No way mate! Let's bet. Cheesy Many casuals already understood that their idol Jake Paul is not that special after losing his first fight against a real boxer. Although they have no idea that Tommy Fury is not even a top 20, very raw and clumsy so some might believe Paul's statement that he improved and that he is a real prospect to become a world champion. So maybe this can reach 500k PPV buys.

The undercard is not that exciting either, it's a mismatch. Amanda Serrano clearly beat Heather Hardy years ago so at 41 she will lose worse than their first match. My PPV buys prediction in this event is 300k and I'm already generous with it as this could be much lower.

I would have to agree that this fight is not even getting close to the numbers that Spence and Crawford did. It is the second biggest fight of the year, it's a professional fight. As compare to Nate Diaz vs Jake Paul who is purely for entertainment as this is just a exhibition match and most likely they are just here for the money.

And if might not end good for Diaz, going to be competitive in the first 3 rounds. But after that, Paul's will take over as per his experience in boxing. Maybe less than 500k PPV buys for me.

Yup, there are no high expectations about this event specially about their figures that somehow it will be comparable because majority of the people knew that the results are already clear enough even before the bell rang and as expected, it did happened where Nate was defeated and Jake Paul won and it is not that surprising anymore because Jake Paul can only defeat MMA fighters who are transitioning to the sports of boxing.
Next up is their rematch inside the cage and I seriously hope it will happen just like what was said days prior.

I didn't watch the fight. Pretty sure I had more fun yesterday watching Gerard Butler's action movie, Kandahar. The fight is nothing special, it's only good for the casuals who haven't seen or heard the real fights like Crawford and Inoue earlier. The undercard would've been a good show if only they picked a better live opponent. Jake Paul tried hard entering the arena riding a tank. Cheesy

But I'm just glad Nate is finally getting his well-deserved pay. I heard he is about to get paid $10 million for that event. I wish he just choke Shake Paul until he gets unconscious but I knew it won't happen as he might not get his purse. As for the rematch in MMA, I highly doubt it. It's only marketing in order to draw interest to people that there is a rematch under MMA rules. No way Paul is going to do it against an MMA legend. Maybe Paul is willing 5 years from now, at that time Nate is too inactive and old.

There's not much to see in the first place Grin Just two good actors fooling the crowd while collecting their paychecks at the end of the event. Sadly, that figure you mentioned is just too high from what did Nate Diaz got from that fight because in this article, it was said that Nate was just given a guaranteed $500k (PPV not included) while Jake Paul brought home $2 Million. On the bright side, that is 150k more from Nate's last fight against Tony Ferguson in the UFC as he was just given $350k at that time.

Nate explains he hurt his shoulder which is the reason for his sloppy performance. I was expecting him to be knocked out after that 5th round fall but he is tough to have fought standing til the end. Just a poor performance off him after going up to 200lbs while he is more confident in 155 for his UFC career.

If he is what he was back in time when he fought Conor, it probably ends in the most humiliating defeat of Jake. Yup he is old and best to retire.



Now he is too much older to continue fighting, it is going to really very hard for him to continue fighting. You know it is common for every fighter, when anyone adapted to a certain weight class for a long period of fighting it is really hard for him to move up or down his weight class. This is also a prominent factor in his loss.




I guess you can say that but, in my perspective, I see a different version of him because what I think of him is that he was just there fighting in the ring to make an easy money by taking advantage of an MMA fighter who wanted to test their versions as a boxer. While there is also that chance where he is indeed training to be a bonafide boxer but he cannot achieve what he is aiming for if he cannot even defeat a real boxer.

Bringing Mike Tyson in the table for discussion is again an easy money because people will surely watch Mike Tyson, not to see if he can still fight because that is not even a question, but people will be watching him because it's nice to see Iron Mike stepping in the ring again as a boxer.

I want to say his main target was to earn money as much as he can, and with it, he also tried to gain popularity in the boxing world. But the thing is i cant say that he has done very well to acquire popularity positively.  But you know popularity is popularity, whatever positively or partially positive. Now what I want to say is that he is beating people, he should not be able to beat. So he is certainly doing good work with his training.

But I also agree that he just cannot invite people who are not professional boxer and beat them in boxing. He should definitely try to beat a real boxer.

