Jake Paul has announced his next opponent is Anderson Silva. I think Jake might have but off a little more than he can chew this time. Sure, Silva is damn near 50 years old, but he’s got power that Jake hasn’t seen before. I like this fight. I’d rather have seen him fight Andrew Tate, but this was unexpected and a nice surprise.

Not surprised to see that the Paul brothers still have this type of fight. Well, just another buck making match for them and as well as for Anderson.
The match is said to happen by October, no odds yet for this match on stake but most likely we'll see when we go near to the match date.

Right, that's what they basically do right now in boxing/MMA, exhibition fights with former champions and then see how much money they can make it. Not sure how much guarantee money is for Silva, but I will speculate that it could be in the millions and then Jake Paul taking the lionshare of it. For sure there are still fans that is willing to go to live gate and watch it or buy PPV. So in any case, it's a win win. However, for pure boxing fans, not sure if they will bet on it or want to watch this kind of exhibition matches.

It's a money making business so everyone shouldn't be shock by the Paul brothers. They shock the internet and now they are conquering exhibitions matches will huge revenues in the millions. so they will continue to do it as long as fans are willing to buy.

But as you have said, pure boxing fans doesn't like the idea of this kind of matches. Might be good in the pandemic, when Tyson and Roy Jones Jr fought for pure entertainment and so called money being raised for charity. But after that, it's all business, Floyd and the Paul brothers.
