Jake Paul boxing contract stipulations allegedly preventing opponents from ko'ing him?

[Gandulf]

The first time I heard about this was Claressa Shields talking about Jake having a contract stipulation that if they knock him out they don't get paid or get paid the same amount.

Then it was said about the Tyson bout that if Tyson stops him in an early round he doesn't get the same amount paid as if the fight goes to the distance.

Is this legal in boxing? Isn't this kind of setting up/fixing the fight? shouldn't such fights be classified as exhibitions?

If true then it would make Jake look like a massive joke, but because he has so much money and people are so broke, they're willing to do it for the money.

And boxers are crap MMA fighters lol, MMA is closer to reality however and most athletes of either sport recognize this and don't talk shit too much regarding the other sport. Jake on the other hand continuously acts like he is embarrassing MMA fighters as fighters while beating them in a sport that isn't theirs....meanwhile he doesn't have the testicles to take an MMA fight against any decent MMA fighter. His best wins are against a 47 year old Silva, who hasnt been a force in close to a decade prior to their fight and most recently Perry who at least took the fight to him even though he was undersized and out skilled in boxing.

It is amazing that people pay to watch this fucking clown, but to each is own.....If Paul had any courage he would challenge Poatan to a kickboxing only match...but that would take away his advantage...and he wouldn't do well so therefore couldn't talk shit about how he is embarrassing the sport of MMA...in a fucking boxing match,.

 

[Captain Tenneal]

Is there actual proof of this claim?

It just seems like they are trying to bring the white man down

 

[PrideNverDies]

That's what they used to say about Floyd and why he was always so boring and never finished anyone

Are boxers also crap boxers?

If the standard is that any type of MMA fighter losing to Jake Paul makes all MMA fighters crap at boxing, then it follows that any type of boxer losing to Jake Paul makes all types of boxers crap at boxing.

A half decent boxer would beat Jake Paul.

He did call out Nate Diaz for an mma match. He said they sent the offer and Nate didn't accept it.

He called out a 170lb career MMA fighter who hasn't been in the top ten in close to a decade. He talks about dethroning Alex from the top....but calls him out to a boxing match lol, where he has the advantage, to me it's fine that he calls these guys out...but don't act like you are the tougher, better or more skilled overall fighter for beating them in a sport they are not active in.

Ok. So professional boxers losing to Jake Paul means nothing because they were not 'half-decent boxers'?

But why do wrestlers or 50-year-old men losing to Jake Paul make 'MMA fighters' crap at boxing?

Basically, I'm curious as to whether you even understand the basic concept of MMA.

James Warring. Ray Mercer. James Toney. Dillian Whyte. Alexandr Ustinov. Matt Skelton. Lucas Browne (ok, this one probably is crap). Ricardo Mayorga. I could list dozens of other guys with MMA records and decent boxing records....

Why does Jake Paul beating welterweight wrestling or BJJ specialists make 'MMA fighters' 'crap boxers'? What about the MMA fighters that objectively aren't crap boxers? It doesn't make much sense, does it?

He's got some skills but he definitely chooses opponents carefully, guys he has a clear physical advantage over and guys who don't have much experience boxing. The one guy he fought that didn't fit that mold beat him.

I have a feeling if this was true it would be much more well known. The kind of people Jake fights would never keep their mouth shut.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

I don't even like the guy, but this is a ridiculous theory imo.

 

[Frode Falch]

Thats just stupid. If that was true, it would have gotten out by now.

MMA is nothing like a real fight.
Maiquel Falcao learned that the hard way. So did Dillon Danis, BJ Penn, Don Frye, Jason Knight, etc...

Its funny to point that out to MMA fans. All of these MMA guys losing real fights, on video, and zero of pro boxers losing real fights.
Why is that?

 

[FlowchartRog]

You'd have to have the IQ of a turnip to really believe this. It would have got out by now, 100%.

It would also be illegal, these aren't exhibitions, they are sanctioned pro fights.

He’s great at choosing opponents that’s for sure, Askren was a perfect one for example

Ok captain idiot, Falcao was drunk and attacked by a group, if I recall was also hit with an object. Dillon Danis has two fights and hasnt fought in years, BJ Penn was drunk and not fighting back lol, Don Frye is ancient etc....come on man. MMA is closer to a real fight than boxing is by far.

The point he's trying to make is one we keep making every time some idiot from the ufc section comes over here screaming "well mma is basically a real fight so blah blah blah", mma isn't a real fight, and neither is boxing, they're both just sports with rules and refs to protect the athletes from getting hurt.

Not sure why mma fans always try to pretend that mma is more or less a street fight when it's really not. Also, this thing mma fans have with "boxers are scared to come to mma, that's why all the fights are boxing matches"... they're not scared of mma lol they are staying in their own sport that they've practised since they were children and making lots of money doing so, while mma guys see an opportunity to make more money than they ever have before and they jump to boxing.

Mma fans need to get to grips with the fact that mma guys come to boxing because an amount of money too great to pass up awaits them. It has nothing to do with how fearless they are, it's solely about money and how 36 minutes will change their lives.