But what can we say, Nate endurance is different, he is very durable. I didn't bet as well in this fight because it's hard to predict this kind of exhibitions. But it seems the Jake is really serious and tries to score a knockdown or a knockout win.
He is known for that, so I was not surprised that he could get up and not even showing a little wobbly after the knockdown.
True, Jake Paul is trying to end it but it won't work with Nate Diaz, that guy is a tough dude with a chin that is known in the UFC that cannot be broken down.  Cheesy

Surely that is just how good Jake Paul is fighting old retired MMA fighters once he steps inside the ring with a true boxer then he is minced meat I sure hope the Salt Papi vs Jake Paul fight is still in progress because I would like to see it but I am also doubting it because Jake Paul only wants to show his boxing prowess with an MMA fighter, surely Nate Diaz also amazed me as well showing his durability, cardio, and wits inside the ring against Jake Paul Nate Diaz is still the winner in the eyes of his fans, and with this fight, there is a lot of Criticism and bashing for Jake Paul for this fight it seems when he lost with real boxer he gets back to fight on MMA fighters are like a bully,
Not just criticism from boxing analysts but even the fans are not liking what he is doing. You are correct, he will receive more from anybody who loves boxing. Eventually, he will need to fight a pro boxer and a true one because his name will get old and maybe will not hit the trend anymore when he keeps on fighting MMA fighters.
Still, I am not impressed with Paul until I see him against a fighter as big as him and as trained in boxing only as him because that's when we can tell that he ain't avoiding anyone.

The longer i see Jake Paul fight, the more I start to believe that he is actually trying to become a genuine fighter. I heard that he is doing hard work, and i also heard that he is definitely trying to be a great boxer. The reason why i did not respect him was because he was fighting retired guys.  But this was a good fight, i was a little surprised to see the fight, go like this to be honest, but it is what it is.

I think to get the respect of people, Jake Paul needs to do more. He’s not going to get peoples respect if he just fights against old guys.

I think someone asked Andrew Tate about fighting Mike Tyson. He said it perfectly. Basically he said that Mike Tyson is old right now.  And it is not going to be morally right for a 36-year-old Andrew Tate, who was a four times kickboxing champion by the way, fight against old Mike Tyson.

in gaining more respect he needs to step up to the game well in his recent fight with Nate Diaz he announced that he now wants to challenge Nate into an MMA fight which I think is another leap toward becoming a great fighter, which is for me his going to regret later on,

For me I want him to stick with boxing if he wants some respect he needs to fight on terms and with boxing with the same level as his, well before jumping up a notch,

If in case a rematch between them will happen in the octagon, it will surely be a regret that will put a huge embarrassment to his name and to his little branding. He should know his chance because those chances are exactly the same when Nate or any MMA fighter that he fought in the past step foot in the boxing ring, or worse even lower than that boxing not only Nate can finish the fight much easier, in that sport, Jake Paul doesn't have what it takes to fight in the cage.
And if all of this is about him gaining a respect, then he is certainly seeking in the wrong place.

They find that these kinds of boxings are more way profitable than most of the UFC fights so they put some considerations to accept is despite the fact that some of their conditions are obviously known like the knockdown earlier and other dramas inside the ring. But who cares for that when you making good decent amount of money while doing it and even more high than real fights in the UFC.

They actually did and in fact, the MMA retired fighters are fighting boxers that could make tons of money by making those 1-time fight and are curious enough onlookers that want to see an exquisite fight will surely hype it, while retiring boxers also retired and then find themselves fighting in an exhibition match finding it more profitable and safe for them, is surely what they want and maybe that is why Teofimo Lopez wants to retire early is so he can take on a fight as a retired boxer in fighting the greats before him in an exhibition match-up to gain a decent amount of money in not risking critical injury aswell,

What I like the most about this is that the boxers will always ask for revenge, no matter how much they have been beaten, even if they are dying, they always ask for revenge, it is like that pride that does not let them do more than think about winning when they meet again. see, this is the typical behavior of any boxer, I just hope that Paul gives him the opportunity and they continue with the fights and give each other a good revenge because things can happen quickly, and it doesn't happen like that fight where Crawford was almost begging a Spence did not want to give him that fight and everything ended very badly for Spence, it is a shame for him, but they are all in different positions, today you can win, tomorrow you lose, that's boxing.

