This is another, in my eyes, stupid fight that nobody is really waiting about. Especially as Woodley is not so famous but as others mention it is all about the money. Both Paul and Woodley can take home a nice pay check. Chances are maybe slim, but I hope Woodley can KO Paul.
Well, if people are going to watch, they're still going to do it, what's your opinion going to do against the million of followers of Jake Paul? Will they stop the fight, let's just let this happen and then watch it and and make fun of the march and move on like any normal person who isn't a killjoy.

that's  adds up the fun, if Paul lose a rematch will happened.

More money for those promoters and this two actors will have another way of gaining for more, though it's not that attractive fight,

but since Paul and Woodley got fans on their own, it will give them the opportunities to fight again and entertain those fans who support them. they should come up with entertaining performances.

I wonder why Jake Paul is fighting people that are not boxers when he claims to be a boxer, if he is a boxer then why not fight professional boxers and not fighters from another category, MMA is very much different from boxing this is for money he is picking fighters this guy will get knock out by professional boxers all his fights are coming from people who cannot box, people will soon get tired of his stuff.

He's neither trying to get into the professional scene nor trying to prove his boxing prowess. Neither of them. He's simply trying to become more popular, become a star in whatever way, however cheap it may be, and definitely amass wealth in the process.

This is plain entertainment. Well, they're still into the sports of boxing. But this is not the kind of boxing where you can see dedication, focus, determination, and the will to excel. I guess we cannot see real fighting here. There'd probably still be a KO but it is only because both of them don't have the real training process that a professional boxer has to go through before every fight.

a pro MMA fighter does not endure the real training process that a boxer does for a fight? You are right on that! MMA fighters have to do much more than boxers as they have 3 more disciplines (or if you add leg kicks) to focus on. I'm sure T-Wood does the same training process. What differs maybe is that he is not focusing that much only on hand fighting (even tho MMA fighters spar with big gloves) when he is preparing for an MMA fight. However, he is training at Duke Rufus gym that is a renowned kickboxing and MT gym with both Rufus brothers being world champions at some point, so I think there is a lot that he can offer to T-Woods boxing training.

What's happening? lately boxing matches were not like it used to be wherein a professional boxer fighting a professional boxer it's not boxer fighting MMA, boxer fighting basketball player. It looks like it's all about money now I miss real boxing matches, still looking watching this match I heard a lot about Jake Paul but let's hope Woodley would be able to defeat him though his expertise were not in boxing field.

I think after that Mcgregor and Mayweather fight, they see some big opportunities crossing the two fighting sport together to gain both fans from one another and the result is more money whenever there is a fight such as this one. the drama before the fight is just one of their tactic to maximize their earnings and the fight will gain more money for both parties. everything in this kind of sports needs to be adjusted somehow or another so that the fans won't get tired and they think this one is a good idea. the old era of boxing is now gone and we are now witnessing a new kind of boxing when both fighters in the MMA and Boxing industry can face each other in the ring if they want to.

But Jake Paul is already popular, so expect that this fight will happen as there are people who will watch this fight, just an ordinary fight in our eyes but will definitely make easy money for them. Jake Paul has become a Mayweather in the current generation, he is good of cherry-picking his opponent.

I thought this one is a better fight

If this was prime Woodley it would be an easy pick. Say what you want about Jake Paul but the guy knows how to market himself and has decent boxing skill and power. He's a natural boxer and trains hard. This fight is not a blow to the sport, but for Tyron Woodley, a boxing fight is not the same as an MMA fight.

Cardio and conditioning is a question mark for Woodley, and the fire might not be there anymore for him. Having said that, Jake Paul will experience real pressure from a striker. Can Jake Paul face adversity and come back on a fight? We've seen Woodley do so. It's going to be really interesting.

maybe, he is just testing the waters here. while making some dough, at the same time he is testing his strength inside the ring. and later on, maybe go for boxing belt. right now, he is striking while the iron is hot, so to speak. earning while he has the charisma to challenge retired boxers and mma fighters..
people are patronising it for now. so get as much money as they can.

Nah, I doubt that he will be looking for a boxing belt later, he is making enough money doing this sort of exhibitions matches and he could be making tons of money already. He will be damage if he goes to fight a pro boxer and the money will not be good.

