[Boxing] Jake Paul vs iShowSpeed

Do you guys think this match-up will happen?

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

Yes, I think it might happen.
After all, both are famous influencers, and have a huge reach.

The fight would be beneficial for them in any way. From financial (which I believe is the least that they're thinking), but the biggest thing is the audience. Some of Paul's audience might consider watching iShowSpeed after the fight and vice-versa. Forget about the money because both of them are f-ing rich already. I said that it might happen, but I don't think that Jake Paul will try and fight him. After all, he's planning to step up 2 years from now and get some titles like he said. If he wants to pursue that achievement of him, he needs to fight better boxers.

Instead of an influencer or a UFC fighter, seeing him fighting a legit boxer would be a good choice for him, but I doubt that he will do it on his next fight after his fight with Tyson.

If it does happen, it's not a fight I would waste money buying. Most of the Jake Paul fights suck balls and are just a money grab for him and some outdated dinosaur like Tyson. We all loved watching him when we were growing up, but we also knew Tyson likely wasn't going to win. Plus they always have silly rules for the fights like heavier gloves, less time on the rounds, blah blah shit ya know.

I was really disappointed with the last Paul fight and the fact that the action blew. I don't really expect that much from any other opponent he decides to fight next, whether it be this iShowSpeed or some other random dinosaur.

Ever since Jake Paul lost to Tommy Fury, he’s been super careful about picking his opponents. He makes sure the hype is high but also keeps his chances of winning just as high. And as we are see, he’s raking in the big bucks because we keep watching, lol.

That fight against Tyson? He made a ton of money, so it wouldn’t be surprising if he brings another "dinosaur" out of retirement for some easy cash, but definitely not a young dinosaur like iShowSpeed.

We have learned and seen enough with these exhibitions specially on Jake Paul but still despite of such shit obvious money grab fights but surprisingly it do really still able to get some views on which
you would really be having those questions on mind on how the heck these fights do really get that attention that much? Just because of the popularity of Tyson or him itself? There are tons of people who had been disappointed with the outcome on which there are even some bets that are really that huge. Whom had thought that this one resulted on this one? but well on any exhibition fights on which
decisions will really be made even if its obvious that it was staged.

@Baofeng, I’d love to see Ron Artest take on Jake Paul! Though technically, he goes by Metta World Peace now. Either way, it would be exciting to see that happen. Ron’s proven to have some serious fight skills; who could forget the iconic "Malice at the Palace" brawl when he was with the Pacers? That’s a classic moment that’s hard to erase...

Yeah, as a basketball fans, who wouldn't forget what happened to that un-fateful day. For sure, Ron's is a big guy and we all know that he is very physical during his prime years and so it will be a good test for Jake if he can fight Ron Artest in his next fight.

But we shall see, there's a lot of names floating around now, and it just shows that as much as we don't want to label him, but he is now the cash cow of boxing, regardless of what or how we look at it.

And most likely his next opponent could be getting as low as $10 million now and Jake obviously doubling that amount that he will be getting.

iShowSpeed isn’t even on the list, so it’s pretty clear it’s not happening. They’re not taking this seriously at all. Sure, it’s fine to hype things up, but fans aren’t clueless, they can tell if a fight’s legit or just wishful thinking. In this case, it’s obviously not happening since all iShowSpeed does is troll anyway.

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.

It'll probably start a new trend for none professional boxers to want to do exhibition fights and make a lot of money, so I'm guessing that it's all about entertaining fans and cashing in millions of dollars. If a lot of people takes a liking to these form of entertainment, then there's nothing that real boxing fans can do about it. But if I'm to say I wouldn't like real boxing to be adulterated by these streamers, I'd prefer to watch the real professionals that have dedicated themselves to the sport to box. I think that exhibition fights are supposed to be for retired boxing legends like Tyson, and Holifield, not some streamers who haven't paid their dues in boxing.

Mike Tyson was once a professional boxer but the last fight was a complete fake/joke for me. He got defeated by an influencer who was not a professional boxer which shows how much that match was fixed.

I think if such scripted boxing matches continue or this trend sets in then real boxing fans will shift to sports like MMA where nothing is scripted. I do not think this trend of influencers fighting against each other in a ring will last long but it will surely dent the reputation of boxing as a sports.

who knows, the guy made a fight happen between him and a 58-year-old boxer with health conditions. What I want to see is him fighting active boxers, but then again, his goal in his "boxing career" is to make money only and I doubt he cares about being a title holder since it would take a lot of effort from him to get it.

[BIT-BENDER]

Isn't it about time we learnt not to associate the YouTubers with fighting. For years now these guys especially Jake Paul has made away with millions all in the name of boxing.
I have to give it to them they know the type of matches that would get more attention and also they have mastered the act of hyping but at the end of the day we are feed with scripted play and not the fight we thought we would get.

On the other hand I think Ishowspeed content are mad, just a kid doing his thing also he has shown himself worth in terms of athletics. He is a naturally gifted kid that if his talents gets refined he would do well. But I don't think he needs to get into fighting either real or scripted.

Blame it to the pandemic, when we are in the lock down, Jake Paul and Mike Tyson take advantage of it by having this kind of exhibitions fight to entertain us. But now that we are back in the norm, the Paul Brothers didn't slow down and now they've own boxing records with this fight with Mike Tyson.

So for fans, it's either we support this kind of fan or not. However, you can't blame some fans for falling and buying tickets to watch this kind of fans. Still boils down, if we don't support it, then it might die down soon. But if you look at it, fans still wanting this fight and so this will go on and continue.