Well, Nate Diaz hurt Jake Paul's ego in their fight for sure that is why he wanted a rematch and now in the MMA format rules, which is Jake Paul wants to prove that he can beat Nate Diaz even in MMA,

I think that this is how boxing has been in recent years, but a boxer should never have that thought "sometimes I win, sometimes I lose", it is the marketing of today in terms of boxing quality.  As for the rivalry between boxers for rematches, it's a classic in the sport of punches, it's not pride, it's money, it's just the idea they sell.

According to the news, Inoue is set to have more fights in the current division before moving up. This presents an opportunity for Casimero to finally face the boxer whom he called "the turtle" and claim that he is the real beast. I know he is just trash talking, but the only way to find out who is the better boxer of the two is if they fight.

Casimero is not a top contender yet based on the ranking, but as he continues to have more fights, he will eventually become a top contender. I hope the time is not too late for him to become a mandatory challenger for Inoue.

Well, but it's not bad, I like that, I think Casiero is putting his sentence on himself , Because if the Fight Occurs, things that I would like, well, whoever wins here will be able to continue showing off what he is, although I have seen Inoue's attitudes And he is a Very Respectful boxer, he is not Praising himself and he is really a person who is a good sportsman, I consider him almost a genius of the sport, because he has controlled each fight , I have not seen it yet a fight where Inoue sees him as bad, or out of his mind , while Casimero does, Casimero should mess with any boxer, but not with Inoue, in fact, in the way Inoue is at the moment , I'm sure he could even hit him a good Knockout to Casimero.
^^ Same here, I'll just see what will be the outcome, and I don't have any intention to bet on this fight either. Sure, the name of Nate Diaz still bring some hype because he was really a colorful individual when he was still with the UFC and had great matches.

But this is boxing, and Jake Paul has made a killing of this sports as he made a lot of money already winning fights and this will be the same case here. And I think the sports of boxing exhibitions are over, we are back the normal now. We do love to see some exhibitions, but we had some good boxing this year that we are done with this kind of fights as we are entertain with real boxers fighting each other.

It is obvious this fight is created to generate money for the boxer, and promoter,  and is not created for boxing development.  Though exhibition is a good thing once in a while but having too many in a short span of time makes me look at it as boring as hell.  Though I am thinking this exhibition fight is boring, I am looking forward to see the development of Shields vs Thurman mix gender boxing fight.  I wanted to see if these thing is a scripted one (someone is pulling a string behind the scene creating a fixed results that can boost one's popularity for future marketing exploits)

Maybe in the beginning and during the pandemic, it's good to see this kind of exhibitions. And really in the beginning, it was good, like Tyson vs Roy Jones. But then it was fully exploited by Floyd Mayweather and then the Paul brothers to generate millions for them and it is very effective admit it or not as they got now a company to promote their fight if I'm not mistaken.

However, now it becomes boring, and if Jake Paul wanted to be a boxer then maybe he can do it and make a pro fight. But for sure there will be less money for him and that's why he just stay in his comfort zone - exhibitions matches, easy peasy millions for them.

Yes right, if he really aiming to become a pro he always have that advantage over those who are trying to enter this industry, he already have a name and he can negotiate a fight with his chosen division, but same with what you said, the amount of money is far lesser unless he will hype his fight and encourage those followers and viewers to buy a ticket with his fight.

Or, if he can set his first fight against a champion or a good ranking fighter, maybe that will also bring some decent amount of profits.

Well, to go from being a very good UFC fighter to boxing, I know that UFC fighters use their hands more to defend themselves, but in the specific case of being boxers, I think they should be very careful, because a boxer has more experience, it resists more blows, and the UFC blows are not the same as those of a boxer, they are stronger, faster and really one of those blows can kill anyone, only with 1, me in my personal experience With respect to the contact sports, I can say it, because it is not the same to fight hapkido and then mess with a boxer, because the boxer can give a knockout when the fighter does not expect it, to switch to boxing, I think what is indicated is to train the fighter. least 1 year, and if you have a lot of talent you can go down to 6 months but with a lot of risk, boxing really is very hard, a sport that not everyone resists.

and the fight:


Jake Paul, Nate Diaz talk rematch after Saturday fight



Quote
YouTube star-turned-boxer Jake Paul decisively beat UFC legend Nate Diaz in a boxing match Saturday night, but Diaz said he’s willing to take on Paul again, whether in the ring or the mixed-martial arts cage.

