Right, that's what they basically do right now in boxing/MMA, exhibition fights with former champions and then see how much money they can make it. Not sure how much guarantee money is for Silva, but I will speculate that it could be in the millions and then Jake Paul taking the lionshare of it. For sure there are still fans that is willing to go to live gate and watch it or buy PPV. So in any case, it's a win win. However, for pure boxing fans, not sure if they will bet on it or want to watch this kind of exhibition matches.

I'm surprised that those kind of fights are still a thing, I could understand that when we were in the middle of the pandemic and there was almost no sports events being held all around the world and people were extremely hungry for anything that seemed to be even remotely related to sports then those kind of fights got incredibly popular, but now that we can see professionals boxers fighting at the top of their skill then I do not really see the point of those fights anymore.

Figueroa's had move forward already, of course there could be what if for him, maybe he can beat this version of Broner. But he has found his peace already, and just retire for good and focus on his family. We can't say the same with Broner though, I think he will still continue to fight for some money because he has a lot of mouths to feed.


Yes it is, https://www.mmafighting.com/2022/8/30/23328607/jake-paul-vs-anderson-silva-reportedly-set-for-october-boxing-bout


Still a good fight and it make sense as it could still make a lot of money for both of them. But we all know that Anderson is way past his prime so all the advantage points to him.

Not surprised to see that the Paul brothers still have this type of fight. Well, just another buck making match for them and as well as for Anderson.
The match is said to happen by October, no odds yet for this match on stake but most likely we'll see when we go near to the match date.

Jake Paul has announced his next opponent is Anderson Silva. I think Jake might have but off a little more than he can chew this time. Sure, Silva is damn near 50 years old, but he’s got power that Jake hasn’t seen before. I like this fight. I’d rather have seen him fight Andrew Tate, but this was unexpected and a nice surprise.

Things already happened and no matter what the fans would feel about the result, they can't do anything about it anymore. They better accept it while still supporting Figueroa at the same time. Issues like this often happen especially if the fans didn't reach their expected result. If they have complaints about it, they should have provided rete proof to support their claims but since they can't provide one, I guess the best thing to do for them is just to accept defeat.

A very good reason for him to fight and make money, or he just wanted to retire and copy how retire fighters making money, I mean he can do exhibition fights, much lighter and he don't need to train that much, Just my opinion and I'm not sure if that's the real score. But along the way he still needs to make money and since he is still young and he can still fight, a chance to come back or to make some decent earnings is still possible for him from this sport.


Yeah, that's really affecting them if they start embarrassing their millions and failed to continue their routines. Fighters who stop or lessen their time with trainings and drills mostly gained a lot of weights. If there's no self-will, it will be hard for them to win back their fighting form and the chance of winning is also slimming since the body conditions are no longer the same.

Too much partying contributed to the degradation of his career, if you are not a very disciplined fighter it will catch up with you, Pacquiao lasted long in his career because of his outstanding discipline, even if he has no scheduled fights he still trains hard, he's been like this since 12 years old and he never stopped training,  boxers after long inactivity gain a lot of weight, in the case of Broner his reflexes and power are not there anymore and besides all the fighters in this generation are tougher and more discipline.

When he was still a popular boxer, there are plenty of videos circulating online about how lavish he is when it comes to spending his money. So now, I think he might be indebted because he ain't making a lot of money, and if he still keeps his old lifestyle, he sure is facing a big problem until now.

Exactly. If Adrian Broner retires at an early age then this might mean the mental health problem was true. Something is bothering him or some sickness hit him as most boxers do. All the critics about him just copping out against Omar Figueroa will be shut down as he hangs his gloves.
It's just sad that he won't be able to maximize the length of fighting as other boxers do. Like Manny. 40+ years and still kicking for millions of dollars.  

