So let's talk about the ticket sales for this fight, as reported,

Quote

The event headlined by Jake “The Problem Child” Paul and UFC legend Anderson “The Spider” Silva has established itself as the highest grossing boxing event for ticket revenue in the history of Desert Diamond Arena (formerly Gila River Arena) and the second highest-grossing ticket event across all combat sports with six days to go until fight night.

https://www.boxingscene.com/jake-paul-vs-anderson-silva-sets-ticket-revenue-record-boxing-desert-diamond-arena--169955

So I guess this is a good sign that exhibition fights will be the trend in the future. If fans are willing to pay (although there is still tickets), then definitely we will see the likes of Manny Pacquaio (having his first exhibition fight with a South Korean), or any other legends coming back from their retirement and still making huge money and you can't blame them and for fans as well because there are fights that we wanted to see that is not happening this year.

Yeah and we have been discussing that this fight is not going to be rigged in favor of Jake Paul and so to continue with his career in exhibition match.

FYI this is not an exhibition fight and it is a sanctioned professional bout and this is the 5th professional fight for Jake Paul.
Professional boxers signed the contract and then failed to show up for the fight. So Jake Paul being the promoter himself he needs to look for fights that are guaranteed and may be he took the fight against Anderson Silva because they come to fight and do not back out citing many reasons Wink

.

Is there a belt on the line here, if this is not an exhibition match?
It means, it may be worth placing a bet as they should declare a winner for this fight.
Most exhibition matches ended up as a draw or no winner because there were no judges.
Silva at 2.x odds is nice if in case this one will be a professional one.
Jake Paul wants this exposure, chasing professional boxers, so I don't think he will back out for this match.
If in case he will win on this match, this will be a good boost in his boxing career.

Not that much of a boost to Jake's career because even if we turn the world upside-down, Anderson Silva is not a bonafide boxer just like Jake Paul and also, he is a washed-out MMA fighter so there is not much credit to gain if he can win this one but there's a lot of embarrassment if Jake will be defeated.
By the way, yes, this is a sanctioned professional fight and not an exhibition match just like what other people think but there's no belt on the line.

For betting, your money, your rules but I don't really recommend to bet on this fight. We can't say for sure if it's rigged or not. Anyway, as I said, your decision mate Grin

Yeah I feel the same way, I'm first off not betting any money on this fight. These Paul fights are more of a circus show than anything else. Not to mention like you said, who knows if they are rigged or not. I mean they are social media starlets, they'll do whatever it take to stay in the limelight and I just wouldn't put cheating past them.

That said I hope Anderson knocks his face in.

We shouldn't forget that they're a YouTube influencers for starters and not the type of man who wanted to be a star in the boxing industry, it's like these people just woke up one day that they want to be a boxer, not to mention the attention and money they could get if they can pair themselves with some famous boxers or fighters just like this one, Anderson Silva. Again, not a good fight to bet and as you say, Jake Paul's fights together with his brother Logan is full of circus and not the type of boxing we would want to see.

Exactly! There are several good matches to put on your money on but not this match. Except for the reason that we don't know whether or not this match is rigged, this match is very unpredictable as well considering that the one is a washed fighter and the other is a YouTuber.
I also recommend to just bet on a professional match with the REAL boxers to it.
https://www.espn.ph/boxing/story/_/id/12508267/boxing-schedule
A lot of good matches about to go down late in October and early November, that includes Loma, Fury, and Bivol are some of the notable names.

Indeed mate! Let's put an exception on this one but honestly, I couldn't deny that it is really interesting to see this one if how will it end and to see if we are correct on our speculations. But talking about betting, nah I'll pass! There's a lot of real interesting fight these days in boxing that is more worth of our bets.

It's at Stake though, it's there but you couldn't bet on DRAW lol the fight is a few days ahead. No other option.

If I have to bet thinking this is a real fight it would be Paul. He is big, he can throw a punch, and young, just the 3 factors that can make him win. We know Silva can absorb punches but this is just not going to make him win when a big man like Paul pushes him into a corner which Anderson also likes to challenge. I bet Anderson also likes to do what he does best in UFC where he'd just stay in the corner trying to impress his head movement which he is really good at. Hope he makes a lot of money thru this event.