“Right now we’re going to go home and we’re going to talk about it, and we’re going to figure out whether we want to do MMA or boxing, and then we’ll see what they want to do,” Diaz said in his news conference after the match.

Not sure if you are aware that the Joshua vs Whyte fight has been cancelled already due to Dillian Whyte tested positive for some ban substance through Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA).

In any case, match room's Eddie Hearn can find a replacement fighter here so that this fight is not totally postponed as others boxers in the undercard have prepared already. And for sure we will follow the case as Whyte is going to appeal and proved that he is innocence.

Dang! I didn't know that thanks for the info, it surely helps surely I haven't seen the news until I have seen some comments on Tapology this one


Then you confirmed with your post it was a bummer because we don't have pretty much upcoming good fights, although this is not really a good fight because Dillian Whyte is a picked fighter for Anthony Joshua so it is still a bummer for canceling the fight and Tapology not updating their post about it,

But whatever finding another boxing event that is worth the time to watch, now that Jake Paul vs Nate Diaz fight was already settled,

Undefeated against MMA fighters. That's the rank of Jake Paul now. But not against true boxers.  Cheesy
Nate Diaz only showed his tough chin but that's it. First round he was knocked down but as an MMA fan and a Diaz fan too, I know that will only boost the morale of Nate and not the other way around.
He loves the challenge and when he is hurt, that's when he keeps on going. That is why the fight ended in a unanimous decision instead and not a KO or TKO. I am also glad that the referee knew Nate and he won't just stop the fight even if he is badly hurt.
Nate showed how strong his cardio is even against a tough opponent, it ended as a good brawl which I thought will end quickly because Nate is old. He never fails to amaze me even in the boxing ring. That might not be his best when it comes to offense but damn, having that cardio and toughness at his age must feel pretty good for him.

Surely that is just how good Jake Paul is fighting old retired MMA fighters once he steps inside the ring with a true boxer then he is minced meat I sure hope the Salt Papi vs Jake Paul fight is still in progress because I would like to see it but I am also doubting it because Jake Paul only wants to show his boxing prowess with an MMA fighter, surely Nate Diaz also amazed me as well showing his durability, cardio, and wits inside the ring against Jake Paul Nate Diaz is still the winner in the eyes of his fans, and with this fight, there is a lot of Criticism and bashing for Jake Paul for this fight it seems when he lost with real boxer he gets back to fight on MMA fighters are like a bully,

but the wrong thing that he have done inside the ring was challenging Nate Diaz in an MMA fight that will surely be his worst nightmare Nate Diaz also explained that he already lost in a match when he clinched at Jake Paul he is really ready to take on his head but as a good sportsmanship Nate Diaz continues, well pretty much a good thing he does, as Jake Paul's confidence is risen up when he won but will surely regrets this on the MMA rule fight for sure,

No way mate! Let's bet. Cheesy Many casuals already understood that their idol Jake Paul is not that special after losing his first fight against a real boxer. Although they have no idea that Tommy Fury is not even a top 20, very raw and clumsy so some might believe Paul's statement that he improved and that he is a real prospect to become a world champion. So maybe this can reach 500k PPV buys.

The undercard is not that exciting either, it's a mismatch. Amanda Serrano clearly beat Heather Hardy years ago so at 41 she will lose worse than their first match. My PPV buys prediction in this event is 300k and I'm already generous with it as this could be much lower.

I would have to agree that this fight is not even getting close to the numbers that Spence and Crawford did. It is the second biggest fight of the year, it's a professional fight. As compare to Nate Diaz vs Jake Paul who is purely for entertainment as this is just a exhibition match and most likely they are just here for the money.

And if might not end good for Diaz, going to be competitive in the first 3 rounds. But after that, Paul's will take over as per his experience in boxing. Maybe less than 500k PPV buys for me.