Atleast both of them made an impact on Adrien Broner's career, to simply put it Broner was really cocky during the weigh-in and said some weird stuff on Maidana, Man! I really love that Marcos Maidana has humble Broner, that was the first loss that Adrien Broner has changed in his fight patterns indeed after seeing that fight it was the time everyone is seeing Broner just drop down to the canvas, it was really the 1st time Adrien Broner felt the loss and shame so it really was the one that lingers, but for Manny Pacquiao, this is his last shot he thinks he can beat Pacquaio so he can get his confidence back but it was all to naught when he was shown the power of Manny Pacquiao, he hasn't returned to his usual self,


How I wish it will not be a retired MMA fighter or a retired boxer, somehow after you have said Andrew Tate I kinda like the sound of it Jake Paul kind of beating the crap out of the most toxic man to ever be alive that would be a great watch, knowing that an Andrew Tate could be pulverized by Jake Paul that would be awesome at some point,

On Sept. 4, and that will be this Sunday the match between Andy Ruiz Jr. vs. Luis Ortiz will be in action, and for me, Andy Ruiz Jr. has the speed on his punches, despite his fat appearance, looks can be deceiving and pretty much stake odds for this fight was pretty much all for Andy Ruiz Jr, for bettors to win this fight and I totally agree about it,

Andrew Tate would be the very best opponent for him if they want much payperviews from the younger fans hehehe. However, from Jake's tweet it appears to be someone else, I reckon. Someone who might have fought one of the Paul brothers already and had the victory? I predict the next opponent might be KSI. KSI has fought and knocked out Luis Pineda recently. He is a Mexican professional boxer who has a record of 2 wins, 5 losses hheehehe.

@Baofeng. Can you suggest a list of the top 10 boxing events or fights for September that everyone should be watching.

It seems that we have a good fight last night, Commey vs Pedraza battling it out for a split draw. I was waiting for this fight but it seems that the fight started late as I expected so I didn't see it. And so I was surprised to see how the fight turns out. It seems to be the favorite Pedraza rallied in the last 4 rounds to force that verdict. Commey suffered a cut and they Pedraza take advantage of it to somewhat get out of the eventual lost. Scores where: Judge Henry Gueary scored for Pedraza, 97-93, David Sutherland scored it 96-94 Commey and Judge Gary Ritter scored it 95-95.

Adrian Broner is already showing signs of inconsistencies even prior fighting to with Pacquiao.

I'm not even sure why he is considered to be an opponent to Manny Pacquaio although he is a front-runner during that time. The result of that fight against Pacquiao is not even close and his final score is really bad.

Broner is still young at age 33 but seems his fighting performance is almost like around 40 years old already.

Here's the tweet

Massive is someone who can bring a lot of audiences and ring and PPV sales it should be good and live up to what he just announced, Andrew Tate is good and worth the massive news but let's see if is really something massive and worth our time discussing and of course the boxing community to watch.

Jake Paul posted on twitter that he just got an opponent for October and he’ll be announcing it this week.

I’m really hoping it’s Andrew Tate. That is the fight to make right now for the money and one that is actually be excited to watch and maybe even pay for. Fingers crossed it isn’t some no name boxer at the end of his career.

I'm on that opinion, maybe the money that him and his camp will be receiving ain't interesting anymore and the mentality inside him about fighting is not that important I mean he don't have the good career to protect so maybe he's not interested to go inside the ring or he's not willing to be trained that hard and try to win a fight and hype his name.

Or, another thing is promoters are trying to make a writeup about him and try to attract readers, especially his fans to push him

to make a comeback, just speculation though but also possible. It's business, so making things like this might engage people and
brig possible tickets conversions when he signs another deal.

But he is not old yet, if he wants to continue fighting then he can do it, however, he might not be making good paycheck unlike before because his popularity has already gone down. His lost to Manny was one sided, but the fans could understand since from the very start, we already know that Broner's chance to win is very slim.

I think the Manny Pacquiao lost was the final nail in the coffin for Broner's career. But it was really Maidana (his first lost) that really haunts him because after that he was really exposed as just a regular fighter, and when he step up next against Shawn Porter he then suffered another lost and then to Mikey Garcia. So when Manny beat him, we could say that he is already on the downside of his career. and no longer that hungry, and this could start his career as a journey man. Maybe just 2 more fights and then his done for good.

I agree, I was about to say that, it was really Marcos Maidana who took the soul of Broner, Lol, after his defeat he is no longer the same, and become the laughing stock of the internet. But he can't accept it so he continue to fight and even if he is beaten by Manny, he thinks he still won. I'm on the fence as well with he call the fight off with Omar Figueroa citing mental issues. But I have a feeling that Broner will still continue to fight just to have the money because he as a lot brushed with the law and then he will have to continue his child support.