We do know that when it comes to money then everything could happen. Each of us might have their own opinions whether Ishowspeed do really need to go into this kind of field or would really be staying up on where he is now. Whenever there's some rumors about some possible match up then it will really be mostly being lined up. Some will really be that get mad or wouldnt really be liking things on how its been arranged but we do know that once there's hype and interest then it is something that could definitely be happening. So it will really be just that depending
on how you will really be having this kind of impression whether you do watch it live or would be seeing these freaking fights on replay?

personally, the match wont happen just like you have said maybe it just for marketing gimmick if the audience really lot and can stream revenue maybe it gonna happen

If the match Jake Paul vs iShowSpeed really happening of course I am gonna pick the Jake Paul since he has the experience rather than a iShowSpeed it is simply because Speed is just a streamer and does not have kind of boxing experience even tho Speed is going to take hard train because is not all about the train but also the real world experience too in my opinion.

If the audience really wants to see it, there’s always a chance they might make it happen, money talks, after all. But can we be real here? The fight would be a total mismatch. iShowSpeed doesn’t have anywhere near the boxing skills or experience Jake Paul has. It’d be like watching a pro take on an amateur, and Jake would have to tone it way down just to make the fight remotely interesting. And if that happens, it’s practically turning the whole thing into a scripted show, more entertainment than a real fight, and honestly, that just doesn’t feel right.

Jake Paul should stick to looking for a proper opponent, someone who can actually challenge him. If he locks that in soon, we might have an exciting fight to look forward to early next year. That’s the kind of match fans deserve, not a one-sided spectacle.

The fight can happen, Jake Paul and Ishowspeed are people who have benefited massively from the internet, and streaming activities, if this fight is going to happen, it is going to be another joke of a fight between these two who would be more focused on getting streamers and an audience that will increase their fan base, than actually boxing itself. I will not place a bet on any of the fighters because they both are doing it for fun and will likely not be giving their best in the fight.

The fight is just targeted at making money. Mike Tyson saw the fight against Jake Paul as an opportunity to make money since he is not as rich as other heavyweight champions. His past wasteful life is what is hunting him today. I wonder how many past heavyweight champions at his age will still be fighting for money. These celebrity fights have even started spreading to my country. A musician fought with a social media influencer recently and it was just too boring to watch. Jake Paul and iShowSpeed will be a comedy boxing fight to make us laugh because the latter is a clown.        

[Hispo]

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...

That is exactly what crossed my mind when I read in this thread Ishowspeed would be even considering trying to fight Paul, he is not a fighter, he is a social media clown, who has been also linked to some NFT scam projects in the past, by the way. Not even mentioning it takes more than merely six month for one to be ready to fight someone who has been fighting professionally for much more than that period of time.
I doubt the fight will take place and if it does, I would guess Ishowspeed would be asked to lose by some match fixers, in order for him and the fixers to pocket millions of dollars from the betting market... 
Instead of watching celebrities fighting it is better to stick to actual professional fighters who do not have so much of an influence in social media. In the end, these matches of celebrities are not for the sake of sport and showing their strength, it is about chasing clout.

Yes, there is a possibility of this fight happening or Jake Paul just continue to build his brand with fighting Youtubers and former boxers. So he had crack the code of making money out of becoming a Youtube influencer and taking advantage of boxing as a sports. But his last fight with Mike Tyson could be the last straw for us boxing fans to watch him or whoever clown he wanted to take next.

Not that we are not going to bet, but we will not watch, that's for sure. We don't want to be taken advantage again with the hype and everything and then at the end of the fight we really felt that we have been scammed. It's good that a have a Netflix subscriptions before and so I just take that and watch his fight against Tyson. But going to pay PPV next? Nah, I won't do that.

[Adbitco]

In fact I see this as a retaliation from what happened to Tyson but even as that I don't have that strong belief that if he professionally trained for 6 months he would knocked out (beat) Paul so easily, because already Jake has involved himself with other fight even before having to meet with Tyson so he has an experience already before having to meet with him for the fight.

Even if Tyson were given 5 years to train, it wouldn’t change the outcome, Jake Paul would still win. Tyson’s age is a huge factor, and there’s no way he can keep up with a young, active boxer like Jake. So, let’s drop the “what ifs.” What’s done is done. Mike walked away with $20 million from that fight, and he wasn’t reported to be seriously injured. He should just kick back and enjoy spending that money now.

Considering the age differences you would see that Tyson is already weak and should retire by now if not mistakenly, and again i sense this fight to be a kind fixed or plan fight because usually Jake having to fight Tyson was like a kind of boost up, trying to make his name more famous for having to fight a legend someone who was known to have won so many champions. But while we also consider the age difference you would see that Jake is more stronger and vibrants than Tyson so even though he has to fall back and train the energy is no longer there and has exhausted all it takes him to be strong to fight.

Usually this is a topic that from a real point of view...boxing! should not even be discussed. Fin.

Anyone who puts on gloves can box, e.g.  youtubers, that one in particular is a damn a dog bark represents , then they thinking what they as have millions of followers want to cover areas that do not concern them.

JP is making a name for himself, but only that, it is fun and he is sincerely doing for boxing what many other boxers have not done, making it trending, but even so, he may never fight for a world title... there is an order, and many boxers take a lifetime to get to fight for a title... which in the case that concerns us these guys fight for money basic.

If JP.. wants to gain respect he should wait a couple more years and/or do the routine of fights towards the title... but what he wants is to get to fight for a world title just for the fact of having money or being famous...

But Tyson want more fight    I think he love the paycheck he gets from his last fight. Also provably he cannot get another fight since people already know his not capable have competitive fight anymore.

As other said youth have more better advantage than aged and experience.

This iShowSpeed plan fight? This might have chance to happen especially if there's good prize reward to be given on Speed. So I guess let see further more updates regarding to this fight since this is one of the hell comedy scene in boxing history.
