<\/h1>\n\n\n\nThe Real Reason He Won\u2019t Fight a Boxer<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/h1>\n\n\n\nPhoto by Cliff Hawkins\/Getty Images<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Jake Paul is set to box yet another aging MMA Super Star in Anderson \u201cSpider\u201d Silva, and some of the MMA community is asking \u201cWhy won’t Jake Paul fight a boxer at his level?\u201d I get why they are asking the question, but they know why, money. You see Jake Pauls is all about making the most money possible, and celebrity fighting seems to be the new craze among casual fans of Boxing. The casual fans are in it for the exciting knockouts, and that is something that Jake Paul delivers on. We cannot forget that boxing is a business and people like Jake Paul are in it to make money, I mean has he ever offered to fight anyone for free? No, and I honestly don\u2019t expect him to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You see, for him to get the biggest paydays, he has to leverage his fame, and find a dance partner that has as much as or more cache than him. This is what drives the fans to hand over their hard-earned money on the PPV. You have to look no further than the fight with Hasim Rahman, Jr. There was no real \u201cbuzz\u201d or hype behind that fight, and it wound up being canceled. Yes, I know the \u201cofficial\u201d reason was that Rahman did not make weight, but honestly, that fight was D.O.A. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Now let\u2019s talk about reason number 2, his ego, you see if Jake loses to Silva, that won\u2019t be a \u201cdeath\u201d blow to his ego, but if he loses to Rahman, career over. Jake needs to be the center of attention, it not only feeds that fragile ego, but it helps build his brand. The brand he is meticulously using to bridge from boxer to promoter, the brand that allows him to sign fighters. For all the talk about fighter pay, Jake never had to be a journeyman fighting on the undercard for scraps, he really doesn\u2019t know the struggle, but he talks a good game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You tell me how you feel, I am sure some will feel the same and others will disagree. That is the beauty of this country, freedom of speech and thought, till my next article be blessed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Real Reason He Won\u2019t Fight a Boxer Photo by Cliff Hawkins\/Getty Images This is why I feel Jake Paul may never fight a boxer Jake Paul is set to<\/p>\nThis is why I feel Jake Paul may never fight a boxer<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n
