[Boxing] Jake Paul vs Tank Davis

[avp2306]

It looks like they didn’t get the permits for this fight for the venue and it may not happen now. Both sides have declined interest in getting a permit for the event, so best case scenario is that it won’t be taking place in Atlanta but to me it seems like it just won’t be happening at all. We’ll see. Maybe they think they can get Vegas.

Where did you find information about permit? Anyway, I dont see it as a huge problem, because they might take any venue they like, as the fight is going to be aired on Netflix. It might be that they can organize event like UFC did during covid - in their own venue, UFC Apex. There is no spectators there or very minimum of them. It might even make their fight more prestige. Kinda a VIP event if you want to watch if IRL.

Here https://tribune.com.pk/story/2567558/jake-paul-vs-tank-davis-mega-fight-in-doubt-after-reported-withdrawal Article has been shared already by @Ziskenberg.

It seems that they didn't settle everything and they got that issue.

But they do some action which is been written here https://www.cbssports.com/boxing/news/jake-paul-vs-gervonta-davis-fight-officially-moved-to-miami-after-atlanta-plans-fall-through/

So even if there's a rumor about fight to be withdrawn their management is doing some action to continue this fight. This gather good traction to people and many of their fans waiting for this fight to happen.

Jake Paul and Tank Davis had their first face off.

https://x.com/mmamania/status/1970270551894827207. Reach and height advantage are going to be a real problem for Tank. Even if Jake is much lower class than Tank, taking a punch always hurts.

Also they had a press conference https://www.mmamania.com/boxing/390862/live-jake-paul-vs-tank-davis-kickoff-press-conference-video-from-new-york-city

Does not look something is getting cancelled. As to a venue issue, that not an issue at all. I am sure that are number of unbooked venue that are ready to sell their place for a good money. Netflix is paying for all after all

That’s good news - they didn’t change the fight date, just the venue. That’s not really a problem since there’s still plenty of time. And for an exhibition fight, there’s not much to worry about anyway. What matters is having a good venue that can handle the crowd, and with Netflix already locked in on the contract, it’s all good to go.

and here's the fighters that will entertain us.

Here are the rules for this fight.

-Weight limit is 195 pounds, meaning Jake Paul could not go north of this weight.
-Tank to have to put on 60 pounds, this could affect his quickness.
-Winner to be announced
-10 3-minute rounds
-12oz gloves

Now that they announced that there will be a winner here, i more incline on betting for the bigger Jake Paul to demolish the Tank.

The size difference was on full display in their face off. At least Jake is fighting a real fighter that isn’t way passed their prime. He’ll work his way up in size I’m sure. Tank has his work cut out for him to avoid being knocked out I think. I’m not sure how serious he will take it. He might just get a payday and act like it doesn’t matter.

Its 1.5 months till the fight and they are already making face-off, pre fight conference and weigh-ins (that are unofficial). I dont understand why are they do it so early, if they have practically nothing to sell. Fight will be streamed on Netflix for free for all active subscriptions.

Btw, Jake has announced his sparring partners. Could be fake, could be not, but there are some good names there. If he really trains that hard, then I want to hear what people, who called him as a fake boxer would say. Is he still fake or the guy has improved?

Lol, maybe they just want to stay relevant, because after the Canelo vs Crawford fight, still remains as one of the hottest topic in boxing. So they don't want their fans to forget that we still have this fight in the making. So they will have to make some early promotions like face off and then making fun of themselves, going to the media to have interviews.

I think some of the names there are no longer active in boxing like Montana Love and Lubin, two under-achiever I would say.  Jamaine Ortiz might be too big to act like Tank Davis for Jake Paul, but perhaps he wanted to test the power. With Shakur it could be the ring control or the speed of a smaller guy. However, as have said, the source could be fake as the name of the site itself, "movieblog", so don't know if you will believed a news that comes from that of syndicate site.

He’s not “fake” anymore - you can see how he beat his past opponents. Maybe they weren’t world champions, but still, give the guy some credit. He was a YouTuber who turned into a pro boxer, and not many can do that. Even if they try, they’re usually not as successful as Jake Paul.

So while I’m not too optimistic about him winning this fight, there’s still a chance he pulls it off especially since it’s at a weight where he’s already comfortable.

