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 on youtube so you can be a boxer. Roll Eyes

For sure it is all about money and fame. I don't think we must need to support this kind of sports that is just making for money but yeah if we win in our bet then that will be good for us as well but maybe by not supporting this kind of sports, they will think about if they will going to do this again or it should be the 1st and final. But I agree that this is a money-making fight. Olympian vs Youtuber fight, I don't think Ben Askren will gonna make it.

Supporting this is through buying a PPV and with lack of support, this fight will not happen and when there's no fight, we won't be able to bet on this fight. We need some people to support it, just to fulfill our desire to bets on this game although we will not buy the PPV. lol

I would not buy a PPV either but if I have to choose between this fight and Mayweather vs any celebrity, I would choose this as it's the better one. This is a fight of a non boxing champion, so it's a fair fight and it could be fun compared to any Mayweather's exhibition fights.

At least, these two will try to fight each other unlike Mayweather, who will just run away and count inside the ring. I don't think this will attract large crowd as there are now better fights coming up. But for added entertainment in boxing, better than nothing, right? I believe later on this year, we won't see much of this kind of fight as more real boxers are making schedule of their respective fights.

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.

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.

Dana White has the money to back his fighter even though Ben Askren and Dana White never had a great relationship. Jake Paul is a social media sensation but Dana White refuses to expect that and he is boxing for a long time while Ben Askren is training for a boxing bout for the first time in his life. I will only bet for over rounds as i am not expecting a knockout.

The third person was irritating in the podcast and if there was only Dana White and Mike Tyson it would have been great.

For me, I will look at the betting odds first before I will decide. Jake Paul has 100% KO rate but with few fights only and I think this is the toughest fight of his career as a boxer so I expect this fight to reach the judges scorecard, I'm thinking of betting on the underdog which is Ben Askren, what do you think his chances in this fight?

nice odds

Listen 20-ish minute long interesting interview:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlEanMtx0vc

So basically like me betting 10 dollars on the fight Cheesy

Not really reassuring Dana. I'm not really sure he should get involved in this because it just fuels the flame of the whole Boxing vs MMA, Pro Fighter vs Amateur Fighter narrative, and MMA just does not need that anymore. It's not the 90's and these are not Gracie gyms where different styles came to prove themselves. Glad Ben is getting paid, besides that, meh.

I agree with Ben Askren not being known for his striking/boxing knockout skills. He isn't just an explosive fighter.

However, he is known for his wrestling and that includes technical knowledge that might resonate when it comes to tie-ups.

I know many of us view it as an Olympian vs. Youtuber fight and chances are Ben Askren might get knocked out on this one. This is good money-making fight though.

UFC is different from boxing, Jake Paul had proven that he can knock out anyone with his 2 wins by KO.

What do you mean with "knock out anyone"?
Maybe 36 years old Nate Robinson who had one fight in his entire life, not counting fighting in school 20 years ago.
Or maybe young 24 year old Ali Eson Gib with also had single fight in his life against Jake.
This circus is freely available on youtube for everyone to see.

A lost cause for Mr. Ben right here, whatever people may tell or say about Jake Paul, he's just a YouTuber, and if in the case he wins against Askren, Ben's reputation among the people and the media will be utterly devastated. Whereas if he wins there's not much to say since the guy is a YouTuber. Still, I'd like to see how this fight will pan out despite me not being a fan of both personalities.

We can't only rely on how it was said or analyze though youtube reviews or something else. What's important is the reality of the game on how it's going to be the outcome when Mr. Ben and Jake Paul would perform on their match. Let's see how they'll able to throw punches in order to beat each other, and it's going to be a big fight for both of them. I'm not looking for the hype right now, need to see some heavy strikes and be entertained with their moves.

Oh please, give me a break... I see that youtuber Jake Paul is predicting he will knock out Ben Askren quickly in boxing match

I am not a fan of Ben Askren at all and I didn't like all his trash talk in UFC, but he was still a champ in Bellator and Jake Paul is not caliber like Masvidal to knock anyone out after only few boxing matches in his life, but I mean anything can happen if fight is fixed or judges decide like in last Tyson fight. Anyone remembers that?

He is now a pro already and I guess he is not joking just to sell the fight, and checking on the odds, he is the favorites to win in this fight.

tbh, i dont think many boxing fans will buy the PPV of this match. most of them will just wait for the free live streaming over the net. this fight should be easy for askren. and yes, if he will defeated by Jake Paul, dont think he has good future in boxing. but is this match going to push thru no matter how much is their possible income or will it just be like the mayweather-logan paul canceled fight?

Ben has been putting out some questionable sparring footage, but it seems to me that this might be an attempt to convince people hes worse than he actually is. If you look at his MMA footage, then you'll clearly see that hes not a recognized striker, however he's definitely throwing better than his recent footage shows.

Quote from: OgNasty on February 08, 2021, 06:48:55 PM

So it looks like this fight is going to happen before the Mayweather fight now? I feel like the ground is crumbling beneath these weird 'celebrity' matches. I sure hope we get to see some actual exciting matchups before this fad disappears into nonexistence. I feel like Jose Canseco's pathetic dive knockout might have signaled the peak of this nonsense, but I sure hope we see some big 200+pounder get a crack at Mayweather before all is said and done.

Yeah, Logan Paul I believe was on record stating that there's behind the scenes "business" that needs addressing. So, I'm not actually sure what this could mean. I think there's been speculation that they are waiting for the result of Jake Paul vs Ben, and Mayweather might fancy Jake instead if he is to perform well as it would likely bring in more money.

I don't mind the white collar boxing, as its pretty good for the sport in general. However, I don't like how frequent it seems to be getting. There's also the worlds strongest men boxing event going on later in the year, which I'm particularly excited about, but it'll likely be a snooze fest, watching two big men tire quickly.

I'm okay with supporting this but not on professional boxers fighting on an exhibition match, or a retired and popular boxer fighting a youtuber. Both of these are not popular in the sports of boxing, they will have a show and asking us to support by buying the PPV, now we have to decide to support it or not.

I remember before during the height of this pandemic crisis, everyone was asking for new sports to watch as there were no live ones to watch out for.
Right now, promoters are capitalizing on the popularity of the "boxers" to sell their fight. So those fans who want something to watch, now you have one. Tongue

But I believe, this will change soon. We are already seeing other sports coming to life again. It will be slow, but at least we are already starting...

Wait what?! The Ben Askren that was on the receiving end of the fastest KO in the UFC history? An MMA fighter who specializes in wrestling is competing in a fist fight Grin

Is this fight for charity? If yes, I'll support it. If not, I hope nobody buys tickets/PPVs.

Unfortunately these people wants to capitalize their YouTube and sports popularity and make money from it. So i'd rather not buy into this exhibition fights started by them. Not only it will boost their popularity but also gain profits. I'd rather see great fighters such as May-Pac 2 than this clown show that maybe scripted.

thats the trend these days. because they cant generate gate income, what these promoters are hoping for is to get viewers from the respective followers of these fighters and hoping that they will buy PPVs, . at least earn a living while still in pandemic. maybe this trend will change once we get back to normal and people can watch again in the arena. til then, these promoters will find a way how to attract boxing fans to sell the fight.

Crorrect. Promoters will dwell to whatever forms of venue to accumulate money. They'll seen that fans due to boresome from this current pandemic might be interested with such types of fights.

Better not to buy this as the honor of this sports already at risk, there are real boxers who needs support and they spend time to train and to showcase their skills and talents.

Let them harvest the fruit of thier works.
