasions and people got to see that he does not have a good gas tank and only lasted the 8 rounds because Woodley was not doing anything but throwing 1 punch combos. If he goes against a boxer that throws a lot more punches than Woodley did then he will be in trouble. Tommy Fury might beat him but it is not a interesting fight because I do not think Jake or Fury is capable of knocking each other out and it would go to a decision again.

I did enjoy the fight because Woodley at a chance of knocking him out and I do think the punch which sent Jake Paul into the ropes should have been ruled as a knock down because it was only the ropes holding him up. What was weird is Woodley did not go for the kill and instead allowed Jake Paul time to recover.

^ I don’t think there will be a rematch. There’s nothing in it for Jake Paul. He needs to keep rising and proving himself against better boxers. Obviously Woodley wants a rematch, as this was the biggest payday of his fighting career. Even if he gets the tattoo, not gonna happen.

It is very true, some of these MMA fighters are now switching their profession because of the possible purse they can get in boxing.
And with the fight with Jake Paul, Woodley's manager said that "they should walk away with a multi-million dollar payday."

https://www.sportskeeda.com/mma/news-how-much-tyron-woodley-getting-paid-fight-jake-paul

Not bad for an exhibition fight, right? Considering that we are still in the pandemic crisis.
This is why some MMA fighters are now getting interest in the world of boxing, maybe thinking that they can get easy money staging a fight.

Jake Paul could always move on and give another veteran fighter an opportunity to fight him, but of course with the assurance that he will win. That fight was clean, not scripted IMO, Jake Paul is just smart to use his length though the difference is not that big, he learns how to manage the situation to be smart in the ring and bring the win, reason why he is still undefeated until now.

This was not so terrible to watch like other similar circus fights by Jake Paul, but sometimes I just don't understand points judges are giving in boxing and I don't think this should be split decision fight.
Hurts to say this, but youtuber is a better boxer than Woodley, maybe hometown crowd helped him with support, and if this was octagon ring result would be much different, but money earned would be much less also, and that was the whole point of this fight  :D

If there is much hype for the rematch then Jake Paul might consider it because all they look is the stats and the trends and that way they can make more money and that will be their ultimate goal and i am expecting Tyron Woodley to call out Logan Paul if Jake Paul does not give him the rematch and things will be interesting and i am expecting the drama to continue :D .

After this fight, it's now Conor's term to call for Paul, so the drama will continue as he still undefeated and speaking out for money this one might gain more attentions, he loves calling UFC fighter, and now Conor wants to take him.

Though we don't know yet if he will consider giving Woodley a rematch, but for sure he will take another fight, the eyes of his promoters will most likely to where the big cash will come out.

Waiting for any update. For now, let him rest and enjoy all the money that he and Woodley shared after the fight.

I am sure all who bet on Jake must have filled their bags. Jake was on fire from the beginning. The fight was really interesting to watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6YQSMQcV7M. Woodly was defending often then hitting where as Jake was just on his toe to keep hitting Woodly. Yes Woodly as well had given few strong hits at his 5 th or 6th round. Seriously it was really amazing. Yes Jake has finally own.

Because the second after this punch he remembered, than he can go out from the ring as a winner, or as a rich person. After than punch all Jake did was running till last bell.

I still want to watch what Woodley would do to a guy from Jakes team that insulted his mom.

It seems to me that Paul's next exhibition fight, if there's any, his asking price will be much higher than this match definitely. Wow, he just upgraded his level in terms of purse earnings. But he should choose opponent which is really worth to watch and popular among boxing fans. Or will be another MMA fighter on the line? He is becoming rich because of these exhibition fights, guess, he will continue this while there are still fans buying his PPV.

This just happened after Paul's win against Woodley

Tommy Fury in confrontation with Jake Paul after YouTube star's win over Tyron Woodley (https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/boxing/tommy-fury-confrontation-jake-paul-24865992)


The deal could possibly happen but I don't think Fury is an attractive opponent I'm sure Jake Paul will relax take a rest and pick who he will fight next of course he will choose fighters that are past their primes to give them a chance to earn big bucks.

Nobody will be interested in a rematch and it seems Paul is not interested to do it, he already told Woodley that he already had his chance, he will take a rest and announce who he will fight next, I'm sure it will be a much better fighter that will draw more crowds and PPV I don't think Connor is a candidate he is not fully healed yet and there's a big discrepancy in size, maybe Nate Diaz is next we never know until they announce it.

