Topic: Jake Paul v Hasim Rahman Jr / Amanda Serrano V Brenda Carabaja co-main event Aug (Read 1001 times)

I would back a Jake KO too. I'd be surprised if KSI takes this fight, and especially if it was a winner takes all as he initially proposed. I'm sure he will have some excuses as to why it falls through and was just hot air. Personally, I'm hoping Jake just gets the Tommy Fury fight sorted. I'm sure it would be easy to do in the UK. No excuses for Tommy then and Jake gets the kudos of fighting a "real" boxer. It's a fight he can win too but not one that would be easy for hhim either but he needs a challenge. 

From what I can gather, KSI hasn't been massively in shape the past few months, and only recently started to get toned up. I know that doesn't always mean a lot, since you have fight camps for a reason, but you'd expect him to look a bit better than he did if he was training constantly. Also, fights are different to sparring as I think anyone involved in the fighting business would agree too. He hasn't had proper fights, and rules, and regulations means he can't be going full on in the gym in sparring, unless the gym is absolutely terrible, and don't care for their fighters. However, I believe he has been training with Vidals dad, right?

I have no doubt in my mind Jake would take this fight. KSI said Jake was avoiding him at the start of KSI's career, which might have been true, but I think the shoe is most certainly on the other foot now. Jake wins by KO, and I'm more of a fan than KSI than Jake.

Are you new to boxing? Agreeing to something on twitter is not a done deal nor is it legally blinding. I don't think KSI agreed to it either, just proposed it not expecting Jake to agree to it. Do you know how many fighters have agreed to fight publicly then one of them backs out or doesn't go though with it? Happens every month. Fights fall through even after both parties have everything agreed but just need to put pen to paper and sign off on it. Eddie Hearn says he's lost count of how many fights have fallen through because the fighters couldn't agree on something as simple as who gets to walk out first or who's name takes first billing. Two fighters saying they fight will on Twitter is just the first of many steps, and that's assuming KSI wasn't just chatting shit in the first place and just trying to get attention for his upcoming fight which is probably going to bomb seeing as he's fighting a nobody now and it's on PPV as well. Can't see many people paying for that.




I'm sure he's exaggerating the amount but it may have worked out to that over the contract time if a genuine offer. I believe Drake is getting millions a month from Stake so Jake would probably get a similar deal, but if Jake is starting his own company then why just take money from another company when you can make that and more with your own company? He has his own boxing promotions company and will get free advertising on all his and his fighters cards so it's a no brainer really. Why promote a brand when you can become the brand. He could easily become bigger than Stake the way he's going.


I doubt KSI would actually want this fight either and he's already coming out with excuses. He could have fought him in London but would rather fight a nobody. His upcoming fight this month is almost certainly going to be a flop. The only way I see KSI fighting Jake is if KSI has improved massively since the Logan fight, which of course is possible but with only one fight under his belt we have no idea. Jake has come a long way in a short period of time so there's no reason why KSI couldn't either. I think taking on Jake Paul might be a bit of a leap for him though. I'm sure Jake would happily take this fight though because he like knows or at least thinks it's an easy fight for him. The more wins Jake gets under his belt the more his stuck rises so he's going to be desperate to keep that winning streak for the big boys that will come sniffing around soon enough.

I've thought the KSI vs Jake Paul fight has been dead in the water for a long time. Jake Paul has clearly advanced beyond KSI's skill level. It would be a stupid fight on all levels. Jake Paul likely gets the finish, while KSI loses stock. I don't blame KSI wanting to duck that fight if the rumours are true. He would simply not benefit from it other than the share of the purse he would be guaranteed.

Jake Paul, despite what some might think of him has become a real boxer. He has dedicated the last few years to building a reputation in the sport, and while he might have cherry picked his opponents who doesn't when they're just starting out. Hell, I think big names like Joshua, and Fury cherry picked their opponents quite late into their careers. It's only now they're at the top level, they aren't so much. Although, Fury generally went for the more tougher opponents than AJ.

But they can only afford to shame the ones like Tyron Woodley because Jake and Logan cannot possibly defeat any pure MMA or boxer in their own weight class. There are so many names that have been connected to these brothers that is why I cannot keep up anymore which of them will be the real foe that they will fight in the right. We heard funny match-up that these brothers believe they can defeat, like Jake against Ngannou and Logan against Iron Mike.

Both brothers do have upcoming fights all the time but are also canceled many times. They seem to shame the MMA fighters, if they can't find someone like Woodley to fight them, they go for the Youtube celeb as well.

Jake vs Andrew Tate is one of the upcoming but God knows when this will be announced to be real. Logan vs Dillon Danis. This one could be possible Danis is fit and had no career left. This man will fight to the end if Logan will really tries him.

That is their forte and they really know how to make money in the boxing industry even though they aren't really a type of boxers who will be a champion in any weight class someday, well maybe it's possible for Jake but for Logan? I don't think so.

Jake's chance to finally be considered as a professional boxer has fallen into pieces because Rahman is his ticket for that. I really pity him because he really wanted to be a boxer just like his close friend, Ryan Garcia who is now successful in making his name known in the industry

these paul brothers will not stop up until there are no more interested opponents, and they are still selling the fight. so what they are doing is strike while the iron is hot. they may not be professional boxers, but they found their way to extract some money via these exhibition fights. the interest will start to wane as we have real boxers that are already fighting again inside the ring. so maybe, later on, these paul brothers will stop when no one dares them inside the ring anymore.

