It looks like things have come full circle. Now, Jake Paul and Logan Paul are teasing a fight between the two of them. I think this would mark the end of influencer boxing at least for the Paul brothers as there really isn’t anywhere to go from here. I don’t think Andrew Tate will ever step foot in a ring again.

Just saw a trailer to a show nobody asked for "Paul American: Jake & Logan Paul's Reality Show" -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yn0y1yzUSWw .
Maybe they will see this as a chance/start to somehow build up some "tension" between the brothers to bring it to the final showdown in the ring, who knows. I mean marketing wise it would be a good idea. Still, obviously a fight like this would be total garbage and staged as fxxk.

I really don't want to envisage the endpoints of their fight.Already the fight has sparked a lot of interest from everyone with many giving conclusions of the outcome already and it's really seeming like a controversy.
Logan Paul,seems to be very ambitious and teacherous at the same time.Meanwhile,Mc Gregor returning to fight after a long years of silence could be an exciting warm-up fight.Its really goin'to be an energetic and entertaining piece to anticipate.

So good for Ngannou, and so he is back to the MMA again and really still fighting and not might getting the money he got from fighting, at least he has a career and hopefully he will used that money in the right way, just saying. So we can say that not everyone has a good chance to make a lot of money if they go out of UFC.

For Ngannou, returning to MMA was probably because he lost his shot in boxing. I mean, he never actually won a boxing match except for his debut, which was controversial but still lose. But despite that, I believe he made a decent amount of money from boxing, likely more than what he earned in MMA combined. So if he ever decides to step back into the boxing ring, he should be smart about choosing his opponent, not against legit boxers like Fury or Joshua.

For exhibitions matches, it's usually retired MMA fighter so yeah, probably just another way to make a living after hanging your gloves in the professional ranks. So it is still very lucrative for them and then the Paul brothers pushes the boundaries like the last one when it was reported that Mike Tyson gets $20 million and Jake Paul $40 million.

Actually, even active MMA fighters (not just retired ones) are choosing to leave MMA and move to boxing because that’s where the big money is.
Conor McGregor is the most famous example, he made a fortune from boxing. But another one that comes to mind is Francis Ngannou, he was an MMA champion, but he chose to step into the boxing ring against a boxing champion, and that decision earned him a massive payday.

Quote

He walked out on the UFC as their heavyweight champion to pursue a his lifelong ambition of boxing.

At the time, he had beaten Ciryl Gane in January 2022 but had no plans to re-sign with the UFC.

He made only £450,000 for the bout and revealed he borrowed £150,000 from friend and former UFC champ Kamaru Usman.

But after two boxing bouts - against Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua - he is believed to have earned over £10MILLION.

If I'm not mistaken, Francis says that he didn't feel anything from Dana, perhaps we was not a favorite and so they didn't extend his contract. And if by chance they offered it, they low ball him that's why he decided to leave for good. And it did pay off as he had a boxing fight with two of the best heavyweights and earning career payday for him. However, for others it might not be the case and they go on some low level organization just to earn in the sports of MMA.

So good for Ngannou, and so he is back to the MMA again and really still fighting and not might getting the money he got from fighting, at least he has a career and hopefully he will used that money in the right way, just saying.

I know they will never enter MMA, I was just joking about that, I mean, it's too brutal for them there and they would never risk their face getting pummeled to oblivion.

anyway, as I mentioned before, the only interesting thing they can do in their influencer boxing career now is to fight actual active boxers but then again, I doubt they'll do it since it might not produce enough money for them to consider the fight worthy.

Another thing is, there’s just not enough money in MMA. Even active MMA fighters make way less compared to what they could earn in an exhibition fight against a popular opponent. That’s why these exhibition matches are way more attractive in boxing.

That’s also why we’re seeing Conor and Logan in boxing, and Conor already proved how much money is in it when he fought Mayweather. The payday is just on a whole different level.

It could be true but MMA is still in it's infancy as compare to boxing, and that's why the pay is not that high and it was totally controlled by Dana although there are still other organizations by UFC is the well known professional MMA organization.

For exhibitions matches, it's usually retired MMA fighter so yeah, probably just another way to make a living after hanging your gloves in the professional ranks.

Well, we will continue to watch the Paul brothers, it is possible that they will come up with something interesting.

if you ask me the only interesting thing they can do in their influencer boxing career is to fight actual active boxers instead of looking for MMA fighters or old people to fight them in boxing.

I do not think that that the Paul brothers are willing to take that risk to fight active boxers or even MMA fighters. That's why they will stay on the old but reliable formula of looking for legendary retired boxers or at least that has a name when they were in primes and bring them out to fight in exhibition just like what they did to Mike Tyson and offer him a money that he can't refuse.

