Jake Paul vs Tyron Woodley II MEGATHREAD *Locked

[Yep]

Yeah being a Rich Disney Star allowed him to throw millions of dollars into training boxing full time with the best training money can buy.

Against guys who also get top training. As if that matters. Getting top dollar training doesn’t equate success. See the people he’s boxed against as well as ufc star CM Punk.

 

[Yep]

Thats a misguided assessment of the situation, devoid of any context whatsoever

Riiiiiiiiiight. Just keep downplaying how embarrassing it is that a goofball ko’d the former champion.

 

[ironfist05]

I have a hard time deciding this. Good in that he's bringing in new viewers, but also he's taking a lot of the esteem and credibility of the sport away by making it a bit of a circus. I think he'd have a better influence if his cards could be used to build up up-and-comers on the undercards.

 

[pakimahi]

Oh he is good.. he is damn good!

 

[Mr2urbo]

One of the greatest things to happen to boxing, the sport rests on his shoulders.

Rich is relative. To me, a million is a lot of money. That’s rich to me. Having a good financial foothold to push you forward.

If someone paid me $1M to fight anyone on the planet, I’d take it. If I thought I wouldn’t die. Hell, I might risk it. For $1M? I’ll be in the ring with Ngannou tomorrow.

Woodley took a short notice fight against a guy who was training for a step up in competition. Why would he do that?

Knowing you can lose in the public eye is tough. But getting paid well? He put his ego aside and made the smart money move.

I’m proud of him. He’s smarter than people think.

 

[Percwalker]

Hes an embarrassment /thread

 

[flowoftruth]

it was hard to watch as an mma fan but fair play to him

 

[rear naked ankle pick]

he is not very smart

 

[Tweak896]

His career was done, he took a KO and a big bag of money. I still think he was one of the only good real champs during the McGregor era.

 

[SeattleFightFan]

I wish him the best.

But most of us knew decades ago tha decent boxers are better at boxing than great mma players. Now he ain’t great anymore and Jake ain’t decent….but it still goes to show.

Just like great boxers won’t make great kickboxers (though I think it was Botha who tried to prove me wrong way back when).

TS and I both hope Woodley isn’t broke in 4 years.

 

[JSN]

More like humbled.

 

[Yerrowblickroad]

tyron is mini rashad

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

He's notoriously bad with his money. Good on him for earning a nice payday, but odds are he'll be broke soon enough

Morning Report: Tyron Woodley admits he ‘blew through a lot of f*cking money’ when he was champion

 

[mjoln]

guys who would something very stupid for 1 million would lose it fast most of the time
making money is like doing diet, if you go too fast your body and mind cant keep up

people who have food, home and activities should respect that
we know lots of rich people who are miserable af
if you dont have purpose behind your success, you got nothing

 

[KOPPE]

T wood is the type to blow millions in weeks. I wouldnt say hes rich

 

[Philly253]

Yes he's handled this all exceptionally well, I'll always be a fan of T Wood..

If he hadn't blown his first fortune he wouldn't be in this fuckin predicament in the first place.

Not smart, and not humble

 

[Simple Southerner]

Yea but

 

[JSN]

Still waiting on him to fight someone with actual hands. But if he's a smart businessman (which he is), he'll stay the course and cherry-pick his fights.

Makes one wonder why he had agreed to fight Tommy Fury. Don’t get me wrong Tommy is a winnable fight, but I wouldn’t give Jake Paul a great chance to beat him.
