Jake Paul is a favorite here but Asken is a former world champion and has a good record before that two successive losses, the only advantage that I can think of Paul is he is fresh from his winning but Asken is already retired, if Ben losses this match it's going to be a big humiliation for him, it's ok to lose to an MMA fighter but not to a YouTube star.

You are right, Jake Paul is the favorite because this is boxing and he is undefeated with 2-0 record.
As per this site ; https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/news/boxing/updated-odds-jake-paul-vs-ben-askren-april-2021/

here are the odds :

Fighter   Odds
Jake Paul   -155
Ben Askren   +105

Nice odds, seems like a fair odds for me, but I like Jake Paul to win here and I believe that this will go to distance.

Is this the effect of the McGregor-Mayweather fight years ago?
MMA Fighters, Celebrities are fighting in a boxing ring Cheesy

. Quite ironic but for the sake of money, they will do it.

Right, and with the ton of money they've created, make sense for some of celebrities to follow to their footsteps.

After the loss of Askren against Masvidal (with the fastest time), it is his chance to redeem himself at least. Well for the sake of money they will do it. I might try to bet on this fight for some reasons but I don't who which side I will pick. A lot more of this kind of fights will happen in the future though.

But if he wanted to regain and redeem himself, he should fight in the Octagon again. I guess that's not his intention here, not for the legacy but for the love of money.

It's possible that they are doing it for publicity knowing that having a match like this would be discussed, just like what we are doing now lol. It's all about the money and exposure, I think.

That is the only reason why they want this fight to happen.

Btw, Ben Askren says he will win by TKO in the 7th round, and Jake Paul quicker than Jorge Masvidal. It's just a bunch of conversations that could spark up more conversations with their claims.

See, they are already talking trash in social media, meaning they are selling the fights right away. Ben Askren prediction is much realistic though, Jake Paul taking advantage of that 5 seconds knock out of Jorge Masvidal to create more hype.

Quote from: crwth on January 27, 2021, 10:18:37 PM

Maybe let's capitalize on betting on this one? Or it's too hard to predict?

Unfortunately, I'm not gonna bet on this one though, but for those who are, goodluck.

I wonder why are there more and more UFC or even ex UFC fighters being fixed for a boxing match. I guess most fights are all about money, anything for show and money, amateur fighting in a pro boxing league. I guess boxing and MMA promoters are running out of ways to earn, that is why they are fixing a lot of cross-over match up.

This is really all about promotions, and I believed every plans they had would earn a huge amount of return once each fight would successfully happening. MMA fighters is powerful on their strategic attacks in terms of kickboxing, but they're poor against boxing skills because they're not focus on punches. Most often their developments is divided into mixed martial arts, that these fighters should undergo several trainings before their team decide for a big match this coming April.

In this article Jake Paul opens as a favorite maybe because Asken is already retired and Jake Paul is coming up a sensational win, but he is now fighting a real fighter, I'm betting Asken to win the match, this is going to be a very interesting match to see and will motivate both fighters heading before the fight.

it is already past that possibility. it is certain that they are only doing this for exposure and money.

it's too hard to predict and I can't be bothered to bet on their fight but it will surely be interesting to watch but I am not gonna buy a PPV for that. I've seen jake paul fight and I am far from impressed and I doubt his past experience will help him or help him have advantage much in this fight.

Well if their career is over like in Ben Askren, then you have to find a way to make money. And this is the best way for him, fighting a Youtube sensation, who really know to create hype in social media so it make sense for Askren to ride with Jake Paul.

And for all we know this might be stage, Jake Paul winning the first fight and then Askren asking for a immediate rematch, win-win for this two, more money in the table.

Ben, if Jake Paul sends you to sleep, you will be humiliated till the end of your life.

Not sure what Ben Askren is thinking but the risk of getting humiliated once again is a possibility.

In every fight, there is always the possibility of ending up humiliated. That is a fact that every fighter has to deal with. But I guess it is not much of a big deal if you are a real fighter. But if you are a loudmouth, a showboat, a fighter who heavily swears as if there is zero possibility of you losing, then that humiliation is indeed something to be really ashamed of.

Ben Askren has gone through humiliations. I guess that is something he's not afraid of facing once again. If only for the sake of money. But no worries, his opponent is no boxer himself.

