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.

Of course, what do you expect from this kind of fights? this is all for fun and money grab for them, specially for high level former fighters. But the hype they are putting prior to the fight though that makes other believed that they really wanted to take each other heads off. But when the bell rings, they are holding it back and not giving their 100% on the fight. And when the winner was announced, it could be a draw and everyone was so frustrated with the decision specially if you have a bet on it. So it's better to stay away from actually betting on this kind of exhibition fights.

Yet people did not learn from these mistakes, they still bet hoping that this time will be different and there will be a winner that will be announced. It's really hard to see winners and losers from a fight that is participated by two famous fighters, even Jake Paul admitted that he's a fan and respects Anderson Silva ever since Jake's was still a kid. So that's already a sign that these two are only fighting for the money and the fight will result into a draw, I could be wrong, but the chances are not worth the risk.
