Anderson Silva vs Jake paul who you bet on?

[nakamura12]

I think you misunderstood what I've said because I don't recall that I've said somewhere nor I compared Jake Paul to a much more experienced fighter/boxer with a great record and still in his prime, and I won't even assume that you mean Anderson Silva by that because he's not in his prime anymore. We also have to understand that Silva will be fighting in the ring against a young boxer in his own sport and not in the octagon, I'm not saying too that Silva doesn't stand a chance, but his chances are quite lower than Jake Paul's.

I think it's you who misunderstood my point. I didn't say that you said it. My point is that you are right that jake paul has improved but his skills is not the same as the veteran which has more experience but the veterans body is not the same as Jake Paul which is young that's why I too would say that Jake Paul has more chance compared to silva and silva also have chance since he is more skilled fighter. I am sure you get my point now. I am not saying that silva is still in his prime and what I meant by that is if they both fight and silva is still in his prime but have all the skills he have now as a veteran which is my point. In short (in silva's POV), your chance of winning against me will be low if my body is in my prime but don't forget that even though I am not in my prime but I have my skills (just an example by the way and don't assume that it is silva's word just making an example of my point).

I go on Anderson Silva  The dude has good boxing and he will train and be in good condition for fight.
There is no reason Silva shouldn't beat him.

500$ on Silva.

Still too early to predict , I assume that your 500 bet is the only funds you will release in this fight so yeah you can confidently say that it is an amount you can spend or risk , on the other hand I am betting in both but like yours  will put High for Anderson , because I cannot predict who will win here because both has a potential to defeat each other.

I probably won't bet this fight because I have no idea who will win.  Anderson Silva is clearly the better and more established fighter, but he's old...  Jake has age and likely supplements on his side, so for me this is a risky fight for Anderson Silva while also being one hell of a payday.  I can see why he didn't want to turn this fight down.  Win or lose I suspect it'll be the last time he enters the ring.  Personally, I'd like to see Jake get knocked out and I'd hate to see Anderson Silva get knocked out, so I probably have too much emotion on the line to add money to it.  I'll watch the fight though and hope for the best.  Old man power better be on display.

Safe way mate , not unless you are a fan of one so at least putting small amount will do.

I probably won't bet this fight because I have no idea who will win.

Yes, so the best thing to do is not to bet on this fight.

Anderson Silva is clearly the better and more established fighter, but he's old...  Jake has age and likely supplements on his side, so for me this is a risky fight for Anderson Silva while also being one hell of a payday.  I can see why he didn't want to turn this fight down.  Win or lose I suspect it'll be the last time he enters the ring.  

But if you look at it, Silva has a good fighting stance and I would say a good boxer and he has the experience to beat Jake Paul but the age difference though.

Personally, I'd like to see Jake get knocked out and I'd hate to see Anderson Silva get knocked out, so I probably have too much emotion on the line to add money to it.  I'll watch the fight though and hope for the best.  Old man power better be on display.

Who wouldn't like to see him at least touching the canvass for the first time if I'm not mistaken. But it will be a big task for Anderson, but he will have to test the chin of Jake Paul and see how strong it is.

[Vaculin]

Still can't wait to see this fight.  Really hoping that Silva is training his ass off right now and ready to TKO Jake Paul when the time comes. 

That being said, did you guys see how arguably the greatest fighter to ever live called out Jake Paul and Jake admitted he stood no chance against this fighter and that he wouldn't be entertaining a fight against him?  If not check it out here - https://www.youtube.com/shorts/pwKMB_2a_LA

 

Lol! He will eat Jake Paul alive if he will agree to fight the greatest fighter to ever live up to this point, there's no way Jake Paul will win if that fight happens. My money goes for him alone! Anyway, back to the fight, I'm already excited how would they play perform on this fight, will Jake Paul crack Silva in the ring? Or is it the other way around?

That is a sight that I also love to see but we know that it's not that simple and as you guys are discussing above, it's much better to enjoy and watch the fight rather than betting on it because I doubt that there's a winner here. Silva is much adored and respected by Jake Paul so that is a sign and Jake Paul won't agree to lose because he is also building his career. That said, we might see a draw here, although that is just an speculation but I think that will happen.

[Baofeng]

This is how Jake Paul is hype about this fight, he is very positive that they can make at least 700,000 PPV buys.

“I do think this will be the biggest pay-per-view (of my career),” Paul told MMA Junkie. “I would say, yeah, I would be happy with anywhere from 300-500,000 (purchases), but I think it can get all the way up to 600 or 700,000, depending on how the fight week goes and the promotion and if ‘All Access’ performs well. I think this could be the biggest one for sure.”

For the record, Canelo vs GGG was just a shade over 1 million buys.

So I don't know if this fight can go as high as 500,000 buys to be honest. And for me, it could top 200,000-300,000 even though his dance partner here is the legend of MMA.

I've seen multiple people claiming that Jake Paul is using steroids now. Is there any merit to that or is that just something people do when someone in the fighting business has some degree of success?

I can't remember who said it now, but they claimed that from his amateur fights to his first pro fight he put on a unimaginable amount of muscle. To me, he looked like he toned up more than put a massive amount of muscle on. He also cut his body fat percentage quite significantly which gives the impression of being bigger, due to the muscles bulging rather sitting under a layer of fat.

After his fights he pretty much goes back to his normal body weight, like a lot of professional fighters do. Going by face value, I imagine the claims are unsubstantiated.

i believe it stemmed to his beef with dana white. because paul is challenging white to take cocaine test. and white is challenging paul to take steroid test. as dana white is accusing paul of using steroids and can't sell PPVs. whereas, paul is calling for better payout and healthcare for UFC fighters. don't know what happened with their challenge though. but paul got cleared and has negative results with all banned substances.