He is doing this obviously to gain fame and have a lot of followers in his social media accounts specially Youtube. And the carefully picks retired boxers, basketball players to fight.

Kinda leech to the publicity of big personalities like Floyd. The more popular the person he fights with, he also gets a take of that popularity and then gets followers at the same time he earns big money from it. Woodley was once a champion, he may not be as popular today but he was a champion in the early years.

Woodley doesn't have a boxing career so it's difficult to say he will win against Jake Paul. If he is going to be TKOed by this man, I wouldn't be surprised.

It does seem like he’s still not choosing boxers and is leveraging his fame to get easy KOs. I don’t blame him though and I love seeing his knockout power in the ring. This fighter should be a little harder to beat than Askren was, so while there will still be those that complain, he is making progress and that’s something.
Jake Paul is good enough to attract all these high profile people who are in other sports to boxing and he is able to make millions which is not a small thing and i never expected Jake Paul to win that easily over Ben Askren but the fight looked funny and now his team mate is going to fight him and Tyron Woodley is also almost retired with the way he failed to win in consecutive MMA bouts.

I agree that this is just another cherry pick fight for Jake Paul to really shows his skills as a 'boxer' and of course to get more circus fights in the future, so easy making money scheme for the Youtube sensation.

Woodley is obviously no longer on his prime, yeah, decent power, but you can't teach him to become a good boxer overnight. Jake Paul by another KO win here.

Jake Paul and former UFC champion Tyron Woodley have agreed to a deal in a boxing match. This is another easy cherry pick fight for Jake Paul in my opinion. Woodley is not a boxer, he's 39 years old and has lost his last 4 MMA fights.

Jake Paul sparred with current UFC fighter Mike Perry. Its confirmed he does train and spar with real fighters.

https://twitter.com/PlatinumPerry/status/1383874510902857734

JavierMendezAKAPodcast youtube channel interviewed someone confirmed to be inside Jake Paul's training camp. Who said Jake Paul brought in more than 20 sparring partners and knocked more than half of them out. I think the video clip was taken down. But I do remember seeing it before the Ben Askren vs Jake Paul fight happened.

Not certain how good of a boxer Woodley is. He has trained in Freddie Roach's legendary Wild Card Boxing Gym. Woodley has legit skills and power. The main question is how banged up is his body at near to 40 years old.

I think Dana White deserves credit for allowing Woodley to take this fight as well. He could've been a dick and exercised his contractual rights with Woodley to prevent the fight from happening. He gave it a green light.

This is of course an easy cherry pick for the younger Jake Paul but this does not matter at all to the older and retired UFC champ Tyron Woodley. This is easy money for him whether he will win or not. In fact, I think it's not anymore significant to him whether he will win or not. This is simply a fight for money or probably fun. This is nothing different from Ben Askren's decision to fight Paul. They're trying to have fun and make easy money in the process. The joke's on us if we take this kind of fight seriously.

More than likely, they are just doing this exhibition fight for the mere fact of earning money. It is now like a cash cow of Jake Paul and other retired boxers/MMA fighters. At least, get some money while we are in pandemic and people are still interested to watch exhibition fights. Because if people will realize that this is not worth their time and money, they won't be getting enough cash anymore and maybe they will stop staging this kind of fight.

It's an interesting fight to me regardless of the motive. Tyron Woodley looks like a decent puncher if you look at how he climbed the UFC ladder to become a champion. His hands are pretty heavy and shouldn't be underestimated. The question is will the boxing gloves make any difference and affect that KO power?

Good question. I forgot what's the difference in wrapping, but I know MMA fighters tend to wrap their hands like casts so they can throw bombs without care. If that's not the case then Tyron would have to make some adjustments. However, his training at Duke Rufus should be fine. Also, there is a good narrative as Tyron is/was Askrens teammate...

Well, when they are earning huge money on what they are doing then they will continue it.
It would be better for Jake Paul to fight at least some good "boxers" out there instead of MMA fighters or just celebrities out there who don't have any experience when it comes to boxing.

We can say things like "Nahh they are just ruining the image of Boxing" or anything like that but in the end, there is nothing we can do but to either support or ignore. After all, fights like this are being supported by their followers especially for Jake Paul. Here comes the money Cheesy.
