Maris Breidis has jake paul tattoo to try and entice Paul into a fight

[cormack]

Probably a fake tatt

I have never had the impression that Breidis was very bright .

I just zoomed in on the tattoo...... if it is a fake, its a super job. As he's shaved the hair round the tattoo, and it's reddish around the tatt as it would be with a new design.

My only other thought is that the design is not really about Jake Paul, it is another reference and he's just trolling by pretending it was done for a Paul fight.

Either way it's a bit lame really

It’s a shame that the second most talented big guy in boxing has to resort to this to try get a decent payday.

The guy gave Usyk his hardest fight and the scorecards were super close.

Goes to show what a fornicating shambles boxing is right now.

He is locked out of the heavyweight divisions big fights due to rematch clauses and inactivity of the champions, so he has chosen to stay at cruiserweight.

He should fight Okolie win the WBO then move to Heavy where he would be the number 1 contender according to their rules! (If I remember correctly that’s how Usyk got his shot )

Breidis has boxed at heavy before, flattening the WBA legend Mahmoud Charr

yoi yoi yoi yoi, poppah!

[knockout]

James , yes what a knockout that was !

What I meant in my post was that there is no point Breidis going to heavyweight right now as the chance of fighting for a title in the next two years unless your name Joshua, Whyte, Joyce or Hrgovic is pretty slim :)

[Grilling Machine]

yoi yoi yoi yoi, poppah!

Prrrosta! Da, da, da.

Simple! Yes, yes, yes.

Yeah unfortunately that's the problem with modern boxing and especially the heavies. They only fight once a year. The division is backed up. As you say the division is a shambles and clogged up. Still the tattoo thing is horrible

Isn’t this the number 1 cruiser getting a tattoo of a YouTuber?
Makes sense in 2022 tbh.

I saw some link for 'a boxer getting a tattoo of jake paul' I didn't bother clicking as I assumed it would be a wrestler or basketball player I'd never heard of.

This saddens me. I hope it's a fake because obviously he's not going to box the best active fighter in his weight class when he hasn't even faced an actual boxer yet.

I think it might have been the Steve Kim and Mario Lopez podcast where they showed that if you only looked at the metrics is Ppv and ticket sales that Jake Paul was currently the most successful US boxer.
Ive never watched one of his events or anything else he's done on YouTube but he must be doing something right - don't hate the player, hate the game. He's a symptom of the failure of the boxing business.

That's capitalism mate, not boxing. It's not genius business either, it's simple, people like to see fist fights and the casual mainstream will pay to see famous people doing it, If you want to see what capitalism at its worst can do to boxers then just go look at how some of the promotors made out compared to the fighters .

Most celebrities who box have the decency to do it for charity and not pretend to be a fighter

[Ruthless-RKO]

He's joining the circus, but this is brilliant.

[emallini]

If I ever see Breidis on road he is getting mugged.

[JamesPhilips]

I think it's not a bad tune....... If it was done by a fellow youtuber or boxer / mma guy at Paul's level. But it's just a bit cringe and desperate from a really experienced and decent world champion.

[mickey1975]

The thing is, he's not a joke. Gave Usyk a much tougher time than AJ and can really fight.

[margaret thatcher]

has jake responded to any of his stuff? breidis seems dedicated enough to it that it makes me wonder if they have something going on. maybe jake really does have some fantasy about fighting for a world title and is willing to sacrifice his 0 at some point for it. im sure he has the influence $$$$$ to somehow get ranked

Unless it's fixed, he would be seriously hurt.

[margaret thatcher]

true, but maybe he's so delusional he actually thinks he could win?

or maybe he has a real ambition to fight for a world title


at least, i hope theyve been in on this together, cuz it makes mairis look rather silly

[DrDuke]

The song was way more badass attempt to get a fight than the tattoo.

[Cent0089]

Of course this is patethic circus, but if we want get rid of Paul nonsense in sport, is there a better way than him getting savage beating from prime, cruiserweight champ ?

[CaptainSpacerod]

Catchy little tune that.

I’m sure Breidis doesn’t care that a few people on boxing forums think him chasing Paul is embarrassing for him and boxing. If these kind of shenanigans boost his chances of getting a career high payday then it’s certainly worth doing.

They’re prizefighters, they aren’t fighting for glory or adulation or respect, they fight for money

[Dioufy]

Wasn’t Breidas a high ranking police officer before and during his boxing career?
He’s a mug. He’s chasing something that will probably never happen. He’d be better off offering oral sex on the streets of Riga if he wants cash.
He’s that popular that 98% of the country would go for it.

[Pukka Cheese]

Paul is not going to fight Bredis.

A world champ chasing a noivce is fornicating embarrassing.

As a boxing fan it’s truly depressing
