Really? i feel bad for her 10 years pre jake paul where she was makeing about about 20 bucks to fight. now shes making good money for easy fights and great money for tough ones.

Yeh. Why not.

She’s way more known now too being even associated with Jake Paul.

Good career move for her.

Draw paying as low as 11-1 some spots. i mean its an 8 rounder so draws are more likely, but iv never seen odds that tight for a draw .. mabey once when jenkins fought because he is a walking Technical draw (which wont exist this fight because its in the USA).

good for her to make great money in boxing while she can. i was meaning for actual talent in the ring Amanda has so much more than Jake and she could be the main event rather than a 5 and 0 guy who till now has fought other jokes

If Jake Paul wants that Mike Tyson fight then he best go to the UK to have this fight or some country that can fix visas quickly. If not then it does massive damage to his reputation.

Jake Paul should fight Marcelo wilder instead.

Mate, he's 5-3 against absolute novices, even Tommy Fury would blast him out.

Paul is looking for an opponent that Has boxed, has a winning record, Is bad, Has a sellable name, from a relevent country.
Marcelo wilder fits all those things, plus he isnt undersized, isnt too old, and is bad in an exciting way.

Noone could say "he has never fought a boxer, or he only fights old men, or he only fights small guys" ever again. they could say his opponents are not good, but that can be said about nearly every 5-0 fighter...

Throw in that you could build a little beef with a couple of pressers.

it is very hard to call, as i still think the paul fight v Woodley didnt feel right, tho i think paul looks the better boxer now

Marcelo is chinny, I guess Paul is almost guaranteed to KO him. Thing is, don't the casuals want unbeaten fighters? Marcelo has lost 3, his last two fights in a row and only won 5.
Can't see that attracting much attention, also Marcelo isn't blessed with the blather gene, so pressers will be dull.

Cassuals want unbeaten fighters for prospects/contenders/champs..., think they just want a boxer for Paul..

Tommy fury is the ideal paul opponent (assuming he cant get a mcgregor or floyd.) but if he cant get that now then its who is bad, with a boxing record, not too old and a name... I think thats the criteria now because paul is craving a hint of legitness..

-macelo wilder- name recognition, can create rivaly with wilder fans, paul will likely chin him, good option...
-john parker-weak name recognition, hard to spark a rivalry, paul might win a close decision? might lose, not worth it...
-chaves jr- amazing if you get him in the right shape (looks decent, but you still beat him). Risk him getting in shape and schooling you... probably good mabey bad.
-michael venom page- showy, mouthy, boxed befor, but booked for a bare knuckler.
-Daniel Bocians or Jordan Granti- Tommy furys best wins, decent records, you could try do it better.

hard to think of more.

Then theres always MMA opponents/exhibitions.. floyd, tyson, diazs, masvidal, connor all fit the bill. but i think he will want the legitness of a boxer first.

now Hasim Rahman Jr is the opponent. he has a record of 12 and 1

Shane Mosley's son wouldn't be that bad, imo.

shitshow farce should it happen.

paul & Rahman Jr. are buddies. they are also in different weight classes.

rahman is 6' 2" fighting at 220+.

jake is a tad more than 5' 10" (179 cm) fighting at 190 pounds.

in real tip top 12 round boxing condition his real weight class would be 160/168 but even at 154 he wouldn't be one of the huge guys. to consider him a cruiserweight is just ridiculous.

paul's 'billed height' of 6' 1" (his brother logan is 6 ' 1 1/2)on his boxrec stats is wrong and should be corrected.

just calling the bullshit.

it will be a farce no matterwho he fights and frankly it shouldnt be classed as pro boxing .
its just hyped up shyte for an internet generation .

So Tommy chickened out of his biggest ever payday.

What a tool. I hope he loses his 0 in his next fight against some bum and makes a few grand doing so.

Oh yeah, wouldn't that be hilarious!

huge step up for jake

Can't really see where people are getting this Tommy chickened out buisness , he was'nt allowed in the country was simple has that , i'm sure if they stuck it on a cruise liner somehere in the middle it would of happenned

Like that Paul is moving on, dont know anything about Rahman Jr but good for him.

Tommy should retire.. Last few years had a feeling he wasnt a real Fury/Fighter but saw something on twitter about would'nt get out of bed to fight Paul in the UK for 500k and it made me cringe. He should be concentrating on climbing up the UK LWH domestic ladder and offering to walk through the youtubers inbetween fights for peanuts! Shite attitude.

Getting sick of this now.

Jake Paul is honestly the luckiest dude ever. Got out of the Fury and Rahman fight without any damage to his image. Then he goes and massacres Silva . I'm becoming a fan.

Forget Fury, I hope he fights Mike Tyson or Roy Jones Jr. next. He can be the "legend killer" like Randy Orton.

how did he 'massacre' 60 year old silva? one of us must've seen a different fight...

who next for killer jake?
is sandy saddler still alive?
