Jake Paul is very confused. He started with a novelty fight against you tubers then advanced to basketball players and retired MMA fighters. Now he appears to have become disillusioned and is trying to package himself as a bona- fida contender. I say 'appears to have become' as in his heart of hearts he knows that he will make zero impact on the 200 pound scene and is picking opponents to allow him to continue this deception. Tommy Fury was a name, a reality TV star but not an established fighter, with a proposed bout that fell apart so in order to preserve the card he selected another name Rahman, another fighter with less than distinguished credentials who had no chance of making the weight. Personally I wish he would just disappear or people would stop buying his fights but f he must continue, be upfront and decide if you wish to remain a circus act or face a real player at 200 pounds. He will do neither but continue to milk the gravy train until it runs dry.

I guess in some parts of the boxing world it did what it was supposed to do with these two guys that is keep there names out there. Everybody got some attention on the boards and on the boxing forums n pods. Manufactured fighters, not prospects, not the type of guys who fought in local gyms, went there to get off the streets to find they had some talent and took it seroiusly and made n earned there way in the fight game not bought there way into it. I do not even get angry anymore but I do not stop and see what the truth is. It is all a money grab. And dont compare a money grab to a prize fight there is a big differnece.......