After that Mayweather and Mcgregor fight, we see such things are becoming popular to the people and not only that, some basketball players have joined the trend as well but as we can see it's not really fit for them. Whatever sports you are good at, you should stick with that so that you will improve more or gather more experience to teach it to the youngster. Don't follow the steps with these guys, they are just simply making stupid things with their unwise decisions.

For the sake of money then you would definitely see these kind of cross-sports kind of fights even though its clear as day on whose gonna win but these fighters or players will swallow up their
pride for the sake of profit or revenue making or as long they would able to fill out their pockets.This isnt totally can be blamed out on the fighters itself but also with the management
as they wouldnt really be having any options for them to refuse on whats been mandated.Creating hype and making cross sport matches to the believe that they can make out much
just like into those past similar events but this do actually becomes the trend as of the moment which it turns out that this isnt already a sports anymore but rather they do showing off
some serious business talks.

promoters are making this match to happen. so yeah, guess, they are seeing numbers here. that's why they are pushing thru this kind of fight. they need to earn a living also because of this pandemic. now, the popularity is now taken into consideration to sell the fight. maybe after this pandemic, we will see more serious matches.
it seems that boxing industry is going into the popularity contest for the time being. up to you if you will buy this fight or not anyway.

Jake Paul must be wanting to try the Jorge Masvidal knock out, or he wants to try a fighter with a ground level of technique, but I think Jake Paul is getting ahead of himself in my opinion, After winning two fights on people that don't have any experience in fighting and not totally fighters but the fight is boxing and not MMA and Ben Askren is known with his ground moves so there might be a light that Paul can make another win but I am doubting it and I think I will go with Ben Askren that simply has experience with fighters.

Come on Ben, dont be a joke. This is not yours. There are more different ways to earn. Dont copy/paste Mayweather vs Logan Paul fight (even copy/pasted opponent name lol).

Jake Paul is the younger brother of Logan Paul if you are not aware of that and both the brothers were high school amateur wrestlers and they were good at it and it would be great if Jake Paul and Ben Askren wrestled or did submission wrestling rather than box because Jake Paul is boxing along with his brother for big money and Ben Askren was never known as a good boxer in his MMA career.

I am looking at bookies odds and Jake Paul is heavy favorite in this fight, but I don't consider him serious boxer or fighter with only two fights.

Ben Askren is better bitcoiner than boxer, but let's see how well he is in predicting his fights, TKO win in 7th round is what he is saying on Twitter

Although not on the same level but this fight kinda resembles the fight between Mayweather and McGreggor where both of them have excel at their respective fields. I have not seen any of the fights of Jake Paul but I have watched Ben Askren in UFC (where he got KOed in a few seconds).

To be honest, this fight does not hype me that much due to the fact that the other is an amateur in boxing. Though I am not sure if this is a fundraising activity or a real fight, it won't get my hypes up but I might watch it though.

Honestly, this fight between Jake Paul and Ben Askren was not on my list to be watched on or maybe because I am not a fan of these two, although we can say that they are both a good boxer or good fighters still they are just underrated boxers, despite being underrated boxers still, they have a good standing especially with Ben Askren that has a 19-2 of standing so when I'm about to pick between those two then probably I will pick Ben over Jake because he has more experience based on the standing.

Yes, McGregor is the one who started this kind of fights and set the precedent.

And now everyone wants to do it, specially if their career is over in MMA, like Ben Askren. He really can't get over it mentality, leading to the fight there are a lot of trash talking between him and Masvidal. And then he gets knockout cold in 5 seconds.

If someone is able to make money even after retirement i would support them, i am not a big fan of the match up because Ben Askren was never a great boxer in MMA and how he is able to manage someone like Jake Paul who is trained to box even though he is not an established boxer.
About the Masvidal fight i never expected the fight to be over in record time, i was expecting Ben Askren to take Masvidal down and finish the fight but it was a great game plan by Masvidal.

Ben Askren fighting again? this time a hype Jake Paul? doesn't make sense except for the huge money that will be generated by this two hype fighters.What they can do is fight in their social media accounts.

I don't like this so called fighting for exhibition or for the money, those are not for the legacy like Floyd Mayweather which started this whole cross over fights.

I don't even think that there will be a lot of money to be generated from this fight. This is probably a very boring fight.

Ben Askren is not a superstar. He may have been a great fighter but he has not reached the popularity of the likes of Conor McGregor. And he is a retired fighter who is now old and has been inactive for more than a year. Aside from that, he was not really focused on boxing even during his MMA days.

Jake Paul on the other hand is another noob in the boxing ring.
