[Boxing] Jake Paul vs iShowSpeed

[NotATether]

So after Jake Paul beat Mike Tyson a few days ago, a bunch of UFC wrestlers offer to beat him up fight him in the ring.

And then iShowSpeed the streamer comes in and says he could beat this guy in a boxing match if he professionally trained for 6 months.

Then Jake Paul's manager offers him $20 million for the fight. $10m of it if he beats Paul.

Do you guys think this match-up will happen?

Me, personally, I don't think so, but I've seen more outlandish things happen.

Why not? iShowSpeed is one of the top Youtuber right now, so it's just about time that he will like this kind of action and obviously it's for the show and money.

But if I think that he will beat Jake Paul even with a 6 months training? Nah, I doubt it, even if he trains for about a year, he won't.

And I think he is too small for Jake Paul right now, Jake has developed his body to be a heavyweight boxer now.

[Davidvictorson]

In the past few months what I have learned is to never say never. This isn't about the sports anymore but financial gains and popularity and social media followers.

Just like I pitied those who bought tickets to watch Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, I also pity those who would take their hard earned money to every buy tickets to watch two social media influencers fight.

Whatever happened to real fights. Muhammed Ali would be rolling in his grave right now in anger seeing what is about to become of this great sports.

Nope, this match-up wont happen. Because iShowSpeed is not a professional athlete, not a martial artist and not retired What their fight going to be? Exhibition fight? Wasnt Jake interested in professional boxing fights only ? Even if Jake wasnt joking and really is ready to fight iShowSpeed, then in what weigh class it is going to be ? What is iShowSpeed weight it? 70kg or less? In a fight against Tyson, Jake was around 90-95kg. It will take 6 months only for Jake to cut and iShowSpeed to gain to meet somewhere in the middle

And Jake's fighting weight is at CW, between 175 lbs - 200 lbs, he just had to bulk up in this fight because Mike Tyson is a Heawyweight and there are no compromise in weight. So I doubt that this is going to be a fair fight even in paper.

Jake Paul will be seen as bully again here.

So just like the rest of us here, I do not think that this is going to happen, regardless of what is the boxing gloves that they are going to used or the size of the ring. If iShowSpeed wants to fight, it might be against Manny Pacquiao as once he had been in the Philippines and visited Manny, so who knows.

[rdbase]

Haven't heard of this guy before.
Is he a famous streamer of what exactly? Gaming streams or some notorious things you see these new streamers get clout for on some other platforms?
So your OP said $20 million to fight and $10m more if he beats him? So $30 million in total? Or minus $10mln because it tarnishes Jake's record versus streamers?
Only Tommy Fury who was a real boxer has beaten Jake Paul already and actually yesterday has officially announced he will be fighting Darren Till January 18 next year.

Ishowspeed is a very funny guy, of which we all know and a popular YouTuber, streamer and internet personality without any form of either former or informal fighting skill in martial arts or combat sports hence, I doubt even if he is given an entire 1yr to train, he still won't be able to win Jake Paul in the fighting ring. Because apart from the fact that Jake Paul just won Mike Tyson in the just concluded fight which ended few days ago, he has won several fights ever since he started his boxing career in 2018 (i.e 6 good years). However, Jake Paul is still a young and vibrant professional MMA boxer with a unique fighting skill, which will take only someone fast and with a unique fighting skill to defeat him, and not someone like Ishowspeed, an internet joker.

I wouldn’t be completely surprised if this fight actually happens. With the money involved and the buzz it could generate especially with Speed’s massive online following, it could make sense from a business standpoint. Jake Paul has shown that he's willing to fight people from all kinds of backgrounds for the right payoff.

I think the real challenge is whether Speed can make the transition from streaming to professional fighting, which is a lot more complex than just showing up and throwing punches. So, while it's a fun idea to entertain, I'm with you on this one, this match seems unlikely, but who knows with the way things have been going in the fight world recently!

[Russlenat]

This is pretty surprising, I honestly thought iShowSpeed was too small to even be considered for a fight with Jake Paul. In fact, when he visited the Philippines and sparred with Pacman, I actually thought he’d have an exhibition fight with him afterward. That’s why I even started a thread about it back then.

iShowspeed vs. Manny Pacquiao exhibition fight?

[NotATether]

So your OP said $20 million to fight and $10m more if he beats him? So $30 million in total? Or minus $10mln because it tarnishes Jake's record versus streamers?

It's actually $10 million to fight, and $10 million extra if he wins. So $20m in total. At least that's what Jake's agent said.

It's easy money for iShowSpeed (at least the fighting part), so I don't see him pulling out.

The thing is, who is going to watch this match? If I am a guy who is sadistic and savage, I could watch a guy beating mercilessly a newbie who does not know how to box.
Jake Paul cannot be serious on this; he will receive a lot of backlash for lowering the expectation of his followers. Jake Paul should do a rematch with Fury to avenge his loss, and not amateurs like iShowSpeed.

