[Boxing] Jake Paul vs Andre August - December 15th in Florida

[Yamifoud]

So, after Jake Paul's impressive performance against the popular sports personality Nate Diaz, he chooses to fight an unknown boxer? It doesn't make sense because if Jake Paul wants more money, he should at least look for a tougher opponent, someone decent that would get the fans' interest. What's his goal here? Is he just trying to boost his win record?

I think he should go for a rematch against Tommy Fury, the boxer who beat him via split decision. That would be more interesting than this reported fight.

Is he just trying to boost his win record?

Obviously, that's the case since he is also the promoter he can pick any fighter just to inflate his records and preferably his knockout numbers this is a short plan for a long strategy, he is planning to have a World title fight and he wants to have a good number, so he picked this kind of opponent

I think he should go for a rematch against Tommy Fury, the boxer who beat him via split decision. That would be more interesting than this reported fight.

He should do that but he is afraid to get beaten again if he gets beaten that would be the end of his career and his appeal in PPV he may opt for a rematch once he accumulates wins to make the second fight more attractive on PPV and he can only do that if he is in the winning trail.

while a rematch with Tommy makes sense, Jake may not be prepared for it and Tommy just fought with KSI last month who also won.
if jake wants to fight someone who is popular i think he should fight a youtuber as well. but this won't add value to his record. he needs a real boxer but also someone that he knows has more than 50% rate of winning. he found one in the name of Andre August.

if there is one thing that Jake helped in combat sports is that Dana still signed Tony Ferguson in a UFC contract regardless of his age because Dana doesn't want him to fight Jake.

if there is one thing that Jake helped in combat sports is that Dana still signed Tony Ferguson in a UFC contract regardless of his age because Dana doesn't want him to fight Jake.

That's likely going to happen, of course, Tony Ferguson if offered a good prize will likely take Jake's Paul offer, and it will be a scourged on Dana White because Jake Paul wants to accumulate UFC fighters to knock out and that's something Dana White avoid, but he can't stop that there will be former UFC champion who will take Paul's offer because prize money is bigger than what UFC is offering.

Dana has become a victim of his own game by paying his fighters less than what they should be taking they opted to fight fighters like Paul even if they lack the training and experience of a boxer and so far Jake Paul has zero losses against these UFC former champions.

[Synchronice]

An opponent with no name recognition? And Jake Paul against such an opponent? His marketing plans have probably changed. It looks like right now he choose a respectable opponent for his skill levels.
This match definitely financially benefits Andre August ten times more than Jake Paul and I bet he will be tougher opponent than Tommy Fury was. He decided to fight real boxers instead of celebrities, his plan is really very interesting, I wouldn't expect him fighting people with no name recognition. At least I was expecting someone more popular. It will really be a very interesting match. Jake Paul is the only Youtuber that I admit worth to watch, this guy is genuinely trying to become a boxer and build a career while wisely collects millions of dollars profits and donates to his non-profit boxing organization.

I watched Jake Paul’s newest YouTube video and there was some mention by him that he’s not trying to secure paydays anymore and that’s why this opponent is who he is. He’s trying to fight pros with more experience so he can continue learning and moving towards a legitimate title fight. That explains why he’s fighting a guy who is currently employed as an Uber driver.

And that is what he is really saying all along even at the start of his exhibitions match career. He is a big guy and fighting at CW but it doesn't mean he can just go fight a pro boxer and steam roll on them and then governing bodies will give him a good rankings.

It's not that easy and looking at how he is late to chase his boxing dreams. But nevertheless, he is pursuing it so we have to gave it to him because not going to be an easy road. So slowly he is picking fighters like August, to really get as much experience as he can and maybe in the next fight he will be looking for a tougher opponent or at least a high tier boxer.

Lol. You got me there with your serious opening. That's a funny one!

As funny as Jake Paul. But he must have his reasons for fighting against a nobody but has a longer professional record in boxing. At least he's fighting what everybody can consider as a real boxer even if he's just driving Uber outside his fights. At least when Jake Paul is defeated he could proudly say that's in the hands of a real boxer rather than a celebrity boxer like Tommy Fury.

[famososMuertos]

Influencers and social networks decide their destiny in the musical field, not old businessmen.  For example.

In the equivalent, this Influencer is doing it in just 3 years, what takes even a boxer his entire life has taken this guy a couple of years.

We don't just see it with him, every time they want they organize an event and start fighting among themselves, with a record of in-person and online audiences that the organizers of traditional boxing events would like.

On the other hand, this guy continues in his show (creating content) and giving the opportunity to boxers who never in his life thought about having a fight like the one that is being organized.

However, it seems that in the short term it will not be possible for him to fight for a professional boxing title, but does he need it?

To this whole show we must add a "social-economic" nuance that the Pauls add, and rightly so in how boxers are treated in terms of their economic benefits.  Another story, but one that the Pauls handle well.

[FinneysTrueVision]

A 35 year old club fighter who has fought mostly guys with losing records is the type of opponent I would expect a young novice fighting 4 rounders would fight. Jake Paul has been a pro long enough that he should at least be fighting some fringe contenders. There are plenty of faded eastern european former champions with some name recognition that would be more suitable opponents.

They are trying to spin this in a positive way by saying that Canelo and Crawford fought guys with really poor records in their ninth fight but the comparison is ridiculous because those guys were very young, Canelo was only 16 in his ninth fight. Loma and Inoue already fought multiple world champions in their ninth fight but they don't make that comparison because it's obviously stupid.