Will definitely betting on Anderson Silva, a true fighter. Indeed Jake Paul has the size advantage but experience Silva has, is something. Jake have shown improvement despite of his short career but I do really think that this could be an instance wherein things won't go easy for him. Silva is a veteran in this game and is not easy to be beaten even by his fellow fighters.Let us accept that Jake would be performing better over years, meaning, he's not ready for this fight yet. Odds are great as well to Jake which makes it more interesting to bet and win big time. This is exciting.

since it is an exhibition fight, we don't know exactly their fight rules here though it was stated in an article last month that fight rules is the same as under professional rules. however, how about proclaiming the winner? usually, they have prior arrangement how they proclaim the winner in an exhibition fight. if nothing else, those who are rooting for silva has better odds now that he is underdog. i hope silva will give us a good exhibition match.

Yeah and we have been discussing that this fight is not going to be rigged in favor of Jake Paul and so to continue with his career in exhibition match.

But it seems that the sentimental favorite here is Anderson Silva, I mean who wouldn't love this guy? He is already a legend and even Jake Paul acknowledge him. So hopefully they will go full throttle and fight until someone gets knock out.

And for Anderson Silva backers, at 2 odds, it's not that bad to bet on him.

Video of both boxers training for this fight:

Anderson Silva - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caleat4mZds

Silva might uses his jab more in this fight, and hopefully he can win the fight by knockout.

And here is Jake Paul - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-ddFMBzVpI

Jake said that he is going to go for that knockout, hehehe and then kiss and make up after the fight. Both respected each other so there will be no trash talking in this fight.

Yet people did not learn from these mistakes, they still bet hoping that this time will be different and there will be a winner that will be announced. It's really hard to see winners and losers from a fight that is participated by two famous fighters, even Jake Paul admitted that he's a fan and respects Anderson Silva ever since Jake's was still a kid. So that's already a sign that these two are only fighting for the money and the fight will result into a draw, I could be wrong, but the chances are not worth the risk.

I really wish people would stop with this nonsense. ALL fighters are just fighting for the money. You do know that a lot of fighters actually respect each other and it's not all actually kill or be killed. Half of the 'beefs' in combat sports are just manufactured or exaggerated to try cause hype and sell the fights anyway: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0z-oJTZ1b5Q

It's probably actually quite rare that fighters genuinely have a hatred for each other, and even the ones that do seem to generally dislike each other often hug it out after the fight. Jake has done the right thing here by being genuine about his appreciation of Silva rather than just trying to fake some conflict just for the sake of it. He's said he respects him but he's also going to KO him, and he will try his best to I'm sure. Jake could be fighting his own brother but he would still try to get the KO. Jake is on a roll and is unbeaten and he's going to want to keep adding to the hype train to try get that huge KSI/Connor/Mayweather fight. If he loses or puts in a poor performance his chances of making those fights diminish. If Jake gets another stellar KO then that's another clip for his highlight reel and he inches towards a megabucks fight with one of the aforementioned.

Not sure what you mean exactly, but isn't it possible to both respect a fighter for their career or persona, and want to fight them to progress your career? Honestly, I quite like it when fighters are friendly, and have a mutual respect. Plus, we haven't really seen this side of Jake before, which is honestly quite refreshing.

It took me a while to really click onto the idea, but Jake has built his whole career, boxing, and Youtube off of a bad boy persona that basically makes everyone hate him. However, in all likelihood, he's not the same guy that he portrays.

It's an act, very much like past time greats. To some degree, Ali was an act. Jake just does it a little bit different, and no I'm not comparing Ali, and Jake just to make that clear to everyone.

Personally I think all of the jake Paul fights are staged. Go back and watch, it looks to me like his opponents are really holding back. There is a world of difference between athletic guys and champions. Jake Paul doesn't belong in there with the top guys. Just my opinion though. One thing I do like is that some mma guys that didn't really get paid during their mma careers are getting some big paydays from a glorified workout with Paul. Can't complain about that. And if people like this stuff, and want to be entertained, I have nothing against that either. If I was to bet, I would bet on Paul to win, because I think that is the predetermined outcome, but, I can see Silva accidentally pooping him one and getting the ko, so I don't think I will actually bet on the event.

Of course, what do you expect from this kind of fights? this is all for fun and money grab for them, specially for high level former fighters. But the hype they are putting prior to the fight though that makes other believed that they really wanted to take each other heads off. But when the bell rings, they are holding it back and not giving their 100% on the fight. And when the winner was announced, it could be a draw and everyone was so frustrated with the decision specially if you have a bet on it. So it's better to stay away from actually betting on this kind of exhibition fights.