Jake Paul’s steroid tests leaked amid Dana White drug challenge

but recently, paul is calling White again for a bet with this upcoming fight with Silva. he is also claiming white owed him $1M from Askren's bet.

Well it's really hard to say unless there are proof of it, like VADA or any anti doping body caught him like in the blood or urine samples they have to voluntarily subject.

But then again, are there any body involved in this fight? I'm not sure, if Silva has also been positive as well in the past during his MMA days.

Can anyone confirm if VADA is on top of this fight or not?

Does exhibition or such close-to-a-professional fight even gets any kind of testing? I mean what for? This is not a real fight, but more an entertainment event. For spectators, it does not matter if one of the fighters use steroid; they would even accept steroids usage, because that will make fight more challenging, exciting, entertaining. People dont go to see this (or buy PPV) to find out who is stronger or better boxer. They are there to see how "ma boy is doing".

I searched a little bit about exhibition matches and what rules applied to them.
So I found in this one article - What is an exhibition fight in boxing?

https://www.sportstiger.com/news/no-judges-check-out-6-interesting-rules-of-floyd-mayweather-vs-logan-paul-exhibition-boxing-match


From the above rules, you can really conclude that they are not worth betting as mostly they won't proclaim the official winner.
Most of the time, they ruled it as a draw. So yes, whatever they do to their body won't really matter at all.
Because it is seen as just pure entertainment and fun, and possibly helping a charity organization, they are more relax with the rules and vary from one match to another.

[TopTort777]

I know what exhibition boxing fights are. I am just not quite sure if they do any kind of testing before fight. Because their goal is to entertain, but not to find out who is better. If a spectators wants to see 2 boxers fights, he will go to a professional boxing fight night event. But in this event, the crown would love to see jacked by steroid king kong Jake Paul and fast as mongoose jacked Silva (not claiming, just an example).

[Peanutswar]

This game is already in favour of the experienced guy which is silva we know the reason why jake paul woold like to offer a fight with different fighters just to get a lot of popularity at the same time is content, but of course, this is a match of sports anything can happen and for me to make a safe bet I prefer with silva than Jake paul, if you want a yolo gameplay with the higher odds it is ideal to make a bet for Jake paul.

I don't really know where did Jake Paul got his information because he really thought that his fight against Anderson Silva might be the biggest one or at least one of the biggest PPV-buys. 700,000 PPV? Canelo vs GGG got 1.06 Million buys but that is not enough to get their fight on the top charts. Biggest PPV-buy in the history was the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight which was dubbed as the fight of the century garnering 4.6 Million buys.

I hope you guys are referring a different bout and didn't forgot that this fight is not an exhibition match because I think this is Silva's 3rd professional fight in boxing with a 2-0 record, he defeated Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Tito Ortiz. But as you guys said above, it's no use betting in these kind of fights too because there is a big chance that it will just end up with a draw.

Also, Silva said that he is looking forward that he will fight Jake Paul in a kickboxing match next. Is this already included in their contract?

[usekevin]

May be Silva is the experienced player with huge statics.But we can defend the particular game on a particular day.It’s like,we can’t say the batsmen will score 100 on a particular day.The day defend the game of particular day of the players.So same will happen in the case of Silva and a Paul.Paul May ready to face the experienced player like Silva.Silva should overcome the over confidence against Paul.Paul should increase the skill to face the experienced player then him.We was eager to have a look of this game with some eagerness in all the people mind.Paul is my friend favourite player,he will bet on Paul,when this game come for the bet in the sportsbet.Because the player faith is important one.Silva Will had his signature move as compared to the next person involved in the game.Paul should not get into cases for doing this casino.

[Balmain]

When you say they both know how to box. Isn't Jake Paul's main job being a boxer anyway?

Anderson Silva is really one of the GOAT in the UFC he is a good striker, I agree with that. but cage and just boxing are really different. The age gap is also a big factor, and let me also point out that even if Anderson Silva was at his best, he couldn't beat Jake Paul in a boxing match, so it's clear where I'm going to spend my money.

In case you didn't know, Silva already had two victories last year in professional boxing matches. He defeated the former middleweight champion,
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and knocked out the HOF Tito Ortiz too. He might be old but we can't yet consider that as a disadvantage nor a factor on this fight against Jake Paul who haven't yet boxed any legit boxer. Anyway, your money your rules

True, Anderson may be passed his prime but his opponent can still be considered a novice in boxing since Jake Paul opponents are not really a boxer but washed-out athletes of different sports.  So that evens out the score.  The only worrying thing about Jake Paul is that he has a knockout power which can be devastating if Silva is unable to absorb those power punches.  Regardless if Silva can evade heavy blows then I might think that Silva has a better chance of winning, unless the fight is scripted  .

[qwertyup23]

I'd bet on Jake just because he's the one who initiated this fight and for his previous bouts against MMA legends, he won those with questionable performances from his enemies. Might be the same outcome in here if Silva is motivated only by money, which somewhat shows on some interviews that were done to him. +100 isn't also a bad odd to bet on considering that Jake Paul is also a capable boxer in his own regard. If skills and grit I'd say Silva, but again this is a Paul initiated fight and that should suggest you something.

I would bet otherwise- even if Anderson Silva is at least 45 years old, experience will take you further compared to someone who is relatively new to this sport.

Anderson Silva is known by many as a legend in UFC. He is a former middleweight champion and his techniques are surprisingly deadly. Though he is against a 25+ year old with more stamina, he can outsmart Jake Paul with his experience and training from all the fights that he'd experience on the field. Not to mention, just one grapple and the fight could be over in an instant.

Of course, this is all situational but if I were to bet my money, I would most likely go all in for Anderson Silva.
