Getting close now. I'm seeing commercials featuring the artists who will be performing at the event...

I really don't like this fight. Jake Paul seemed to pick the weakest professional fighter he could find when it comes to boxing, and then made sure he suffered recent injuries to give himself a chance. Seems like striving to grab the low hanging fruit, but that seems to be Jake's act. I think while I'd love to see Logan knock out Floyd, I wouldn't mind seeing Ben take out Jake.

There are no Boxing Bets for Stake.com or maybe this is on the special events I don't know,

We will know as the fight is getting closer.

well it is obvious that Ben Askren can dominate Jake Paul in the ring event though this is not the usual octagon Askren perform from, I think that Askren had that experience base on his previous fights in the Octagon and I think he had some training as well with boxing, But there is this vibe that I am feeling that Jake Paul might surprise us but it will sure dependent on his training.

What is obvious is that Jake Paul will dominate based on the betting odds, this is boxing and its not UFC, so it's a differnet fight and Jake Paul has an advantage as he has won his previous fights. This is like a Mayweather vs Mcgreggor, but maybe the outcome is not the same.

I have a feeling that Paul thinks that this is all a joke and he wont be hit with full strength. We all know Askren striking skills, he will be punching Paul all 8 rounds. Not because he wants to teach him a lesson for his big mouth, but because they are weak Cheesy

Hope this fight will teach Paul that pro athlete from any sports where punches and kick are involved is different from a regular guy.

Definitely rooting for Ben Askren in this fight, kinda feeling sick of the Paul brothers & the constant whoring they do all over social media. It’s annoying & I’d love to see one of them KO’d ASAP.

can't even understand why he has got a ton of followers. this fight was announced in January so 3 months of training must be enough for Askren. this time there is no flying knees that will knock him instantly. but i hope he got the stamina to last up to round 8. Paul does have a boxing record though it's just 2 fights, he does have boxing skill that for sure.

This is not a big fight or a popular fight, usually the odds are available one day before the fight, let's just wait a day before April 17, 2021 the scheduled fight, or if it will be release early, please anyone can share in this thread so we will be aware as soon as the odds are up.

And Paul should really work on his verbal skills if he really wants to continue with this.

He lives in his own world Cheesy

He is not a pro boxer or a fighter, but is seems that he had taken that knee from Masvidal which hugely impacted on his mental capacity.

I like this compilation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1mtm15ghpk Cheesy

Specially 2:54-2:57 part

He might not be any of those things, but he is however a public persona that makes money from talking, so him having such low verbal skills and wit to bring something to the table is like saying that a pro boxer can't jab (well, there are some that can't XD). This link that you posted is so hard to watch

It might have lowered my IQ by at least 50%. All boxing skills aside, it's sad to see that he can't sell a fight. It would be hard to think he would be able to sell water in the desert at this point.

Here is the full press conference if anyone is interested https://youtu.be/660g2350L8s

I honestly had no idea that Frank Mir was fighting. Seriously, Why? Does he really need more punches to the head? Even the decision to fight in BKFC is idiotic, no matter what the money is.

And Paul should really work on his verbal skills if he really wants to continue with this.

Regarding the Oscar de la Hoya announcement, I wonder who his opponent will be. He has previously mentioned GGG's name but he will get seriously hurt if that ever happens.

I hope someone influential or very close to him stop him from coming back, he is insane to go back and fight GGG, it's like suicide and GGG mentioned that he could kill Dela Hoya if he challenged him, if he wants to make a comeback take a tune-up fight and fight an amateur fighter so we including him can judge if he still have it.

I don't know if he will pick GGG in his comeback fight, doesn't make sense, and Oscar knows that. Maybe he just wanted to hype him name again specially that Canelo has left him.

Most likely it will be a exhibition match since we are still in the pandemic, and I'm sure it will be something influential, similar to what we are witnessing right now. Youtube sensation vs MMA fighter.

I watched some highlights from the press conference and things got heated. The fighters got physically aggressive but to me it just seems like it might be staged to hype the fight.

Yes, it seems that it was stage to really bring more hype in this fight.

GGG is one on Oscar's list, he has trim down as of late, probably will be fighting 160 lbs which I say will be his fighting or natural weight. I wouldn't be surprised if he goes what Tyson did, probably a exhibition match first before targeting GGG, but it will be a suicide for him.

Speaking of the Paul vs Askren Press Conference, Oscar Dela Hoya showed up, and guess what? He announced that he will be back July 3, whether exhibition match or not.

here is the video:

@yazher. It did not appear to be hype from Dana White. He was asked by the interviewer on his thoughts on the boxing match and Dana’s argument was that Ben Askren was a collegiate wrestler and an MMA fighter while Jake Paul is only a youtuber.

It was Snoop Dogg’s challenge that turned this into hype by sportsnews media. I like it hehehe. I did not much like Tyson versus Jones Jr., however this one I will watch.

Rapper Snoop Dogg has challenged uncle Dana for a bet of $2 million hehehe. I speculate that Dana might be betting on the loser for this fight. Ben Askren’s punches appeared to be one of the slowest in MMA.

“Hey Dana White, I see you got faith in your boy right? Going up against my guy Jake,” Snoop said per TMZ. “You say you got a million? You’re the CEO of UFC. You got more than a million. Put up TWO. Put up $2 million and we’ll match it.”

In anycase, Ben Askren is training with Freddy Roach hehehehehe. There might be hope for this kid.

Boxing legend Freddie Roach is a busy man, and his next mixed martial arts fighter to train is Ben Askren in preparation for his big fight with Jake Paul.

This kind of scene most likely happens when the fight is close and only a few people talk about it. they need to create something both the boxing and MMA fans want. In short, this is just for hype because maybe the fight won't attract as many audiences as they expected before. Man, we need to know that these guys are just doing their own business and by doing so they also need some huge capital like what we have seen in this so-called offer.

Dana White wants to bet 1 million dollars on Ben Askren win in fight against Jake Paul, and he said it in public on Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson podcast, and I would agree with him.
Listen 20-ish minute long interesting interview:

they need something to discuss about this fight to sell this to the public. so i guess, dana white betting 1M dollars on Ben will create some interest from boxing fans. because we know, this match will not be a hit in the boxing community if there is no controversial issues or topics to talk about.
i bet, they are crossing their fingers not to cancel this bout for some financial reasons.

Dana White is not promoting the fight a Ben Askren already retired and Dana White has nothing to do with the event as it is an exhibition bout. Jake Paul usually attracts huge crowds and that is the reason he picked Ben Askren because he also promotes the fight well and we can see the battle in social media and these are done to create interest.

Yes, Ben Askren is retired but you don't understand what he said cause he was talking about Dana White's promise to bet $1 dollars on Ben Askren for the upcoming fight against Jake Paul.
Him betting $1M on the mean he indirectly promotes the fight.
