Youtuber Jake Paul is actually betting favorite but I remember that UFC boss Dana White was saying he is willing to bet miliion dollars on Ben Askren.
Here is nice chance for him to double his money and get a little extra something, but I suspect that something like draw result could happen with bookies making most money.
Win or lose, Ben Askren will get $500,000 and Jake Paul will get $690,000 for this fight  Smiley

Ben really hasn’t been taking this fight seriously either. I’m not sure if he just doesn’t care or is so confident that he felt like he didn’t need to train. He looked obviously out of shape yesterday. Everyone keeps saying that YouTubers have no chance against the pros, so maybe Ben knows this and will slap Jake around. I’d be surprised if you could show up out of shape and win in a different sport than you are used to, but maybe pro fighters are that much better than newcomers. We will see soon enough...

These types of fights are pathetic. Jake paul at least knows how to box, but putting a MMA fighter up against him is a joke. The MMA guy is going to lose everytime. Same thing happened with Connor Mcgregor and Floyd Mayweather, MMA guy gets his ass whooped.
Will see whether it is a joke, comparing Floyd Mayweather who is considered to be the best defensive boxer against anyone is a tough fight and i bet Conor McGregor has the ability to knock out some of the boxing champions in his weight division.

Jake Paul is not a professional boxer and he has not fought high level competition either but Ben Askren fought high level competition in wrestling and MMA and i think that advantage will help him in this fight as well and it depends upon how healthy Ben Askren is right now as he had a major surgery a few months ago.

I watched the weigh in earlier today and Ben Askren did not look like he was in good shape. He was a little fat. It makes me question how serious he is about this fight. He's not exactly facing Floyd Mayweather or another elite champion but I still feel like he should have trained harder.

Between the two Jake Paul seems to be in a good condition with a well-conditioned physique, Ben Askren is coming off with unwanted weights going to this fight, I never known Ben to be a good boxer and it's too late for him to take and learn boxing, boxing is a game of endurance and he is in trouble here even if Jake Paul is not an A-rated boxer, Jake Paul can score a knockout, he knows how to throw a lethal punch.
I have a bad feeling for Ben on this fight, but let's see.

Btw here is the video of the weigh-in

What is happening to the world of sports now? why do we have a lot of clown who try to ruined the reputation of the sport?

A youtuber fighting an ex MMA fighter, I don't like what I'm seeing anymore, sorry, but I feel like they are trying to make a circus in the sports just to make money. They use their popularity to influence their followers so they can get some money by supporting their fight. Unreal, the Logan brothers are really focus on boxing now than on their youtube channel.

The set up is now different, start making yourself popular in youtube so you can be a boxer.  Roll Eyes

Well it is unfortunate that this has become the current state of boxing. Many of the promoters think that these fights are needed right now and they favor having these fights because they needed the money to make a profit especially right now that regular sports cannot hold ordinary fights that can attract many people to come and see them. But of course the PPV arena is a good time right now for them to take advantage of course. So they just pick any popular guy and see if they could profit.

I would say that the current state of boxing has made these sort of fights necessary. MMA has just become too popular and boxing has suffered a major decline in the last 30 years.

Regardless of that... I’m looking forward to the two upcoming Paul brothers fights and think they’ve brought a lot of attention back to the sport. I wouldn’t be watching boxing tonight otherwise.

^ The fight is almost there everyone may place their bets now. It's 4 days more left.
I was able to witness how these peeps fight from some of their matches Odds might favor Jake Paul. But probably, judging on how they fight and the strategy. I am seeing a draw on this fight and I was surprised when I saw the news that these two will have both feet within a ring together. It thrilled me as, before this, I have imagined how good the match would be if they are the fighters. Ben Askren has the very least advantage against Paul but we will never know what will happen. Just for me, it’s a draw. They are a match.

placed a small bet on jake paul here for my motivation to watch this fight.  Grin if paul will win this fight, will he ask for exhibition fight from mayweather? lol btw, at least this fight pushed thru as compared to his bro's fight against mayweather.
You've made a small bet to keep yourself motivated watching this fight. Myself got motivated to watch this match due to a bet thats been placed by an user on Stake. I'm waiting for the day once after seeing the bet Jake Paul vs Ben Askren

That was a huge bet, 81k usd for the youtuber, wow... he really know sometihng or this guy is just playing around with the much btc he has profited during the bull run. It's hard to tell, but I like a real fighter here to win, not a youtuber though his record is 2-0 in profesional boxing.

Jake Paul might be a decent guy behind the scenes, and away from the cameras honestly, but his whole persona in front of the cameras annoy the hell out of me. However, you have to admit that this is exactly the reason why so many people will be watching this fight. They aren't interested in seeing Jake win, and if they were partial to Jake then they might not tune in at all. However, because he's built up such a reputation with his antics over the years, he's turned a lot of people against him, which means people want to see him lose, and he's taking advantage of that, and run away with the money. Whatever you say, you can't say the kid isn't smart, and a proper businessman.

