Personally I think all of the jake Paul fights are staged. Go back and watch, it looks to me like his opponents are really holding back. There is a world of difference between athletic guys and champions. Jake Paul doesn't belong in there with the top guys. Just my opinion though. One thing I do like is that some mma guys that didn't really get paid during their mma careers are getting some big paydays from a glorified workout with Paul. Can't complain about that. And if people like this stuff, and want to be entertained, I have nothing against that either. If I was to bet, I would bet on Paul to win, because I think that is the predetermined outcome, but, I can see Silva accidentally pooping him one and getting the ko, so I don't think I will actually bet on the event.
Well! he may start like a WWE-style fight in boxing where everything is on stage but the fans still want to see it. Just like the old days, we thought everything was real and there was no drama r whatsoever involved but as soon as the internet is accessible to us, we shockingly know the truth, and we are still the fans of The Rock, John Cena, and others. Maybe right now they wanted to promote it like it was just normal boxing but when they gathered so many numbers of fans they might eventually tell the truth to everyone.