As expected, Jake Paul won adding another winning to his clean record against not a boxer.

Who will expect that Woodley will win where in the first place as he doesn't have any boxing experience?

The only way if possible for Woodley to win is by Knock Out only. Who's probably the next opponent of Jake Paul's another entertainment boxing (not professional lol)?

But it won't probably happen as Jake would certainly look for another opponent that he can fight with and win again. Knowing that the sport they're playing is boxing, most fans are on it because of the joy and fun and not because it's interesting to watch just as the pro-matches.
And as we know with Jake's style, hopefully, he's going to choose a pro-boxer for which he can really prove himself after this match. It's just going with MMA fighters, basketball players, and other sports athletes not with a pro-boxer.

Interesting if he will choose a retired professional boxer for next bout. Can he survive if it is real boxer in front of him? Because it seems, he's making a run out of these MMA fighters.  ;D  How about Mayweather? If his brother lost from Mayweather, can he win this time over Mayweather, and ruin the "0" record of Mayweather?

I read Mayweather said after the bout against his older brother that he will not do something like this again, but we never know he is the money man where the money is he'll go for it, the Jakes are getting better and they are the most successful Youtuber turned exhibition fighters, it's time for MMA fighters and up and coming boxers to try to become Youtube influencers to generate more fans and command a good price, in terms of revenues these Youtubers are beating professional boxers.

We have to get used to this one because many Jake Paul will come to boxing and fight even if they are on a different league because money is calling them. The match though is still entertaining because they are throwing real punches here and Paul has improve a lot but still money will always be matter here.

Looking for the next fight of Jake Paul, this could be an easy one or a more serious matches. I heard they are already working on the next fight and I see another good fighter showing some sign that he will fight Paul, it may be too early to discuss but the hype is still with Paul so that could be a good opportunity. 

The fight was really close in papers but if you watched the match i thought Jake Paul won the fight even though one of the judge is making it hard by giving the scores to Tyron Woodley but i though Jake Paul won it fair and square but Tyron Woodley had his moments in the fight when he rocked Jake Paul but Jake was fighting smart to earn the decision.

Jake Paul is now claiming that he is retired from boxing. I'm not sure I take him seriously but if he is telling the truth then I hope this is the last we will see of these freak show fights. He has made more than enough money to retire comfortably and now he can focus on more serious business endeavors.

That's just a reflection of how much he won, don't doubt his equal capacity to stupidly spend way too much on stuff and have bills to pay.   I predict a fight lined up next year for him just from all the people around him who also want a pay day from it and its too easy not to collect, he'd be a fool to quit that money right now when somehow he gets paid big for not even getting to the top just from already having some fame.   I thought he'd get knocked out tbh, hard to predict these fights when proper form isn't there really.

Hard also to predict these fights if there is no proper basis and we can look at them before betting. It's like betting based on popularity. The fight should not even organized originally in the first place if there's no trash talk happened between these two on a club or maybe intentional.

I will never place a bet on this match but just want to watch it there's a free coverage of this lol.

In every sport or game that are available on betting sites, it's really hard to predict, otherwise, we will be killing the bookies. We have the odds, and although we know which fighter would likely win if you bet you will not get the best odds.

Just like this one, Jake Paul won but his odds to win is only -190, which means bet $190 to win $100.

I know that, there's a lot difference rules and technical things between MMA and Boxing. Even Woodley is new about boxing, but that's not mean he not learn or prepared to beat Jake Paul.

He's not a boxer, actually this is his first match on boxing career.

Lol indeed it's a joke https://twitter.com/jakepaul/status/1432472158341681156
He will not retired until he become billionaire or can't find any fighter with no boxing experience to fight with him :P

Nope, I don't think that this will be the last of them, as long as they can make money and fans are willing to buy their tickets, then this will continue. And sports network stations are now willing to invest on them like Showtime, most likely the money grab will continue as this is business.

Those money are not enough for them, their lifestyles have change because of the millions they make. So they need to sustain this lifestyle through fighting or entertainment.

These fights are easy to predict. Just bet on the fighter who has got more friends/followers/subscribers in social media. Because if he loses, nothing gonna change at all, but if he wins, there will be a next fight with higher stakes. This is just unprofitable for everyone if these clown lose.