And like in this fight, bringing in McGregor and then the money that we have heard is really out of this world. But since the fight is now cancelled, I do not think that this kind of money is being offered in the table though. And yeah, just for clickbait and see if fans are going to be interested.

This fight is now officially cancelled with Conor McGregor saying that the UFC “just wasn’t into it.” I don’t really think the fight ever had a chance to actually happen. The payday was ridiculous and looking back an obvious lie for clicks and views. Sad to see Conor has fallen so far. He’s not even a fighter anymore. Just a grifter.

Thanks for the update, and probably we should be expecting that this is not going to happen, it become so quiet after the initial released of this news and yeah, the payday was going to be the biggest in boxing history and so somewhat it's really ridiculous as even Fury vs Usyk hasn't seen that numbers. And all of the venues though, India which is not known as a stronghold in boxing, but it was just the Ambani has so much money right now, but still doesn't make sense for him to pull this out off. In any case, if Conor will have to make a comeback it should be really be in UFC, that is if he still wants to make a lot of money while he is still has it inside of him to fight.

Ya, I don’t know what is up with the Paul brothers but it seems like they’re resorting to click baiting to try and stay relevant. Maybe their internal numbers are showing that their fan base is falling off or something. Seems like they’re just grasping for dollars these days. I wonder if it’s just them trying to get as much as they can or if they have a plan.

But why they will do that when both are really very popular in the world of exhibition matches already? Or perhaps there was a big pressure to the Ambani to raise that kind of money and so they understand that it won't have the good returns, in short it's going to be a waste on money on their side and there will be no effect on them on India in general so they decided to cancel it.

For Conor, it's an obvious big loss on money as well, and with all the troubles that he had with law recently, he might really be needing to have this big fights as there could be money problems for him right now. But it's all good that they have cancelled it and so he will have to go back to UFC if he wanted that huge comeback and not this kind of exhibition fight.

I'm pretty sure that the cancellation of the fight was planned in advance. Apparently, the goal was to create another hype around one of the Paul brothers. It seems that the celebrities of previous years, by inviting whom the brothers could have maintained an interest in their boxing "performances", simply ran out and there was no one to invite.
Well, we will continue to watch the Paul brothers, it is possible that they will come up with something interesting.

That's too bad. If this would have been a real fight, without a screenplay or anything, a REAL fight, this could have been fun. But yeah, when one side is coked out of his mind all the time and the other one is a notorious scammer nothing good can come from it.
So sad nowadays how these people desperately fight for attention and validation. They already have all the money in the world and still need to pull nonsense like this just to be in the news. Roll Eyes

His number 1 argument is that there are not $250 million on the line (which I think for the majority, it's really absurd to hear that kind of money being on the line in this fight). And that the Ambani is doing it for India for tourism Huh

He also had a good point wherein if India wanted to promote a boxing fight, then get the best boxers, simply as that.

So, you’re saying they’re just inflating the numbers to grab everyone’s attention? Well, if that’s not true, how would they handle the taxes when the government expects them to declare that amount? And if they report a lower amount, their reputation could be affected.

I can't answer about the taxes as I don't know the specifics, but from what I understand here, it's the question of how big the money is, we haven't heard that kind of numbers before and that is huge for a exhibition fight that is going to be held on a country that is not known to produce boxers.

Quote from: Ziskinberg on January 10, 2025, 12:52:01 AM

I really don’t get why they would lie for publicity. There are so many complications that come with that, such as tax issues, credibility problems, and more. It just doesn’t make sense to me.

It will make sense if this fight is going to be official. Just for the perspective, Mike Tyson reportedly got $20 million from Jake Paul fight, and there are a lot of hype and buzz on it, but fans are disappointed. So just imagine the hype here and then it didn't live up to it.

This could be an interesting staged performance. I'd love to see Jake's older brother Paul. It's even possible that the fight could be more spectacular than with Mike Tyson (after all, they took care of Mike, he's a little old). Conor McGregor has been scandalized in recent years, which only fuels interest in him. Logan Paul is bigger. I even find it difficult to decide who to bet on. I'll probably bet on Logan. And of course, the stated reward amount of $250 million looks too high. I don't think that's true. However, perhaps this unrealistic gigantic sum is just a fake to whet the public's interest in the fight.

That’s how fights are hyped these days. When it comes to the actual purse, they could easily keep the real amount under wraps so people still believe it’s as massive as they claim. Public perception plays a big role as seeing a $250 million purse for both boxers makes people think it’s a high-stakes fight, which boosts interest and gets more viewers excited to watch.
