Money is really the main purpose why boxers would risk their life or their health.

We can't blame it on the organizers of the exhibition fight as they are also running their business, it's just that they are so smart in promoting their fight and the fans are attracted with it. Without the fans, exhibition fights will not succeed, so the real fights should also try to improve their marketing so they'll not left behind in the competition, and accept that exhibition fights are already a norm in the sport now.

I am more scared how they influence on professional athletes. For example, I am a MMA fan. After such boxing exhibition fights, many ufc fighters started to ask for a greater pay cheque for their fights. They refuse to fight if they wont be paid hundred thounsands, while previously a solid fighter get 20-50k for the fight. Instead if dreaming of becoming a champ, they dream to fight this clowns. One fight against a clown brings them same money they would earn in a couple of years. If the UFC management agrees to pay their fighters more, that would mean they would have to find that money somewhere? Where can they be found? In a greater ticket and ppv price for example.

As long there's some support then for sure they would able to progress on and able to make things happen since there would be some sort of demand which is the primary thing needed and able to make things happen because they do able to get some support which is really true on the line that fans would do the rest.
And organizers would really take advantage on that stuff since they do know that they could able to benefit out

Do you remember these paul brothers who went against those black brothers (i can't remember their names and don't mean to be offensive)

Ever since then it has become a show for streamers and YouTubers to fight and their fans placing bets on them, it really is "Raise your value in the market and let the fans do all the work"

This is the first time he's squaring up against a real boxer who isn't retired.  Honestly, this is the make or break moment for Jake Paul.  Either he wins and proves that he can compete at a high level professionally in the boxing ring, or he loses to the younger brother of a prize fighter and everyone can say that this gimmick is behind us.  Personally, I'm a bit scared for the sport of boxing if he wins.  It would be like if Justin Bieber decided he wanted to play in the NBA and then start breaking people's ankles on the court.  You might pause for a minute and wonder if those pros are really as good as we're led to believe...  That's basically how I'm viewing this Paul brothers entry into boxing.

Cant disagree. What ever Jake do, people would "eat it". He can just poop and people would buy PPV with that. But I would prefer if Jake would fight either another clown (close to boxing guy) or a keep on trolling UFC by beating their former fighters.

Btw, Shaquille O'Neal does boxing Or Jake Paul should have fought Bryce Hall, making it new Youtube vs Tik Tok chapter.

I thought Woodley would KO him so I was actually very surprised with Jake's performance as Woodly isn't a pushover and that's what makes me think he's got at least a chance against Fury, or at the very least Fury shouldn't go into this thinking he's going to be an easy match. The fact that I think anything can happen in this fight is what makes it enticing for me, that and if Fury loses how are his family going to react? I mean, I don't think they will literally disown him but they'll struggle to get behind him in future fights. Tyson is apparently going to be in his corner for the fight so that adds an extra dimension too.


Yeah. Jake is either going to need a win or at the very least give a very good performance if he wants to move up to the big names next. If he gets embarrassed I doubt many people will care who he fights next. If Jake does win this though I'm sure his next fight would be someone huge as there'll be a market for it and I think Jake would be all too eager to take a big fight like McGregor/Mayweather even though he knows he'll probably lose because he knows once he does his stock will drop like a rock. Regardless of who you are there's always something alluring about being 'undefeated' even though he's only got a few fights under his belt people will either want to see you lose that status or keep it going.

I'll definitely agree with that, he did decent against Woodley. I mean I was hoping Woodley would've got the job done, but I was met with the same frustration as watching him in the UFC. Although, there was definitely a point in that boxing fight which was a little weird, he definitely caught Jake, and Jake fell onto the ropes which should technically be a knock down. Jake looked a little dazed at that point too, but did recover fairly well.



Yeah, I say it'll be a circus, but I guess that's one of the draws of boxing these days. The era is definitely changing, and boxing is becoming more entertainment outside the ring, than inside. Maybe, that is unfair, but I've definitely started to not watch as much boxing as I used too, though I'm probably an outlier, and this is partly because of MMA replacing it.

Yeah, if your Jake you fight Mcgregor whatever he offers.  Jake Paul walks out of that fight with sponsorships, and more exposure than he could ever ask for. He doesn't necessarily need the money from the fight.

what you say is true and indeed we can see the match from the background and statistics in boxing. but in some cases that have happened at exhibitions, there are some that already have a scenario or do have their own weird rules.
For example, in the match logan against maywather some time ago in the exhibition.
they do not have a winner but on the other hand there are rules that are really weird there.
when you see an exhibition match, everything is possible even if the one who competes is the world champion against a fake fighter

Why does any boxer fight? Money. Tommy isn't really a huge star but he's the younger brother of one of the biggest and one of the best heavyweight boxers in the world so there's certainly a draw there. Both have quite big social media followings but Tommy is more of an up-and-commer in boxing terms and is more of a realty TV star over here in the UK but he's trying to break away from that. It's going to be both their biggest paydays so it makes sense to both of them. In fact, Tommy's last fight on the undercard of the Jake Paul fight was his biggest payday and Paul even forgoed some of his purse so the fighters on the undercard got more which was actually a respectable thing to do. Tommy thinks it's going to be easy money for him and it should be, but the pressure is certainly on him. Like I said above, I think it's going to be win-win for Jake Paul whatever the outcome just as long as he doesn't get knocked out in the first couple of rounds.