[Slow death]

To be honest, I won't be surprised if this fight happens because in these exhibition fights, what matters most is that he generates a lot of money thanks to a lot of attention. So when we have a scenario where we have a guy with a lot of followers and also have on the other side a guy who is surprising in the exhibition fights, then we will see the fans of both people wanting to watch this fight and all that both fighters will need to do is fight very seriously because if one of them loses, it won't harm future exhibition fights. For example, if iShowSpeed ​​loses the fight, people won't be shocked by this loss, on the contrary, it's an expected loss. But if iShowSpeed ​​wins, people will be shocked but it also won't harm Jake Paul in future fights. So it's a fight in which both have to win more than they lose regardless of the result of the fight.

Jake's team is confident in the fight, and I agree, for iShowSpeed, this is a pretty solid payday especially considering how much hype and attention this fight would attract. If iShowSpeed is serious about the challenge, it would make sense for him to follow through, assuming he’s prepared for the training and commitment required.

Do you guys think this match-up will happen?

Me, personally, I don't think so, but I've seen more outlandish things happen.

IShowSpeed ​​is very confident to beat. Moreover, if IShowSpeed ​​really wants to box with Jake Paul he wants time to put in his energy so that Jake Paul is KO'd, as stated by himself.

“Give me six months to train, and I can beat Jake Paul. I think I’d knock him out in the fifth or sixth round.”

But Jake Paul's team is already putting money into IShowSpeed.

“Tell him I have $10 million for him right now. If he signs this week and beats Jake, he gets an extra $10 million. Put your money where your fame is,”

I hope that the team and manager IShowSpeed ​​can sign a contract this week, for clarity of boxing for both of them, it doesn't matter that IShowSpeed ​​has been training for six months, but the contract must be signed in the near future.

But elsewhere I also saw Jake Paul's statement about IShowSpeed.

Jake Paul himself responded to a social media post about the potential fight, suggesting that Speed was just joking: “Speed knows better. My guy was just playing for sure.”

This is ridiculous, just a joke, but we will see in the near future whether the Jake Paul team and the IShowSpeed ​​team, really signed their boxing contracts, if not it's just a joke, for the seriousness of the two facing each other in the ring is in the contract, maybe we will see the resultsSerious or not this week, all boxing fans are hoping for something strange to happen.

[danherbias07]

Let's just say it can happen. But 6 months of training doesn't mean you can beat someone who has been doing it every day for years. That's a punch to the face of those who had been pouring all their life into boxing.

Still, I would not watch such a fight. That fight between Paul and Tyson will be the last one for me when it comes to entertainment matches because it ruins the essence of the sport. They are milking on people and I was actually amazed at how many will bite the traps that they will set so that it will be hyped. Well, I guess it's easy to satisfy people nowadays because of the lack of entertainment but still, that's not the boxing matches that I used to watch and it's not really entertaining for me.
Now, two Youtubers? Ergh!

When money, engagement, and followers are involved, anything can happen. After all, it's business, lol

But if this really happens and it's a serious fight, Jake Paul will simply destroy his opponent. However, as incredible as it may seem, boxing with these influencers has now become a kind of modern WWE. As long as it generates revenue and sponsorship, it will continue to happen, and it seems that the public has approved of this fighting format.

Yep, this is part of the business, because it involves big money whatever the challenge will be.

Maybe this could be a serious match but we know how the character of iShowSpeed who always has a lot of jokes, even if he prepares seriously for 6 months for him will not be enough to beat Jake Paul.

But I think this fight will be a kind of entertainment, of course there are a lot of bettors behind it.

It is quite possible if this hype story will be beneficial for both of them. It was obvious to me that the fight with Tyson will definitely not be the last one since this is a very profitable business and the next big bloggers will participate in such fights. This story is definitely not about sports interest but about advertising contracts and profit.

[Questat]

iShowSpeed is a clown, so if this fight happens, it’s pretty obvious it would be staged. I’m not sure if the offer was even serious or if they’re just entertaining the idea because iShowSpeed himself doesn’t seem serious with his statements.

Honestly, I doubt this fight will happen, it’s a huge mismatch. Jake Paul has transitioned into being a legit pro boxer with real knockout power. If Jake takes the fight seriously, I’d be worried for iShowSpeed’s safety. It’s hard to see how this would play out without being completely one-sided.

[Jawhead999]

This fight is hard to happen, their weight already have big difference, Speed also has been known as a troll, which shouldn't be taken serious. If Jake Paul want to fight with celebrity, he should fight with KSI instead.

Jake Paul will easily knockout Speed, Speed only good in running, but has zero skill in other sports.

Haven't heard of this guy before.

Dude, are you serious?

Although he's a gaming streamer, but he's a huge fan of Ronaldo, most of Ronaldo fans know him.
