[Boxing] Jake Paul vs Ben Askren on April 17

[SaShiRaJaVu]

How can you call him a star when he was just a youtube sensation and fighting non boxers? I disagree that we should have star in an exhibition match. They are just after the big pay check they can get, not about their legacy.

Jake Paul and his brother Logan Paul are super stars because they can put seats when they do something and that is not a thing that everyone can do. If you call them boxers then i do have a disagreement as they are smart enough to fight these high profile exhibition fights with individuals that has nothing to do with boxing and yet they are able to hype the fight up and make millions of dollars and you should not expect them to fight legit boxers instead they will make money they way they are doing now.

Rumours of Tommy Fury Vs Jake Paul which I'll be a little more interested in watching honestly. Hopefully not on Triller....

After having a night to sleep on it, I think this entire event was the biggest shit show I’ve ever seen. I enjoyed it a lot, but only because it was a train wreck that was unable to be looked away from. The announcers, the fighters, the ring girls, all totally clueless. Looked like everyone involved had fun though, except maybe the guy who elbowed himself in the nuts and tried to blame his opponent.

Being on more shit shows!

It was entertaining for how bad it was at times, but I still watched the UFC over it during the singing which seemed to go on for absolutely ages. It was almost a concert inbetween fights. I think they probably did a lot of PPVs, and this sort of format could become mainstream, but I'm not a huge fan of the format, and would prefer the UFC format, or traditional Sky Sports boxing events where its just fights, and promo.

I was curious who Tommy Fury is, so I read the article (https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/14692074/jake-paul-tommy-fury-fight-tyson-michael-hunter/) to confirm about the rumor and also discover that Tommy Fury is the half brother of Tyson Fury, so this is great as Tyson could teach his brother on how to win the fight.

He'll naturally get hype just because he's related to Tyson, but hes done semi decent. Personally, I don't think he's been given particularly challenging opponents, but I can't blame him for it. He's beat what's been put in front of him. I would like to think someone like him would easily put away Jake Paul though. So, it might not turn into an interesting fight for a neutral fan.

Wow, this guy (Tommy) is also a pro, this would be a great match.

His record is also impressive, 5 wins (4 KOs), this is pretty decent to match up Jake Paul's talent in boxing, I'd do a bet on this guy took.

More hype would bring more money, maybe these two will be interested and will make this fight realize.

If Tommy Fury is really skilled and talented i do not think Jake Paul will be interested in taking that fight, he will get many opponents that does not have the boxing skills and why should he take the difficult path and as long as he can make money boxing nobodies in the sweet science he will do so and he is smart enough to hand pick his opponents that will interest the audience as well.

Well, he already made a lot of money in his previous fights, time for him to challenge himself against a fighter with a good chance of beating him, we will know the update of this rumor soon, let's give Jake Paul a time to celebrate on his recent win.

It'll more likely be on Triller, though they could do a cross-platform deal I guess. This is much more a sign-of-the-times online streaming fight than a TV PPV as Tommy Fury is probably still more known for being on Love Island or just the brother of Tyson than his boxing career. Tommy Fury doesn't have that big of a draw yet and Jake Paul is invested with Triller so I'd be surprised if it wasn't at least on their platform. Frank Warren has at least shown interest so it could certainly happen. I think Jake Paul is going to get a shock once he steps into the ring with a proper boxer though so he might want to keep fighting people he will think he can beat. Tommy is still relatively new though and hasn't fought anyone notable yet so maybe Jake will take the shot on this fight.

Yeah, this is the largest takeaway. Tommy is definitely known for his antics inside of love island more than his boxing career. As backed up by a few mentioning here that they hadn't known of him. Hes had a largely unimpressive, and uneventful boxing career. Mainly fighting journeyman, and having no real challenge put in front of him. I can see him being given a nice easy route to build up the hype. Although, Jake Paul is a perfect opportunity, and surely boxing promoters would jump at the chance. It would sell a lot, as it would be yet again UK vs USA, well mainly Everyone vs Jake, but they could at least sell that angle.

Hopefully, I do think Tommy wins it convincingly, but at the end of the day this would be a good option for Jake I'd think. Tommy hasn't really been tested too much, so even us boxing fans don't really know his ceiling, I believe both are around the same height, they both have "celebrity" pasts which would draw in their fans from those. I don't know, just seems the best choice for Jake. Plus, I think if he looks at everyone else on the field, Tommy is probably the less tested out of all of them. He can't pick a lesser opponent than Askren, without at least getting a lot of stick. He has to show that hes at least trying to pick harder opponents, that have experience in boxing to keep up the hype.

I say Jake Vs Fury. Make it happen.