Yet people did not learn from these mistakes, they still bet hoping that this time will be different and there will be a winner that will be announced. It's really hard to see winners and losers from a fight that is participated by two famous fighters, even Jake Paul admitted that he's a fan and respects Anderson Silva ever since Jake's was still a kid.

I'm split myself as I was with the Woodley fight. It's probably going to be Jake's toughest challenge yet, though I'd put it in the same category as Woodley. Woodley is nearly ten years younger than Silva so he has the age advantage, but Silva was a much better MMA fighter and is now doing fairly decently in boxing himself so there's pros and cons to bother fighters in terms of matchups. If I had to put money on it maybe it goes the distance and Jake on points. I kinda want Jake to win though just to see how far he can actually take this, and ultimately I really wanna see him fight someone like McGregor. The build up to that fight would be epic with all the trash-talking and I think Jake could give Connor a good game in that respect.

Yeah, it's a tricky fight to call in my opinion despite what some boxing elitists are saying, including some very famous boxers, but there we go. The only thing I'd say is Anderson is known to put some volume out, whereas Woodley was nicknamed "the frozen one" since he basically looked like he froze at times, and you could see that still happening in the ring. It's not necessarily a flaw, as he had some obviously very successful times in the UFC. Although, Anderson does put a lot of stuff out there, and that's what I'm most interested in.

If Jake can also prove he can fight on the back foot, and defend intelligently. I actually think he could go somewhere pretty decent in his career.

When people start these vs threads they should really make them polls. I’m curious who the community feels is going to win this one but don’t want to read through and tally everything myself. I think that youth is going to beat experience in this one, but I also don’t think Jake can knock him out so we’ll have to see if he can win when it comes down to a decision.

I feel the community will be divided. The thing is Jake has knock out power, but will he be able to use that knock out power now he has a bit of volume coming back at him. Plus, Anderson is a tricky fighter, he's not your traditional boxer, and he doesn't throw traditional punches. However, he does throw them quite a lot which I think is the difference between this opponent, and all previous opponents. We've yet to see Jake be put on the back foot, and I think at the very least Anderson will be able to do that at some point in the fight.

I'm currently swaying towards Jake though, which pains me to say as I loved Anderson in the MMA scene.

I'm split myself as I was with the Woodley fight. It's probably going to be Jake's toughest challenge yet, though I'd put it in the same category as Woodley.

It's been said a thousand times style makes a fight, both fighters are good in both offense and defense and they are both capable, I won't consider the age, I am more considering their conditioning both fighters consider this as their level up fight, both trains are on the go and one of the trains is going to stop after this fight, I like Silva to win, but a win by Jake Paul will unfold another exciting journey and you are right Connor should be the next if Jake Paul's train continues, it's not going to be battle of skills only but a battle of thrash talks, I am more curious on their thrash talks than on their fight Cheesy

When people start these vs threads they should really make them polls. I’m curious who the community feels is going to win this one but don’t want to read through and tally everything myself. I think that youth is going to beat experience in this one, but I also don’t think Jake can knock him out so we’ll have to see if he can win when it comes down to a decision.

I feel the community will be divided. The thing is Jake has knock out power, but will he be able to use that knock out power now he has a bit of volume coming back at him. Plus, Anderson is a tricky fighter, he's not your traditional boxer, and he doesn't throw traditional punches. However, he does throw them quite a lot which I think is the difference between this opponent, and all previous opponents. We've yet to see Jake be put on the back foot, and I think at the very least Anderson will be able to do that at some point in the fight.

I'm currently swaying towards Jake though, which pains me to say as I loved Anderson in the MMA scene.

I'm split myself as I was with the Woodley fight. It's probably going to be Jake's toughest challenge yet, though I'd put it in the same category as Woodley. Woodley is nearly ten years younger than Silva so he has the age advantage, but Silva was a much better MMA fighter and is now doing fairly decently in boxing himself so there's pros and cons to bother fighters in terms of matchups. If I had to put money on it maybe it goes the distance and Jake on points. I kinda want Jake to win though just to see how far he can actually take this, and ultimately I really wanna see him fight someone like McGregor. The build up to that fight would be epic with all the trash-talking and I think Jake could give Connor a good game in that respect.