I guess but when you get 2 boxers who really aren't boxers who knows what's gonna happen.  It's nothing more than a 50/50 shot in my eyes.  Ypu can't arguably defend betting against one vs the other.

Promoters will find other ways to attached fans with this kind of exhibition fights, they will check every possibility to sort those fighters that have a huge fan base crowd, the target is to make more money and let this clowns to perform in front of them.

Money always matters and if the price is right, the fighters are ready to perform. I don't see any reason for this to stop unless no interest that shown up.

Who's going to fight next? rematch or another UFC legend ?

I really hope this is true and that this is the end of these kind of fights because quite honestly I do not really see how those fights help boxing at all, I still watched the fight so you may say that I'm part of the problem, and maybe you are right, but these kind of gimmicky fights is not what the fans want to see, we want to see unification fights, we want to see champions to stop dancing around and avoid the best challenger that they can face, something that is very common in this day and age.

In my personal opinion, Jake Paul is the best in this case, not to detract from Tyron, but this time Jake Paul has the best preparation, and the statistics quickly point without a doubt in favor of Jake. Pinso that the only way that Tyron could have an advantage is not a born boxer and always in any contact sport those who have the most advantage are the boxers, they tend to have more resistance, their blows are usually much stronger and Tyron his knowledge in fight is distributed In kicks, braces, among others, the ability to punch is not that developed, I think the mission of all this is to give visibility to Jake and obviously the business model that is there.

Agreed.  These fights are rediculous.  The fight itself is terrible if you are an actual boxing fan.  It's like watching an amateur fight.  It's alright if nothing else is on but to actually promote these as prime time boxing events is embarrasing.

The fight is good when it was in the promotional stage as we see a lot of speculation, but in the ring, it's not what we expected as we want some real action where we will see someone who gets knockdown, in this fight, I see Jake Paul playing so safe that's why he was not able to win by KO, and in fact, not all judges were convinced that he won the fight since the result is a split decision.

to be honest, we can't expect toe-to-toe fight from both fighters because in the first place, they are not professional boxers. even some professional boxers resort to boring fight and be technical with things. so what we've seen is really not surprising at all. and from this, jake paul just increased his value in the boxing ring. can he challenge professional boxers next or just keep on challenging previous mma fighters?

It seems that this is true.

We'll know for sure in the future if he's true to what he says but for the meantime, it's likely that there won't be a rematch. So if he have an announcement about his fight in the future then that only means that he lied.

The fight is obviously hype on papers, a lot of trash talking but in the boxing ring it was totally different. This fight shouldn't even go to 8 rounds, should be 6 maximum as both are really tired after the 4th. Shortening the rounds would make them fight on desperation and we might see some knockdowns. And Jake take advantage of the fight, play safe until the final bell and win by UD, so good strategy by him.

He is still undefeated and as long as he keeps on winning he will continue to fight and the ticket sales are still good I don't think he will stop fighting and above all these, there's a lot of money to be made in boxing and it's easy money compared to what real boxers are getting, let's see in a few months if there is no announcement.

He'll only retire after he is knocked out but right now he is still on tracked to make more money.

But according to this article, Jake Paul announces boxing retirement despite teasing future fights. (https://www.dazn.com/en-US/news/boxing/jake-paul-announces-boxing-retirement-despite-teasing-future-fights/87w2ukjknlga17kl7ia4k5ob1)


The article also mentioned a potential clash with Tyson Fury and Conor McGregor.

If either one of the fights are made, this is going to be one of the biggest fights (exhibitions). So I don't think that Jake Paul is done, as long as the money is right, he will continue to fight.

Hehehe this only implies that his talent fee is going up. He is a promoter’s dream and he has potential challengers who are retired MMA fighters or retired athletes from other sports who have a name but in need of money. Tyron an Ben were 2 of them. Also include the retired basketball player hehe.

He already announced today that he is coming out of retirement. So it was all just a publicity stunt and the circus will continue. Your probably right about what type of opponent he is seeking for his next fight. After almost getting dropped by Woodley there is no chance he fights a real boxer unless it's somebody as inexperienced like Tommy Fury.

It's been 2 days after the fight so I will close the thread and someone can open a new one when the next opponent is determined.