Yup, there are no high expectations about this event specially about their figures that somehow it will be comparable because majority of the people knew that the results are already clear enough even before the bell rang and as expected, it did happened where Nate was defeated and Jake Paul won and it is not that surprising anymore because Jake Paul can only defeat MMA fighters who are transitioning to the sports of boxing.
Next up is their rematch inside the cage and I seriously hope it will happen just like what was said days prior.

Nate explains he hurt his shoulder which is the reason for his sloppy performance. I was expecting him to be knocked out after that 5th round fall but he is tough to have fought standing til the end. Just a poor performance off him after going up to 200lbs while he is more confident in 155 for his UFC career.

If he is what he was back in time when he fought Conor, it probably ends in the most humiliating defeat of Jake. Yup he is old and best to retire.

The reason why i did not respect him was because he was fighting retired guys.  But this was a good fight, i was a little surprised to see the fight, go like this to be honest, but it is what it is.

I think to get the respect of people, Jake Paul needs to do more. He’s not going to get peoples respect if he just fights against old guys.

I think someone asked Andrew Tate about fighting Mike Tyson. He said it perfectly. Basically he said that Mike Tyson is old right now.  And it is not going to be morally right for a 36-year-old Andrew Tate, who was a four times kickboxing champion by the way, fight against old Mike Tyson.

You own the pen


It is obvious this fight is created to generate money for the boxer, and promoter,  and is not created for boxing development.  Though exhibition is a good thing once in a while but having too many in a short span of time makes me look at it as boring as hell.  Though I am thinking this exhibition fight is boring, I am looking forward to see the development of Shields vs Thurman mix gender boxing fight.  I wanted to see if these thing is a scripted one (someone is pulling a string behind the scene creating a fixed results that can boost one's popularity for future marketing exploits)

They find that these kinds of boxings are more way profitable than most of the UFC fights so they put some considerations to accept is despite the fact that some of their conditions are obviously known like the knockdown earlier and other dramas inside the ring. But who cares for that when you making good decent amount of money while doing it and even more high than real fights in the UFC.

Good pick.
I'd prefer betting for Jake Paul too rather than Nate Diaz. This is not his zone so I guess he will have some trouble with Paul, especially with the big difference in sport. Nate is known for his tough chin but he is getting old, I may have chosen to pick him instead if only he is still in his prime.


For sure in this fight Jake Paul really has dug into Nate Diaz, he has so many punches that he has very dominant in this fight surely Nate Diaz is not really ready against a boxer for sure this is a different zone that he used with the MMA but for sure Boxing is a different league,


Yeah, I think it's an easy pick for Jake Paul in this fight. Perhaps what's interesting though is what round he is going to finished Nate Diaz. Nate could have a stealer cardio, but this is a different league for him so he might not last a distance here.

And to make huge profits for this fight, it's better to throw big money on Jake Paul, just saying.

Also, the PPV numbers, could it generate more than the recent Spence vs Crawford fight?

It was a big money that I have thrown and for sure there are many who bet for Jake Paul and have also thrown a huge amount of money for him, and Jake Paul was faster than Nate Diaz that Slick movement and punches that he have thrown to Nate Diaz that volume was really something for his weight class, was really something,



Here are the result of the fight

Jake Paul VS Nate Diaz ROUND 10 - DECISION - WIN

The 1st round was pretty much at a slow pace you can see that Nate Diaz was still not into this and maybe he is looking at what technique Jake Paul could pull he is waiting to be punched in the 1st round for sure, and on the interview, he also has said that he was asleep the whole 1st round, but when it comes to the later round he wants to show off to the fans on what he can do, and on that clinch he have said that if it was on MMA rules that clutch could become a submission win for him, well this is an opener for Jake Paul that he should think twice before going to fight Nate Diaz on MMA,

Undefeated against MMA fighters. That's the rank of Jake Paul now. But not against true boxers.  Cheesy
Nate Diaz only showed his tough chin but that's it. First round he was knocked down but as an MMA fan and a Diaz fan too, I know that will only boost the morale of Nate and not the other way around.
He loves the challenge and when he is hurt, that's when he keeps on going. That is why the fight ended in a unanimous decision instead and not a KO or TKO. I am also glad that the referee knew Nate and he won't just stop the fight even if he is badly hurt.
Nate showed how strong his cardio is even against a tough opponent, it ended as a good brawl which I thought will end quickly because Nate is old. He never fails to amaze me even in the boxing ring. That might not be his best when it comes to offense but damn, having that cardio and toughness at his age must feel pretty good for him.