However, his antics in the open workout the other day really annoyed me. As a fan, we like to look at how the fighters are looking leading up to their fight right? So he comes out with this warmup stretching routine, which offered nothing.

Jake Paul is a mastermind, I'm going for a Ben Askren TKO Cheesy

I don't know anything about him behind the scenes.  He seems like he's riding his older brother's coattails, but he seems to be doing a rather good job being successful at it.  Now he's earning himself legitimate paydays or so it seems.  It he can pull out a W then I think it makes the Mayweather fight more interesting.

After seeing him being interviewed on Impaulsive, I actually like Ben Askren more than Jake Paul and my take on it is that Jake is a bully who is picking on the guy he thinks is the weakest.  Karma would make me think Jake deserves a loss, but we'll see how well his calculated decision to fight Askren turns out for him soon enough.  I'm just excited to see the fight for some reason.  Not really sure why.

Ben Askren showed that he is training with Freddie Roach, Jorge Masvidal is putting more salt on the knee knockout wound hehehe. Masvidal was seen helping Jake Paul with his boxing. This might only be for social media clickbait to create hype, however.
It was just a show off by Ben Askren and from what i understand he just took a crash course of one week with Freddie Roach and it looks like it was done for the cameras if not what he is going to learn from one week of training with Freddie Roach. It is going to be a interesting fight and just a few days more and i have my doubts after listening to the routines of Ben Askren preparing for this bout .

Probably. It does seem like anyone can get a fight with Mayweather these days. Also, as far as I know Logan Paul VS Mayweather is still on its just been moved back a little bit. I believe Logan Paul is in his training camp right now. No idea if Mayweather even trains for these fights Cheesy

The odds for this fight are closer than expected. Either fighter is probably worth the punt. I'm going with Askren via decision personally.

Askren is a wrestler. He was picked because he’s considered the weakest puncher in professional fighting. He would kick Jake’s ass in wrestling or MMA without a doubt. He may kick his ass in boxing, but he was chosen specifically because boxing is his weakness and he is a respected fighter. You also have to understand he just had a serious hip injury and was out of shape before taking this fight.

Basically, Jake is boxing a retired wrestler coming off a major injury who wasn’t in shape. If he can’t win, I may have to admit that Logan has a 0% chance against Floyd.
Askren at least wasn't Jake Paul's first choice which was Dillon Danis, probably because I'd argue he might be even worse than Ben Askren at throwing hands. Both are somewhat decorated wrestlers/BJJ. Jake also was looking ahead, and if he was to beat Dillon maybe he expected Conor to come out of the woodwork due to the fact they are somewhat close.

Logan Paul has a punchers chance, right? However, Mayweather has been in that ring with many killers, and Logan Paul is far from a killer. Mayweather will have enough experience, and will likely carry Logan for a few rounds to make a spectacle of out of it, but its very unlikely Logan lands anything meaningful on him. Boxing is generally more predictable than MMA or real fights. Logan's reach advantage isn't going to mean anything against Floyd.

Back to Askren, and Paul; I do think Askren might edge this, and surely with the odds being somewhat favourable for a punt on him hes got to be worth it simply because of the experience.

The fancy about Logan Paul and Floyd Mayweather is the huge size difference and everyone wants to see Floyd getting knocked out and everyone will be waiting to see an off day if that fight happens, if not Mayweather will school him Grin.

I think Jake is quite a bit bigger then Ben too.  When Ben stood next to Logan on the podcast it was clear that he was much larger.  Jake might be listed at the same height as Ben, and Logan might only be listed as 3" taller, but I'm not sure I believe that.  Mayweather next to Logan is going to look ridiculous, but I think Ben next to Jake might look pretty silly too...  I guess we'll find out in a week, but I'm not sure I believe Askren is 5'11".

It is partially true that Ben Askren was selected because he is not known to be the best stand up fighter but the other aspect is that he is a good promoter and he will make the fight interesting as he knows how to promote the fight and even though he was not having a big voice when he was fighting outside the UFC he now has a following and i do think Askren is a great at defense and he never took that many hard punches in his MMA career.

Like you said the only thing that worries me to place a bet on this fight is his injuries and hip replacement surgeries are not easy and it will make a difference in your movement.

It was cool of Logan Paul to have Ben Askren on his podcast. Ben seemed like a really nice guy and a lot of what he said made a lot of sense. I’m not sure how the fight will go down, but it seems like Askren was picked to be an easy win for Jake, and maybe that won’t be the case. It is cool seeing two sides sit down and be so confident in their position against each other. It made me more interested in watching the fight.

Ben Askren is a also a very intelligent guy with a very sexy wife hehehe. Marrying someone like that implies self confidence.

In any case, this fight might not be easy. Askren is a real athlete. He was a collegiate wrestler and MMA fighter in Bellator, One and the UFC. He was also an Olympian. Jake Paul is only a youtuber.
