Boxing is what Shakur and Haney do. Can't wait for Shakur vs Haney.

They steady whooping other ass so they aren’t fighting each other.

Many imbecile fans would rather watch a Jake Paul carnival than a Shakur masterpiece.

This only stops when folks stop watching it. I understand why folks cannot not watch Tyson, but I struggle to see the appeal of this by anyone's standards. Obviously wanting to watch someone slap that dumb tongue out face to bits has its allure, but he is not going to fight anyone with the skill to do that.
Let his hate machine roll.

Those types of bouts are only good for Arum when he is involved in them. Arum has been a cancer in boxing for a long time.

American imbecile fans.

American imbecile fans.

Right, because only American fans watched when he fought Tommy Fury in Saudi Arabia lol.

I'll never understand why Jake Paul gets the hate he gets. Well maybe I do, because I used to hate him too. But he works really hard and probably trains just as hard as most any other pros out there. And it's safe to say how jealous most haters are, because he's carved out a niche for himself and he's making a fortune doing it while you all scrub toilets at your 9-5. No one is forcing anyone to watch or pay for his fights, yet people are. And every person out there who "hates" him would sell their mother to be doing the same thing. He's not deceiving anyone. What he's doing is all out in the open. No he didn't start fighting when he was 5 but could most anyone honestly have done more in the time he HAS been training? And any pro like Canelo WILL fight him when the time and the MONEY is right, regardless of all their BS about "legacy." It's no different than Beyonce or Taylor Swift. I could find better singers at my local church choir. They're no more talented singers than Jake Paul is a boxer. There is a little more to it though than just "talent" and like them Jake Paul has obviously mastered that.

One of the reasons that it has "appeal" is that Boxing has become almost all hype anymore, there is not a lot of real solid fights and match ups available those that are need very little hype only for those who do not know or follow Boxing. Add to that the fact that Boxing cares not about actual fight fans but just the dollar they can pull from the pockets of anyone and if BS and long articles about it Make people pull a buck out of there pockets Boxing will go for that as opposed to anything that looks like the real deal. Boxing answer's to Boxing only not even a small commision anymore.................OH and the dollar.......

Boilerplate "anyone who doesn't respect the hustle is a hater" answer.

You're an American materialist who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing. You will interpret that as an insult but it's not intended to be, there's just such a heavy emphasis on it in your culture that it's hard to escape from.

Just try to understand some people prioritise different things to you. Authenticity being one.