I will admit that it was true boxing event atmosphere, lots of fans in the arena watching the fight live. And Nate find a way to survived the first round and I'm glad that the referee didn't stop it early as it will be a big disappointment for their fans.

But what can we say, Nate endurance is different, he is very durable. I didn't bet as well in this fight because it's hard to predict this kind of exhibitions. But it seems the Jake is really serious and tries to score a knockdown or a knockout win.

No way mate! Let's bet. Cheesy Many casuals already understood that their idol Jake Paul is not that special after losing his first fight against a real boxer. Although they have no idea that Tommy Fury is not even a top 20, very raw and clumsy so some might believe Paul's statement that he improved and that he is a real prospect to become a world champion. So maybe this can reach 500k PPV buys.

The undercard is not that exciting either, it's a mismatch. Amanda Serrano clearly beat Heather Hardy years ago so at 41 she will lose worse than their first match. My PPV buys prediction in this event is 300k and I'm already generous with it as this could be much lower.

I'm just trying to play the devil's advocate  Grin. But there are reports that they did get good numbers in this fight, but the reports is not yet official though, so we will have to wait.

And it was the same results, Amanda Serrano won for a lopsided victory, and she punishes Heather Hardy in 10 rounds.

Scores: 100-90, 100-90 and 99-91.

^^ Same here, I'll just see what will be the outcome, and I don't have any intention to bet on this fight either. Sure, the name of Nate Diaz still bring some hype because he was really a colorful individual when he was still with the UFC and had great matches.

But this is boxing, and Jake Paul has made a killing of this sports as he made a lot of money already winning fights and this will be the same case here. And I think the sports of boxing exhibitions are over, we are back the normal now. We do love to see some exhibitions, but we had some good boxing this year that we are done with this kind of fights as we are entertain with real boxers fighting each other.

It is obvious this fight is created to generate money for the boxer, and promoter,  and is not created for boxing development.  Though exhibition is a good thing once in a while but having too many in a short span of time makes me look at it as boring as hell.  Though I am thinking this exhibition fight is boring, I am looking forward to see the development of Shields vs Thurman mix gender boxing fight.  I wanted to see if these thing is a scripted one (someone is pulling a string behind the scene creating a fixed results that can boost one's popularity for future marketing exploits)

Maybe in the beginning and during the pandemic, it's good to see this kind of exhibitions. And really in the beginning, it was good, like Tyson vs Roy Jones. But then it was fully exploited by Floyd Mayweather and then the Paul brothers to generate millions for them and it is very effective admit it or not as they got now a company to promote their fight if I'm not mistaken.

However, now it becomes boring, and if Jake Paul wanted to be a boxer then maybe he can do it and make a pro fight. But for sure there will be less money for him and that's why he just stay in his comfort zone - exhibitions matches, easy peasy millions for them.

Yes right, if he really aiming to become a pro he always have that advantage over those who are trying to enter this industry, he already have a name and he can negotiate a fight with his chosen division, but same with what you said, the amount of money is far lesser unless he will hype his fight and encourage those followers and viewers to buy a ticket with his fight.

Or, if he can set his first fight against a champion or a good ranking fighter, maybe that will also bring some decent amount of profits.

Not sure if you are aware that the Joshua vs Whyte fight has been cancelled already due to Dillian Whyte tested positive for some ban substance through Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA).

In any case, match room's Eddie Hearn can find a replacement fighter here so that this fight is not totally postponed as others boxers in the undercard have prepared already. And for sure we will follow the case as Whyte is going to appeal and proved that he is innocence.

With Whyte's past history of failed drug tests, Eddie Hearn should have been smarter and had a backup opponent on standby. The last time Joshua fought a replacement opponent it ended in humiliation. Maybe they will not risk the massive payday against Wilder and just remain inactive until December/January.
