I don't think these are rumors.  It seems to be a legitimate fight with contracts already signed.  It might not be the most exciting fight watching a punk kid fight an old legend.  It's as close as they could get to Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson though, so at least they're trying to maintain some entertainment.  I wonder how long Logan will be wrestling for until he gets back in the boxing ring.
Anderson Silva also received his boxing license from the commission, so it's very likely he's fighting Jake Paul. I'm quite excited about it, people aren't giving Anderson enough credit. He's already boxed successfully.

As for Logan Paul, I think the money is currently in the wrestling for him. However, I know KSI is back to boxing so I think that's pushing Logan to actually do something too. I'm not sure who Logan would fight though, potentially one of Jake Paul's opponents, and then maybe we'll see the difference between the two.

I’m a fan of Anderson Silva back on his prime on UFC before his leg injury. He has a superb boxing skill and agility to dodge close combat punch as if everything is slow motion but his last 3 matches before he retired shows his weakness and slow movement for his reflexes which I think the main reason why he is not the favorite on this match since the fight will be boxing while Jake Paul already dedicated his life on this sports even if it’s not on professional way. Silva is playing on different sports which means his experience is not that much helpful since his opponent specialty is already on boxing.

I think this match is fair unlike typical exhibition match that usually the unprofessional boxer is always on losing side. This time I can assume that Jake Paul has chance of winning.

It doesn't make me wonder why Jake Paul managed to attract huge names into his shit show. He has the money. He's dangling a juicy amount in front of these fighters. It's probably big enough that they can hardly resist the offer. But what's sadder is the fact that these living legends, brave fighters, and former respectable champions have to bite the offer. They must be in need of money that they are willing to somehow bring themselves into a joke of a show, possibly getting humiliated by a mere showman.  

Indeed, this is often the main reason for the appearance of former top boxers in the Jake Paul show and it leaves a not pleasant aftertaste after such fights, because they fought for their legacy in the dawn of their career, holding their fights in the ring.

Surely, this isn't the toughest fight for Anderson Silva. Jake Paul is no fighter actually. Anderson has faced real fighters before, with skills and power, both of which Jake doesn't have. But considering how old Anderson is, it could indeed be a tough fight for him.

Can't believe Jake Paul has the ability to convince reputable names to fight him.

Of course, he can trained hard for this fight. But then again, his age, his puncher power, his chin, once he absorbed that from Jake Paul, for sure, chances are he might get knock out again.

I dread this possibility. I don't want to imagine this happening. But it could indeed happen. That's sad.

All of Jake Paul's opponents that he beat coming from MMA do not have enough experience in boxing and they are not battle-tested in Boxing, compared to Silva who has beaten one of the top middleweight who is still at top of his career, I'm talking about Chavez Jr. now if he can beat a fighter like Chavez Jr. he can also beat fighters like Jake Paul, Silva has a good discipline like a boxer, its a good match up and can well be the toughest fight for both fighters, I hope this rumor stop and they make it a reality

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. was far from the top of his career when he fought Anderson Silva last year. He wasn't anymore the young wonder boy son of Chavez Sr. He was already going down. He was getting old and losing fights and never even reached half of what his legendary dad achieved.

Correct, Julio Cezar Chavez Jr is just a shade of his father, he didn't have the discipline in training that his father had that's why he become a bum and just fighting for the sake of money. So I'm not surprised that even a old and wash up and not a boxer type of opponent in Anderson Silva beat him up.

I searched on Google but I am not sure if it's true or not but I also found that if it is possible that Jake Paul and Anderson Silva have a match and after doing more research then I found this that they have a match in October. I am not sure if this information is accurate, correct or true if you guys wanted to ask me but i'll share the link and let you guys decide if this is even real or just a rumor just like op added on the thread title.
If that's the case, I guess they are really willing to pursue the fight. They might only have a short period of preparation but it seems like the management really wants to make money from this fight and we can't question them for that. It's all about business and they will push through if they will know that they can make money from it.

@nakamura12. It is presently just a rumor. You should search Jake Paul's social media accounts for information. The last announcement Jake Paul made was that he already found a willing opponent and that it would be big news. However, no one knows who it is. The first rumor was KSI, another youtuber who won in boxing vs. his brother Logan. The second is Anderson Silva.

October is too soon for the fight to take place, they would sell more tickets to delay it further out while people talk about it and the hype builds enough to justify ticket sales.   After all it is about the cash not so much the career development (except purely entertainment) I do not think its fixed but there is some part of agreements that would not normally be the case in a normal contest imo.

Honestly all these fights are getting old and tired.  It's a bunch of amateurs fighting and it shows in the fights.  The only reason people watch is because they are popular elsewhere.  Otherwise it's uninspiring watching these people actually box.  Was a cool fad for a minute but it's tired now.
Woodley really wasn't an amateur. Plus, Anderson is literally legendary level when it comes to MMA, and as evidenced above Anderson is a proper striker, and while he was definitely known for his kicks in MMA, he's definitely better than a amateur in terms of striking ability.

