The Jake Paul Megathread v2

[John12]

Maybe, I definitely am not plugged into that world.
Is there loyalty and follow thru there though?

I also feel like the Jake Paul vs famous old guy scam is getting old and people are losing interest.

He is got a following but he has been banned from social media so that's gonna hurt his reach. It would be smart to make the fight now and strike while the iron is hot

Just because a guy didn't fight in the top organisation it doesn't make him below average. Do you think any average kickboxer wins multiple ISKA titles, multiple wins in Enfusion etc...

We've already discussed Tate in the MT/KB section... below average. Don't agree? Go post there and you'll get the same response. Tate has never beaten anyone of worth apart from Bates, who has only recently started doing well, and Tate beat him like 10 years ago. All of Tate's wins are over absolute nobodies and if you don't understand that i don't know what to tell you apart from maybe go watch KB and you'll see just how "meh" Tate was.

 

[Nova44]

Sounds like an awesome fight.

Yeah, i'm gonna mark my calendar for sure...

 

[surgeyou1]

Tates supposed to be 6'3?

Someone's capping.

 

[what-wut]

It doesn't matter what the purists think, this is a big fight. Jake is the logical favourite but you can't completely discount Tate here.

Plenty of these "full contact" guys come out of nowhere and do well though because their style has no exposure. Tate didn't spend long in low kick style and did fairly well considering. He took some rounds off the Showtime champion after only a few fights. Also keep in mind those karate boxing guys usually transition to boxing well. Troy Dorsey, Caleb Plant, etc.

 

[Kassitus]

Jake will still be the favorite but at least Tate has a slightly better chance than Diaz. Also I'm pretty sure they were trying to set this up like a year ago and it fell apart because Tate wanted a warm up fight. I'm guessing they are offering more money now?

paul by decapitation

 

[Jonny Ninja]

Who are these people ?

well this will be the first time I hope jake wins (I certainly won’t be watching though). Andrew tate is a vile cunt. And if this is pure boxing and not kickboxing I’d fully expect Jake to win.

 

[Jonny Ninja]

Will it?

His Anderson Silva fight flopped badly and he lost money per an interview or podcast after the fight when the numbers where in.

Andrew Tate is kind of a flash in the pan social media shit stirrer, I really doubt he has a diehard viewer base in the hundreds of thousands that will pay decent money for a celebrity boxing bout.

Unfortunately he has a huge following

Unfortunately he has a huge following

guys who post memes like this on instagram:

love andrew tate

 

[magpie878]

Said it before, will say it again. Paul's been a cash cow to my account.

And it will continue if this happens.

 

[themasterbaker]

He's 35 but gone are the days that he was training 2 times a day, every day. It seems like he just practices with his brother and cousin now, and occasionally goes to fight gyms.

I don't think he had any boxing fights. Maybe 1 or 2. He's had a few kickboxing fights over the last few years. Not many though. He's main career was over probably 8 or so years ago now. I'm just worried his style won't translate well over to boxing against a young, strong guy who has been training boxing consistently for 3-4 years with high level guys. Everyone hates to admit it, but Jake can box a bit. Obviously he's not world class or anything but he's not as bad as everyone wants him to be. And his fights definitely aren't fixed or fake. You seriously have to be stupid, blind or know nothing about combat sports to think thay. Nobody would be saying that if he wasn't a Youtuber/Disney geek

I watched a couple of his fights on Youtube. Not very good. Chin up in the air with hands down as well. He'll get Woodley'd out if he fights Paul.

 

[TheAlliance]

This is gonna be nuts.. both guys have so much to lose holy.:

 

[SuperLuigi]

Why dont you like him? He just seems like a guy who knows how to say everything in a brash way to get views on social media.

 

[Kovalev's "Man Bag"]

Tate is one of the most hated men in the world and for good reason I might add. He's already been deplatformed on all popular social media services. A lot of people will be rooting for Jake in this one. This fight does nothing for me though. While Tate was a legit fighter, a former kickboxer & MMA fighter, he's not a pure boxer. That said, it'll sell.

 

[Zarathustra611]

I don't know much about AT...

But I will say EVERY 16-20 year old kid I know ... DOES know who AT his and they seem to think he's a great troll/ complete asshat/ tells it like it is/ is an asshole sex trafficker etc etc. E.g whatever your own opinion of him they actually seem to CARE what he says.

This is an awful celebrity youtube phenomenon without much to do with quality fighting but on the basis of the above it will probably sell the house down and make tons of $$$$.

 

[chimpoehurricane]

Anderson didn't talk trash but Tate would promote the fight for sure, I think you are underestimating Tate's fan base and reach, it's huge and he is probably the biggest social media celeb at the moment

Bar none...!

The problem similar to McGregor was being a former champion gone influencer is a disrespectful act toward boxing.

I am not a fan of Jake but he's all in on boxing. Tates more talented but older and living a influencer lifestyle.

Tate would win focused but he's pushing 40 and living the influencer lifestyle. McGregor did thst coming off a yacht in designer pajamas. He got knocked out.

Tate can make more money doing other things. If he is focused and there's testing, I think Tate wins but again, training vs fighting are different.

 

[StocktonMuhfuh]

Weird thing is Jake Paul has a list of people that could conceivably want to fight HIM, he doesn't have to beg any of these guys:

• Andrew Tate
• Nate Diaz
• KSI
• Tommy Fury
• Hasim Rahman Jr.
• McKenzie Morrison
• Uriah Hall

Hell, probably even Canelo would take the fight at this point.

He has a Wikipedia page containing everything there is to know about him. Tate has pissed off so many people that they kept defacing his page. Now it's been locked down with extended confirmed protection. He's universally hated.
