This could be fun fight to watch and I am expecting for Jake Paul to release new provocations towards Dana White and UFC payment system.
He already has:

Just saw this news. I am so sick and tired of this kid and his brother fighting these old dudes who aren’t even boxers. I mean Anderson Silva is 47 years old. I guess if I could fight someone who played a different sport, is much older and past their prime yet still make millions of dollars I’d do it to. I just want to see these dudes actually fight a legitimate boxer their own age.
Regardless I’ll be tuning in hoping for a Silva KO.
People need to stop watching these fights then they will magically go away as there won't be any money in it. I watched the first couple I will admit but they were boring at best. How much money these dudes making off the fight is that public?
You can easily google this info. The fights wouldn't be made if there wasn't money in it and when they do well there's an insane amount to be made.
https://talksport.com/sport/boxing/1188184/ksi-jake-paul-clash-pay-per-view-sales-reported-230000-buys-most-recent-event/The report says KSI’s fight night did 230,000 buys on DAZN in the UK, the Republic of Ireland and the USA.
This is fewer than Paul’s fights against Ben Askren and his first contest with Tyron Woodley, which did over 500,000 buys each. Although, KSI’s fight night has surpassed Paul’s most recent outing against the former UFC welterweight champion, which did 200,000 buys.
Quote tweeting the article, Paul said: “Bull**** aside, the PPV business ain’t easy.
“Congrats to KSI and his boxing company. Those are great numbers. The day we finally settle this, it will break the internet and do some big PPV numbers on Showtime. "
People like Jake are hoping they can build up to that mega-money fight against someone like McGregor or Mayweather which will come with a life-changing amount. Once Connor is done with the UFC I'm sure he'll start taking these boxing exhibition matches but for now he's stuck with the UFC and daddy Dana isn't going to let him fight a youtuber, especially not one he has beef with.
