Jake Paul has been a pro for 2.5 years already. He is not just a beginner anymore. It is time to step up his level of competition beyond no-hoper washed up athletes if he wants to be treated as anything besides a freak show attraction. It's not a great sign for the state of boxing when this kind of garbage is getting so much hype and media attention.
Two boxers backed out of the fight at the last moment against Jake Paul and he lost millions when Tommy Fury pulled out of the fight the second time and then Hasim Rahman Jr failed to fight citing weight issues and hence he wants to make up for that lost money and hence looking to fight another MMA veteran because he can bank on those fighters as they will show up to fight.
I appreciate the way Jake Paul is able to attract people to watch his fights and it is a great sign and he showed he can be the promoter rather than relying on others.