Jake isn't trying to build a legitimate career. He is cherry picking an easy opponent with the hope of getting a highlight reel KO and perhaps people will be dumb enough to fall for this farce that it will convince them to throw $80 down the toilet next time he fights a has been UFC fighter on PPV.

No one said the work was supposed to be hard. Thats also a good point just to be fair to Jake. He was just enjoying his time at Disney when he was 16 while petting Selena and Ariana Grande.  But when it comes to making money with his fights, the guy is a genius and I suppose anyone could give it to him because even the big names are already coming forward following his steps.

He should be asking Pacman, that guy is legendary and very sportsman who will still be fighting as long as people watch. As old as he is though he is very quick still with his jabs.

It seems to me that this will be a fight in which Andre August, who is not yet very well known, will become very well known in the event of a victory, which is why I see Andre August coming much more motivated to win this fight so that his name gains a lot attention, while on Jack's side he is seeking attention in the sense that he can be a boxer capable of facing other professional boxers. he should look for stronger and more popular guys and beat them if he wants to be known as a very strong boxer.


I thought bookmakers would add this fight so people can place bets and but I look at the stakes and I didn't see this fight listed, from what I can see bookmakers don't want to get involved with fights that don't show signs of seriousness, fights in which the fighters don't take themselves very seriously. but bookmakers keep adding friendly football games and we all know that in friendly football games, team coaches don't put their best players on most of the time, but even so, bookmakers put these games on so that people can bet on them.

That's why I don't understand why this fight isn't added to the stake, could it be that other bookmakers have added this fight so that people can place bets? And is anyone here going to place a bet on this fight and who are they going to bet on? I won't make any bets, but I'm more inclined to think that Andre August can come out victorious in this fight. he seems to me to have a chance of winning

That's one thing with Jake Paul though, he has come a long way, and I do agree that he is somewhat of a genius. This idea of exhibition matches just pop on his mind and then he takes advantage of his social media status and then his fight is really a money earner for him. And then he established a company to make it more legit and so it's easy to manage the fights and obviously the profits.

He should be asking Pacman, that guy is legendary and very sportsman who will still be fighting as long as people watch. As old as he is though he is very quick still with his jabs. 

Manny though is small for him, during Pacman's prime, he fight at 147 lbs and as high as 154 lbs. Although if I remember it correctly, he even didn't make that super welter weight when he fought Margarito. Jake Paul is Cruiserweight, so that's around 190 lbs. Unless they will fought on a catchweight, but for sure Jake Paul will be drain on that fight and so even if Manny has retired already, he will have a good chance to knock him out.

I'm sure the fight will be listed on sportsbooks eventually. There are plenty of low level fights you can bet on so there is no reason to exclude this one. I won't be betting on this fight but I consider it easy money if you're picking Jake Paul. His opponent is an Uber driver. Oftentimes, the terms "cab driver" and "Uber driver" are used as slang terms for fighters of low quality but Jake Paul's opponent is a literal full-time Uber driver. It's as obvious of a cherry pick as you are going to see. The odds will likely be very wide in Jake's favor, that's why I don't find it an attractive bet.

[pinggoki]

Is this real? I haven’t heard anything about it, which would be odd for a Jake Paul fight. I’ve never heard of his opponent either. I guess maybe Jake is trying to get another win on his record. Pretty common for fighters to do that sort of thing on their way to a lot of wins, but Jake typically fights known people so this is a little out of character.

I was gonna say you probably haven't heard of this fight because you're not following him on his social media accounts but I've checked his YouTube channel and there's no videos posted about it which is weird given how bombastic and loud Jake Paul is, Jake's doing what Floyd Mayweather do but in a simpler way, Floyd fights great fighters on their twilight years and I think that's how they differ because Jake Paul don't seem to have any plans doing that anytime soon and boxing right now is a corrupt organization so it's easy to pick fighters that you can defeat if you've got the money for bribery.

As expected most punters are backing Paul who is also promoting the fight.
I have seen videos of August in training and I’m not very impressed, he looks slow and lacking power.

Paul might make it an early night if he chooses, could be lights out for August early on. I will wait for the over-under to come out before making a prediction.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

It’s nearly fight night now, as expected Jake Paul is a big favourite. He’s 1.16 @ sportsbet.io - https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/boxing/international/international-matchups/paul-jake-v-august-andre-6555e41f0a6c9500018762fa

The press conference is tomorrow and the fight is December 15th.

A couple days out from this fight and I’ve seen almost no promotion for it. Surely this can’t be good for Jake’s career unless we see another spectacular knockout. Only reason I remembered this fight was even happening was that Jake Paul is on social media today saying he’s a bigger name in fighting than Conor McGregor, which is delusional.

It's probably because this is not a PPV, that's why almost no promotion on this fight. Although DAZN will be the exclusive platform for US and some countries and the Sky channel in United Kingdom.

And based on the odds, Paul is going to win this fight. What's interesting is that after this fight, who will be his next opponent?

This is just a tune up fight for him, maybe rematch with Tom Furry for bigger money.

When you have a name in boxing and you lose, you usually cherry-pick a fight to get you back in contention and this is what Jake is doing now but unfortunately against an opponent who has no chance of beating and definitely will suffer a knockout, so Jake Paul can shout out and call out Tommy Fury for a rematch, this is too easy to analyze, it's a business decision to fight a very weak opponent to show how strong he still is.
This is a predictable fight on who will win but I still want to know what round Jake will knock out Andre and how he will deliver the knockout.
