News Jake Paul vs Ben Askren Confirmed

[ippikiookami]

This should be interesting. If Jake wins, maybe he fights Robbie Lawlor or Masvidal next...

Ben Askren agrees to box YouTuber Jake Paul for more money than he’s ever been paid before (yahoo.com)

CM Punk gotta better chance then Funky..

It’d be great if Askren just completely disregards the rules, takes him down and beats the shit out of him. I mean no one would look down on him for that, plenty of people would love it, and there are no consequences.

Im sure prison is a consequence

 

[TJ Dillashank]

So he's boxing Ben Askren. Would have had less of a chance to win if he boxed a featherweight.

Wait until you see the mega thread that yours gets moved to, TS.

Lol at all the retards that pick Askren

 

[Eric Silva 2.0]

Ben about to get embarrassed and meme’d to death again, man really has no shame.

At least he’ll secure a nice pay day.

I picked Paul but I think there should be choices for picking who wins and agreeing it's a sideshow circus.

If Ben loses (especially in dramatic fashion), it could be the worst end of a "fighting" career ever.

That didn't take him long at all <45>

Who are the people that are buying tickets and paying for PPV? Askren's new career path. If he wins, maybe he fights the brother. If he loses he has a choice of Nate Robinson or calling out Patricio Manuel.

I'm not even convinced Askren gets this.... I think his ego is too big to actually even train any boxing or even cardio for that matter

It not ego. Some people aren't coordinated enough to catch on. Its weird shit but I've seen it. Jake shields is another one. Not everyone in the UFC is a natural athlete.

 

[Mr. Shickadance]

So his hip works now? I don’t know what’s more sad that people will but this, or that asken has to get this fight because the ufc didn’t pay him enough

 

[orgazmo]

Nick Newell is a better boxer than Ben Askren

 

[TidWell]

Is it true that Ben Askren is going to get paid $5.5 million but no ppv points? no wonder he is taking the fight who wouldn't?

 

[Ice Hotel]

Is anyone else sad that combat sports is turning into a freakshow/circus that isn't taken serious? It's depressing to see

 

[Qays Stetkevich]

This guy has cherry picking down to an art form.

Fook him.

You better not lose Ben.

My sentiment exactly. What a stupid fight, but AT LEAST let the horrible MMA striker beat the hip internet star.

 

[smiles mma]

new hip askren takes his head off

As expected, lol. It's crazy that this is the hottest thread on Sherdog.
