In the past few months what I have learned is to never say never. This isn't about the sports anymore but financial gains and popularity and social media followers.

Just like I pitied those who bought tickets to watch Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, I also pity those who would take their hard earned money to every buy tickets to watch two social media influencers fight.

Whatever happened to real fights. Muhammed Ali would be rolling in his grave right now in anger seeing what is about to become of this great sports.

It'll probably start a new trend for none professional boxers to want to do exhibition fights and make a lot of money, so I'm guessing that it's all about entertaining fans and cashing in millions of dollars. If a lot of people takes a liking to these form of entertainment, then there's nothing that real boxing fans can do about it. But if I'm to say I wouldn't like real boxing to be adulterated by these streamers, I'd prefer to watch the real professionals that have dedicated themselves to the sport to box. I think that exhibition fights are supposed to be for retired boxing legends like Tyson, and Holifield, not some streamers who haven't paid their dues in boxing.

Blame it to the pandemic, when we are in the lock down, Jake Paul and Mike Tyson take advantage of it by having this kind of exhibitions fight to entertain us. But now that we are back in the norm, the Paul Brothers didn't slow down and now they've own boxing records with this fight with Mike Tyson.

So for fans, it's either we support this kind of fan or not. However, you can't blame some fans for falling and buying tickets to watch this kind of fans. Still boils down, if we don't support it, then it might die down soon. But if you look at it, fans still wanting this fight and so this will go on and continue.

Isn't it about time we learnt not to associate the YouTubers with fighting. For years now these guys especially Jake Paul has made away with millions all in the name of boxing.
I have to give it to them they know the type of matches that would get more attention and also they have mastered the act of hyping but at the end of the day we are feed with scripted play and not the fight we thought we would get.

On the other hand I think Ishowspeed content are mad, just a kid doing his thing also he has shown himself worth in terms of athletics. He is a naturally gifted kid that if his talents gets refined he would do well. But I don't think he needs to get into fighting either real or scripted.

Do you guys think this match-up will happen?

Me, personally, I don't think so, but I've seen more outlandish things happen.

who knows, the guy made a fight happen between him and a 58-year-old boxer with health conditions. What I want to see is him fighting active boxers, but then again, his goal in his "boxing career" is to make money only and I doubt he cares about being a title holder since it would take a lot of effort from him to get it.

Mike Tyson was once a professional boxer but the last fight was a complete fake/joke for me. He got defeated by an influencer who was not a professional boxer which shows how much that match was fixed.

I think if such scripted boxing matches continue or this trend sets in then real boxing fans will shift to sports like MMA where nothing is scripted. I do not think this trend of influencers fighting against each other in a ring will last long but it will surely dent the reputation of boxing as a sports.

@Baofeng, I’d love to see Ron Artest take on Jake Paul! Though technically, he goes by Metta World Peace now. Either way, it would be exciting to see that happen. Ron’s proven to have some serious fight skills; who could forget the iconic "Malice at the Palace" brawl when he was with the Pacers? That’s a classic moment that’s hard to erase... Cheesy

Yeah, as a basketball fans, who wouldn't forget what happened to that un-fateful day. For sure, Ron's is a big guy and we all know that he is very physical during his prime years and so it will be a good test for Jake if he can fight Ron Artest in his next fight.

But we shall see, there's a lot of names floating around now, and it just shows that as much as we don't want to label him, but he is now the cash cow of boxing, regardless of what or how we look at it.

And most likely his next opponent could be getting as low as $10 million now and Jake obviously doubling that amount that he will be getting.

iShowSpeed isn’t even on the list, so it’s pretty clear it’s not happening. They’re not taking this seriously at all. Sure, it’s fine to hype things up, but fans aren’t clueless, they can tell if a fight’s legit or just wishful thinking. In this case, it’s obviously not happening since all iShowSpeed does is troll anyway.

If it does happen, it's not a fight I would waste money buying. Most of the Jake Paul fights suck balls and are just a money grab for him and some outdated dinosaur like Tyson. We all loved watching him when we were growing up, but we also knew Tyson likely wasn't going to win. Plus they always have silly rules for the fights like heavier gloves, less time on the rounds, blah blah shit ya know.

I was really disappointed with the last Paul fight and the fact that the action blew. I don't really expect that much from any other opponent he decides to fight next, whether it be this iShowSpeed or some other random dinosaur.

We have learned and seen enough with these exhibitions specially on Jake Paul but still despite of such shit obvious money grab fights but surprisingly it do really still able to get some views on which
you would really be having those questions on mind on how the heck these fights do really get that attention that much? Just because of the popularity of Tyson or him itself? There are tons of people who had been disappointed with the outcome on which there are even some bets that are really that huge. Whom had thought that this one resulted on this one? but well on any exhibition fights on which
decisions will really be made even if its obvious that it was staged.

Ever since Jake Paul lost to Tommy Fury, he’s been super careful about picking his opponents. He makes sure the hype is high but also keeps his chances of winning just as high. And as we are see, he’s raking in the big bucks because we keep watching, lol.

That fight against Tyson? He made a ton of money, so it wouldn’t be surprising if he brings another "dinosaur" out of retirement for some easy cash, but definitely not a young dinosaur like iShowSpeed.

Yes, I think it might happen.
After all, both are famous influencers, and have a huge reach.

The fight would be beneficial for them in any way. From financial (which I believe is the least that they're thinking), but the biggest thing is the audience. Some of Paul's audience might consider watching iShowSpeed after the fight and vice-versa. Forget about the money because both of them are f-ing rich already. I said that it might happen, but I don't think that Jake Paul will try and fight him. After all, he's planning to step up 2 years from now and get some titles like he said. If he wants to pursue that achievement of him, he needs to fight better boxers.