I can't understand why I'm always amazed by this, it's all a show, there's still a month to go as you say and in the meantime they're doing face to face matches to show and increase the hype of everything to sell more, everyone knows it, it's clear but everyone is interested in following these matches, which are comparable to wrestling

Some of sparring partners are no longer active, you are correct, but they have only retired from performing professionally or not much active today. Jake has some nice guys to learn from. I simply remember how 2-3 years ago, people talked here that Jake is fake boxer, all fights are rigged, and he will only fight aged or retired fighter and not necessary boxers. That after a fight against Tommy Fury, Jakes career is finished. But look what he has achieved now.

[andywolfer]

Honestly, feels more like a money show than a real fight — but it’ll still be fun to watch.

I don't know, but yeah if we go with our argument, then he is facing a real boxer here. But if you look at their size difference, then it's huge as he is fighting a career 135 lbs and Jake is a CW to HW "boxer". And we can only judge him if he faces a active boxer in his weight class to see if he has want it takes to be defined as a boxer as that what he said before, we wanted to be professional. I think we can all agree that this is just another money grabbing fight for him and for Tank. Just a wild dream though if we talk about money fight, Canelo vs Jake for all the marbles?

It's not going to be a real fight, two different weight class and as you have said, it's all about the money, so that is what's going to happen here.

We haven't seen Jake Paul fight for legacy, he fights old dude for money and for sure if we are boxing fans then we shouldn't take this seriously or just watch to have some fun and see what they are going to do inside the ring.

Oh wait, during their early face off early, there has been some circus with all the trash talking. So just imagine days before the fight. You might as well get your popcorn and just sit back and watch this two.

Both of them have face to face by press conference recently and i have seen the picture between these fighters that the difference height is very far that because Paul is six inches taller than Gervonta and from weight too Paul has 195 pon  and Gervonta is only 135 pon which i think this like the fight between middleweight fighter vs lightweight fighter and for real life this fight will never happend and from the experience indeed Gervonta is more good because he can conquer lightweight but in boxing weight is really matter and i would like to see how many rounds will Gervonta be able to survive

And that's why we have a weight class for a reason. Because it's not going to be fair for someone as small as Tank to fight a bigger opponent in Jake. But this is not a professional boxing event and so they can go and have this fight.

This is also the reason why it is a exhibition fight. But we can't deny that there are fans that are very intrigue with this kind of fight and so they are going to buy ticket and this could still be one of the biggest fight this year even if the height and weight difference are evident.

Remember the fight with Tyson, it’s hard to even call it a fight, and it seems to me that Mike had many chances in that fight to land a good punch, but most likely it was all about money. With Tank it will be the same kind of show, I doubt that in the fights organized by Jake anyone will be able to knock him out, especially since in this case the weight difference is too big to take it seriously.

Even if its forbidden for opponents to knockout Jake, punches he receive still hurt When people say that his fights are "all about money", point me who among current champions or top fighters, fight for free. Show me anyone who refused to receive millions. Maybe it is Canelo who talks about his legacy, but receive 100 millions for his recent loss.

That's why many says that the fight with Mike is rigged and Jake is supposed to win that fight. Mike will just have to stay for the full 12 rounds and not throw anything big on Jake so that he can survived the fight. As for the money argument, of course, it's a money grab, every pro boxers are looking for the money now. But the big difference is that they're go and fight for a belt, maybe for others it mean nothing. But seeing your name and calling that you are a world champion is very different when you fight for exhibition fight. There is still some pride amongst this pro boxers that an exhibition has no bragging rights whatsoever. This is just my opinion though.

It's no brainer mate, all sports involved players taking big money. They dedicated their whole life to it that's why the demanded millions for their sport. But here, how long is Jake Paul involved in this kind of fight? But he become famous for doing it specially when it all started in the pandemic. But we are no longer in the pandemic, but Jake has captured the imagine of his fans that he continue with it even fighting Mike Tyson and it's a circus show.

So it's hard to compare him fighting against what Canelo did in this sports. Canelo can demand that money because he is a cash cow in this sports. While Jake is the promoter of this fight if I'm not mistaken, same with the Tyson fight, or at least his promotional company is involved.

[TopTort777]

Cant blame Jake for willing to earn money. Cant blame Jake for choosing opponents. He offers them a fight and a contracts. Its their choice to sign it and compete under special rules that Jake dictate. Dont you find it funny, that so many people hate and complain that he is nothing and fake, and even more people are ready to watch him boxing and pay for it. I can only congratulate Jake for not wasting moment and earning money.
