Looks like this is just a clickbait article and fake news. And so I will say that this is not a real fight.
I will give both Jake and Canelo the benefit of doubt that they are going into the box for a real match. But if it's for just social clout, to make money off hype and people, then it's not nice. I don't expect to be experiencing the same format of game in wrestling and then boxing again. Can we just get a real fight? And if someone is leaving the ring, you don't have to pair them for a game. You can get available fighters still in the game to fight.
But how can Canelo box in exhibition match when he is still very much active in the scene and still considered as one of the best and pound for pound if I'm not mistaken. Unless there is NDA or there is something in the contract that he will not knockout Jake Paul.
Than bringing Paul, who is leaving the boxing ring just because of social clout. It makes these games less interesting to bet on. And this is why you see a low amount of gamblers engaging in these games because they make it look like child's play. It's staged, so insiders know who will win. So, if you are betting on this ones, the chances of losing will be very high, and it's not fun because it doesn't give you the real-life experience like football does.
And it seems that Jake Paul has sign his death wish if he really wants to face Canelo in the boxing ring, and then with boxing rule. Although he can call and says that the gloves or ring will be chance, still though, it's very hard to stage this fight. Although it the right kind of money is in the table, I doubt that Canelo Alvarez will refuse this fight as he is chasing money fights already to milk his career before he retires for good.
