News Jake Paul retires from boxing (or is calling out a retired boxer)

TheBigJuicyGuy said:
Is he self made though? He started a Vine and got picked-up by Disney. His career starts around 2013... meanwhile his brother is famous and started YouTubing in 2007. So is he really "self made"?

<{nope}>

Yes, he and his brother both started their own social media pages and gained popularity through them. Everything else they got came from the work they did themselves alone as kids.

Not to mention, not every kid who gets in Disney has continued success. In fact almost none are as successful as the Paul brothers. Gotta give them the utmost credit for their trajectory, it’s all them

He saw his future when he was gassed out and helpless in the 8th round against a 1 dimensional boxer. Any halfway decent boxer would have stretched his gassed corpse in the later rounds.

In all honesty, it’s pretty impressive he fought 8 rounds. He’s got less experience than Tommy fury who stumbled his way through 4.

And speaking of halfway decent boxers, does Tommy fury qualify? Cuz I feel very confident jake would beat him.

Can someone move this bitch shit to the WWE Twitter whore or whatever social media addict forum you have? I know no one is interested in legitimate fights any more but isn’t this at least supposed to be a forum for discussing UFC things?

Mods do what they want on Sherdog. I mean they post PFL and Bellator threads in the "UFC" exclusive section all the time. Is it to much to ask to have a little order around here?

You need to get better at fact checking. I could do the digging on this to prove you wrong but I don't have the interest or motivation to do so, but as with every millennial I will let you think you are correct.

Question: Would you also agree that Donald Trump was self-made? And to that token, are we not all self-made?

They’re all copying pro wrestling

The veracity of this statement is the saddest part of it all… with how much mma fans look down on pro wrestling, all of combat sports’ biggest stars are basically copying from it..
 
I mean he'll be back in a bit. But this last fight didn't seem to generate anywhere near as much buzz as the Askren fight and it was also close (Jake won first 2 rounds, they split the last 6).

So if he calls out a bigger challenge, he's undoubtedly going to lose. He either wants a huge pay day or to wait for interest to grow again. Or for himself to get better.
 
Honestly, it’s a pretty smart move.

I get that the guy is an unlikable douche, but he's made multi-millions in several different fields of endeavor. He's no dummy, and he's got all kinds of hustle.

I suspect he's simply creating drama, as he seems to have created enough demand at least one more big fight. But I do think he got exposed a little by Woodley. He's been cherry-picking old, washed up MMA wrestlers, and he almost got put on his ass for it. Now it's pretty clear just how mediocre his boxing is.

Yes, and I believe Woodley is 40!!!!!
 
He has embarrassed mma enough and has grabbed too much attention

Khabib and conor haven't been mentioned in days

It will be sad when he retires, as he runs combat sports

It seems Tommy did not inherit the boxing gene from his father. He should stick to reality shows.

This fight sold way more PPV than the askren fight. What the fuck are you even talking about?

As children, they took to social media and created an absolutely massive following by themselves. You really don’t believe that qualifies as self made? They started it themselves and every single thing they’ve received is a direct result of that work they did.



How any can try to discredit them or what they’ve started, followed up and built upon (again, by themselves) is beyond me. I don’t have the kind of jealousy or envy required to try and mangle the objective facts of this story and discredit what they’ve built.

If you disagree with anything I’ve said in this post, please, offer a rebuttal to it directly. Otherwise, keep your unfounded opinions to yourself.