They won't really settle to fight Jake Paul because like for example Mcgregor, I never see him fighting with some common fighter or some vlogger. Jake Paul has been delayed to fight because no one really wants to take his condition, especially since the fighters he wanted to fight are famous and not jokers.

They both agree to it.  Seems pretty official to me.  It's literally straight from the horses mouth.  Given that the last two of Jake's "official" fights were cancelled, I think this is as official as it gets until they step into the ring.

I find it a little hard to believe he'd turn down $40 million dollars to promote anything, but if he did, good for him.  It sounds like he's got bigger plans of making a whole lot more than that, which I wish him luck.  If he turned down $40 million from Stake though, he's just plain dumb unless it came with some sort of no-compete clause. 

It's far from official. They've just verbally agreed to the fight on Twitter. It might make it more interesting if it's a winner takes all fight as KSI requested: https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/boxing/breaking-jake-paul-accepts-ksis-27685364


I'm not sure if KSI will keep his end of the bargain though. Jake has a lot of options either way: Tommy Fury, KSI, Cobra Tate and probably Nate Diaz. I'd like to see him fight any and all to be honest. I still think KSI would be an easy fight for Jake unless KSI has improved massively rom his last fight.

It seems Jake is starting his own Sports media company / Betting site as well called Betr: https://twitter.com/jakepaul/status/1556641526612205571

He also says he turned down 40 million to promote a Crypto casino. I wonder if that was Stake?

Looks like the Jake Paul vs KSI fight is official now.  They're not doing it until next year for some reason, which seems like a lot of downtime for Jake who was ready to fight now...  I think this is one of the lamest fights that Jake could make, but I guess he's running out of options.  Personally, I would have much rather seen him fight McGregor or Andrew Tate, but I guess those guys don't feel like Jake is near their level yet.  I will be happy when this youtube boxing stuff is over with and must admit I'm surprised Jake has been able to carry this on for so long.

This would be an interesting fight. Andrew was a half-decent kickboxer and is pretty hot right now so it would sell tickets. Obviously not being able to use his feet the advantage would be towards Jake, especially with him being a lot younger. I'd watch it, but I'm still hoping for the Tommy fight.


Jake Paul would spark KSI out easy and I think both Jake and KSI know it. KSI v Logan Paul was a very close fight even though KSI technically won and Jake is a much better fighter. KSI will probably have a lot of excuses why he won't take this fight, but I'd be surprised if he accepts Jake as essentially a step in. It would sell much more if they built and hyped this fight up rather than Jake being just a replacement fighter. I'd watch it and I think Jake wins this easy so it will only add to Jakes hype.

I didn't know there was once a KSI vs Logan fight so this is thier rival. Well, a youtube celebrity vs youtube celebrity makes a full time hype. KSI said he will knock out Jake, I guess this fight is on.

But now that Jake has accumulated fight experience, I think he already needs the proper training and boxing career not just for the sake of headlines over headlines.

He floated the Andrew Tate fight, but I don't think Tate would accept to be honest.  He seems to have turned his focus to KSI now.  He's been posting all day long on Twitter and making videos about how KSI is ducking him.  Jake Paul agreed to fight in London at 180lbs and even said that he would fight FOR FREE.  I think there's a chance it will actually happen because of that.  It seems like for KSI, this is the no-brainer fight to take.  Although if Jake Paul destroys him, it would probably show that him and Logan Paul aren't the amazing fighters they were built up as.

Hehehe if Jake Paul gives a good offer for Andrew Tate and Andrew accepts, this will be one of the highest payperviews in the history of the sport of boxing. Andew Tate has become quite the internet personality that is being idolized by young people for his life counseling in social media.

Whatever the case is, the fight has been cancelled due to some weight complications, and honestly, they could've found some way to make the fight if they truly want it to happen but Jake doesn't want to risk his pro record for a fight that his odds is quite lower. As you said, Jake was quite wise to just accept a 205 lb. fight and no higher than that because Rahman will embarrass him for sure in the ring.

Yep, almost 205 lbs, not sure what Rahman is trying to get here, but maybe he was trying to emphasize that maybe if we went over 205 lbs (the agreed weight), the excess weight could be subtracted to his purse, but I don't know.


He could, and that is the original plan in the first place, fight Tommy Fury. Anyhow, he could still be a good promoter, or shall we say he can make a lot of money by hyping all his fights in the future.

As long as Jake Paul is winning and his wins are coming from knockouts the money keeps coming in, yes he is indeed a good businessman no way he will fight fighters like Ngannou who is at the peak of his career, he'll always go for someone who is on a losing streak but still popular I hope someone recommended Derek Lewis he is in losing streak but still popular and dangerous, it could be an exciting fight and Lewis could bust Paul's career.

Jake Paul is calling out Andrew Tate now after his last two opponents haven’t been able to find their way into the ring. I think Andrew Tate is one of the few people that is hated more than Jake Paul is. I’d love to see this fight and I’m not sure how well Andrew Tate can box, but given his ego I think there’s a decent shot of a fight like this happening and drawing an audience. The only thing is that I’m not sure Andrew Tate needs the money.