Instead of an influencer or a UFC fighter, seeing him fighting a legit boxer would be a good choice for him, but I doubt that he will do it on his next fight after his fight with Tyson.

I wish I could bet whether or not this fight will happen. There’s no chance it does. That was obvious by Jake Paul immediately offering him $10,000,000 with an extra $10,000,000 if he wins. If that fight happened I would bet everything I had available at the time on Jake Paul. It would be funny to watch though.

IShowSpeed has nothing to lose here, so provably he will take the offer since there's a sure big money to get in that fight.

That would be an easiest big money he can gain for several minutes so I believe he would take that offer. I tried to search some old clips if he engaged on a boxing match before and see this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tS1VP3j2TFI I can say if he perform just like that he would never get a chance to defeat Jake Paul. But still this is fun to watch, especially IShowSpeed is entertaining guy. So let see if there's a sealed date towards this match up since for sure even if people cannot see a good fight here they provably watch because people want to see what IShowSpeed if he can hurt Jake Paul in this fight.

Before now I thought these celebrities' fights were purely stage managed and the winner had already been predetermined. But I think the fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson changed my perception a little. I saw that these celebrities needed to work hard because it was competitive.

If the fight ever happens it will be a quick win for Paul if he trains hard and take the fight serious. iShowSpeed lacks the experience and exposure to fight a professional boxer no matter how hard he trains. Professional boxing skills cannot be built or developed by training for six months. He needs more fights to master the art of boxing. Maybe he would just go into the ring, get knocked out, and collect his money.

Another ridiculous ‘fight’ that involves the Paul brothers. I don’t know why people pay to watch this rubbish. I don’t think this one will go ahead.

Weight classes exist for a reason, can Speed bulk up to make JP’s weight? I am doubtful.

It’s not final yet, and knowing iShowSpeed’s reputation, this could just be another troll move, he’s not exactly serious about these things. True that he’s super popular, and a fight like this would draw a big crowd both at the venue and online. But honestly, I highly doubt iShowSpeed would risk his health going up against a proven fighter like Jake Paul.

If anything, he might have a better shot against someone like Salt Papi, but definitely not Jake or his brother. That’s just way out of his league.

I doubt it, but if the fight is going to happen, iShowSpeed would need a whole lot of time to prepare. He would have to train for months, or even up to a year, to build his physique to match that of Jake Paul.

However, if Jake Paul decides to fight iShowSpeed, it could result in another wave of backlash as that of Mike Tyson. Many people would criticize Jake Paul for choosing to fight against an amateur fighter instead of his fellow professional fighter. In regards to that, whether he wins against iShowSpeed, he would likely not receive any praise for it, as people would say he fought against an amateur that's why he won

Since when professional boxing has become a comedy show? Just look at a the shape of iShowSpeed, he has zero chance to win, and the fact that Jake offers him $20 million is because he only wants easy fights, and secure wins all the way.

Since Jake Paul started it. The offer money is good and the opponent might consider it but for the sake of the reputation of boxing world Id hope he decline.

If Jake truly wants a good match why not go on a league on his weight and dont make up such entertaining show which audience will only bet on them on gambling sites.

With his performance against Tyson, I think he had potential to be a normal boxer only if he wants it or jist want a comedy show like this one his proposing to a streamer.

But will that be a good show?

Looks like boxing is trying to build a new market, just think what kind of people will see a match like that, it's a totally new market, those kids who like to watch those streamers will enjoy the fight, but those who like to watch the professional boxing will realize how this is a shit show.

And another problem here is the company that is behind and supporting this kind of fights, we are talking about netflix, they are urged to make money somehow, and we saw that with the past fight, they would sell their souls to devil just for the money if they can.

He’s not the same guy anymore as he changed his name to Metta World Peace and even won a championship with the Lakers. But of course, that’s all history now. If you’re curious, it’s all searchable on YouTube, though it’s a violent incident we’d rather not see in today’s NBA.

He’s not exactly super rich, but if he’s pocketing $10 million, that’s definitely a nice boost to his net worth. I’m sure he’ll enjoy that.

In terms of money he doesnt lose any. Thats a boxing event mate, considering he isnt a professional or routine boxer, its quite dangerous to be on the stage and get some blows. Not a pessimist but what if he accept and got knock out by Jake and that turns into something bad. He may be able to earn a lot of money grom this event if ever but if lifes pinned you down you dont know what might happened. It could kill you as your body arent trained for some heavy pack. He should cosider also the cons and not just about the money.

So after Jake Paul beat Mike Tyson a few days ago, a bunch of UFC wrestlers offer to ~~beat him up~~ fight him in the ring.

And then iShowSpeed the streamer comes in and says he could beat this guy in a boxing match if he professionally trained for 6 months.

Then Jake Paul's manager offers him $20 million for the fight. $10m of it if he beats Paul.

Do you guys think this match-up will happen?

Me, personally, I don't think so, but I've seen more outlandish things happen.

This is actually funny buddy 😂
Just imagine an amateur fighting a professional boxer even though he trained for one full year I don't think that is possible to happen that he will defeat Jake Paul. Well, I think he is just looking for fame because he has never involved himself with fight before neither has he joined junior team or beginners club as a start up before he might join himself to higher team to fight and withstand Jake Paul. Have you seen Cat trying to fight lion and you think the cat gonna defeat lion even though they are of same species there is no time lion would even have that thought of wanting to fight cat because it's already on low class.