I just feel Jake doesn't get the credit, because of how I initially thought of him. So, he's fighting a uphill battle because of his past history, but he has decent striking, and he has some power in those shots. None of the knockouts were staged, and it's hard to knock someone out like he did, especially in boxing. Usually, it takes a lot of punches, like a compounding effect. His knockouts were literally off the cuff, without much damage before hand. That's not something to ignore, that's skill, and he obviously has the right biological structure to generate the power he does.

Like I said, I was also a doubter, and thought it was ridiculous, but this is a young fighter who's looking to make a career, and he's got a better record, against better fighters than most champions had. Despite them being MMA fighters, they were literally champions. Woodley being the most impressive due to him being somewhat known for his power, and chin.

Your joking right?  These are all stunt fights just for money.  They are all fights between him and retired boxers, other sports etc, I mean silva was a legend but he is a retired mma fighter let's be real here.  If Paul stuck his nose into a real boxing ring with real talent in his weight class he'd get peppered. Woodley wasn't a boxer he fought mma and the dude is 40 years old lol. This is all for show...

The reason why real boxers get pissed off at this kind of match. But if the fight pushes through, I'm expecting lots of people will still watch this fight.

Definitely, I will be the one among those lots of people who will watch the fight.  Silva already has a legacy, so his fan will definitely want to watch their idol fight once again even if it is just an exhibition match.  Besides, there will definitely be gossip roaming around as part of the marketing strategy to make the fight more interesting.

looks like Anderson Silva will beat Jake Paul and Silva once beat Julio Cesar Chavez, the former middleweight champion with 60 professional records. Jake Paul has never been in the ring with a professional boxer and he only picks the ones he can beat but not Anderson Silva.
and he's also the same size as Paul and will be Paul's first fight with an attacking oriented MMA fighter, Jake Paul knows who he's up against. Anderson would give him a look he had never seen before.

Chavez Jr. with 61 fight (53 wins with 34 KO, 6 losses, 1 draw and 1 no contest ) is really a good boxer, so Silva defeating him is not a simple feat.  Unless Jake Paul connects a KO punch, I think he will be schooled by Silva in their fight.

Well, it seems like the head of the UFC Dana White admitted that Anderson Silva can meet in the ring with Jake Paul, the fight is kind of scheduled for October 29 (but this is not accurate) as part of the Showtime boxing night, well, why not enter the ring with an opponent who is 22 years older than you.

If this fight ever happens it's obvious Jake Paul (6-0) will win this match. It's not about their history background, the fighting skills or the age differences, it's all about the money. I don't know why a living legend Anderson Silva(Boxing Record: 3-1) himself would lower his standard to fight a youtuber with a fixed match.

$30M is on the line afaik since Jake had announced it months ago that he is looking to fight someone. Crazy as it may  sound he offered $15M each to Will Smith vs Chris Rock to settle in the ring. You can really see how this guy wants to market not just himself.

A lot of this potential match were cancelled however, you can follow this  thread when he wants to fight a woman, Amanda Serrano. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/jake-paul-v-hasim-rahman-jr-amanda-serrano-v-brenda-carabaja-co-main-event-aug-5402133

Recently, it was Nate Diaz and now its Anderson Silva. Though it could just be a fix fight again, I hope to see Silva go rouge and KO him. It will be satisfying got UFC fighters but yes Anderson might not get the $30M by doing that. Cheesy

I very much agree with your statement.

This is just a clusterfest of fighters going around lately in the sports match. You see celebrities fighting boxers; and boxers fighting martial artists which are different from their sport origin. While I do think that there is a market for this in some audiences, I cannot help but to feel overwhelmed and tired with these kinds of news. It is like, you see these fighters fighting without giving their 100% on the match.

While this may be the case, I just hope that the future of fighting sports will not be centered around these kinds of fights.

Now boiled down to experience. The only hindrance for the MMA legend is, if Anderson Silva's body will still cooperate with him. Even in boxing, I'm sure Silva will dominate the young Jake Paul only if his body is still capable of following his strategy. Silva is 47 years old now. Jake Paul will surely take advantage of that.

Anyways, where does it all starts? Is it for real that Anderson Silva will go down the level of Jake Paul that turned boxing into crap?

Can't believe Jake Paul has the ability to convince reputable names to fight him.

Anderson to fight on a boxing match? Aside for being old(as a fighter) he's not used to go fist to fist fight so most provably Paul have high advantage unto this fight. I wonder if the rumors is true about this fight but let see if this will happen because even if we know Anderson have disadvantage on this fight still their match up against Paul still entertaining to watch.

 Boxing and MMA are 2 different kind of combat sport. Silva is a natural born fighter specifically in MMA and boxing requires more stamina to sustain your strength, power, and agility all throughout the scheduled round of the match.
I've seen the Silva vs Machado boxing fight and I can say Silva can actually box, however he tends to exhaust himself by throwing a lot of punches and basically he rans out of stamina maybe because like I said boxing requires more stamina coz you need to keep your head and feet movements and defend yourself all time with only your gloves on your knuckles.
Jake Paul on the other hand was a YouTuber and practiced combat sport maybe around when he's older enough compared to Anderson Silva who's been training his whole life with combat sport.
I don't think someone has an obvious advantage against each other though.