Why would these two guys actually fight ? Ok, it is clear that Tommy is here for money. Jake Paul sells lots of PPV, he know how to promote and has an army of teenagers to follow every step he make. But what Jake Paul wins from that fight ? Except money. Is Tommy Fury a huge star ? No. Is he really famous? Maybe he is famous to somebody, but for me he is an average fighter and not a really huge celebrity. Jake hopes that with this fight he will hype somehow on Tyson Fury name? Tyson could just ignore that fight, skip attending fighting event, ignore in social media.

He did very well against Woodley and whilst obviously he wasn't a pro boxer Woodley isn't a bad one and has several KOs from punches. I think we could probably ask would Tommy even be a pro boxer if it wasn't for his family connections? I'm not sure if he would as even a mediocre fighter would probably be signed on the Fury name alone. It's like how the children of pro footballers also get shoe-horned in to teams. Some of them certainly deserve it but others probably would have never even made it to an academy if it wasn't for their father's connections. Tommy really needs to win this fight as if he doesn't he's always just going to be the little bro of Tyson riding on his coattails not to mention a laughing stock.


It would be a circus but I'm sure they'd both make it one worth watching. I wonder if the sort of money is there for McGregor. I'm sure it's a big pay day for Tommy and Jake but they're still not on the same level as Connor or the Mayweather money. Then again, I'm sure Jake would fight McGregor for even 10% of the purse so I guess it could happen. We'll have to see what Connor's next moves are. His stock is going to continue to decline the longer he's out of the ring and even more so if he keeps losing. 

I'd like to favour Tommy I really would, but he has looked subpar one a number of his fights, and as I mentioned before the hype around him is because of his name, rather than what hes done in the ring. Though, Tommy's previous performances while they may have been disappointing, they were still against professional boxers, and Paul hasn't proven himself publicly against another boxer yet. MMA, and boxing is completely different, yeah boxing is somewhat incorporated in MMA, but nine out of 10 fights some sort of grappling is used, so I'm still questioning how well Jake would do against a real professional boxer.

I don't want to see the Conor fight, that would be just a circus. A Youtuber who loves trolling, and a Conor who has completely deviated from his quick wits, and turned more hostile. I don't think I'd even find the pre fight drama entertaining. Although, with the fans turning on Conor recently, mainly his own doing I must say, knocking out Jake Paul might be a redeeming factor for him.

From what I've seen I'd say they're actually quite evenly matched, though I do think I favour Tommy. Jake has continually impressed and surprised me and Tommy has only been average and has a padded record fighting mostly bums so I think this fight is going to be a big test for both. The pressure is going to be on Tommy though as Jake isn't expected to win and Fury's family has practically said they'd disown him, or at the very least his boxing career would be over and I think I agree with them there. Not much point continuing if you can't even beat a YouTuber and that will follow him around for life. I actually think anything other than Jake getting KOd is going to be an L for Tommy. If it goes the distance then that's going to be an embarrassment for Tommy. If Jake even gives him a good fight then it won't look good for him. Regardless, I think it's a win-win for Paul regardless of what happens. If he loses then he'll just say well of course I wasn't meant to win; I'm fighting an undefeated professional boxer and a member of the renowned Fury family and go on to fight whoever will take him. If it's a draw then that's still a massive embarrassment for Fury. If Jake wins though then his stock will go up massively and don't be surprised if he ends up fighting someone huge like McGregor or Mayweather next. I can see McGregor actually clamouring for that fight the way his career is going. Tommy really needs to win this comfortably if he wants people to take him seriously and just be the little bro of Tyson.

Have you looked on Tommy Fury record yourself? Almost every his opponent was crap. Completely crap. What can you expect from an opponent, who has 26 losses and 2 draws in 28 fight ? All of his opponents looked like amateur or guys who only did sparring in gyms, than professional boxers.

2 out of 4 Jake Paul opponents, who you call a debutants, had a long fighting career in MMA. You can parry it with boxing is different from MMA, but they do train striking with boxing coaches. So the difference is not an abyss.

Well it's your choice @TheEconomists and we respect yours but you should also watch both of their recents fights to analyze it better, don't just go look at their records becausec your boy Jake Paul's recent matches was a 4 debuts while his opponent Tommy Fury takes on average fighter whom exceeds his records.
Just saying though but I respect your decision, for now I'm with @Johnyz because we're the same, we prefer to bet among the crowd favorites because it's less risky.

Yup, Tyson should be able to knockout Jake Paul to advance to a much higher league where professionals is waiting to take and taste some amateur fighters. No offense, I mean, Jake Paul is also a tough fighter with a clean record but sadly he won't get this fight in his favor. Tyson is much more experienced than him and fought fighters with more experience than him, Jake's recent fights are all debut.

That is certainly a possibility, however I would not be surprised if he was being serious as well, after all we know that Tyson Fury is the best heavyweight at the moment, this means that he obviously takes boxing seriously even if that does not seem to be the case when he is in front of a camera.

With this in mind then it is not difficult to imagine Tyson Fury demanding that his brother wins by KO, because if he cannot KO an amateur boxer then what hope he has against the professionals that are way better than Jake Paul?

What would you doubt about Tommy Fury? This guy could fight and definitely could win this fight.

Bookies are not fool to make Fury the favorite to win this fight and that's how fans see this fight as well.

here are the odds

Doubts about Jake Paul's abilities will be cleared at last. He will finally fight a real boxer!
Unfortunately, it's hard for me to say which one will win, because I have doubts about the form of Tommy Fury. If he's okay and he's prepared well, then he should have beaten Jake Paul without a hitch.
