Jake Paul has a few names on his list that he would like to face in the future in a boxing contest – Floyd Mayweather and Anderson Silva are the notable ones
Jake Paul shook the world when he knocked out Tyron Woodley at their rematch, and the ‘Problem Child’ hasn’t fought since then. But he sure knows the fight game inside out by now, and has some imprudent plans for 2022.
The Youtuber turned boxer made an appearance on The Fight podcast with Teddy Atlas and Ken Rideout. He was asked about his business plan, his journey in boxing so far, and the potential names of opponents for the future.
Paul replied by saying, “Yeah, we are still locking down opponents, you know. There’s a lot of names…You know Floyd Mayweather…De La Hoya, Anderson Silva… Tyson Fury, Sunny Williams out of Australia. So there is a lot of people in the hit list and um, the other names that we’re talking to, you know… Just trying to pick the biggest opponent right. Everyone I have fought, and I am not trying to be like arrogant but everyone I have fought, I have carried the promotion… No one has matched my star. No one has matched my power. So looking for that opponent that can match my star power. “
It’s interesting how the younger Paul brother has the sighted two of the greatest in their respective discipline as his next opponent.
Jake Paul reveals how much Nate Diaz should be making for fighting in the UFC
Nate Diaz’s public request to be released by the UFC shocked MMA fans after UFC president Dana White had confirmed that the company might be working on a reformed deal. However, it looks like all negotiations have gone south, and Diaz is determinant on exiting from the company.
One of the biggest stars in the game today, Diaz has developed a cult following through his ‘ever-real’ personality and stout-hearted fighting style. Jake Paul had joined a list of fighters who took to Twitter to react to Diaz’s public plea, and urged the UFC to ‘Free Diaz’.
The movement has been set forth by Paul with all intents and purposes to set-up a boxing fight against Diaz. The ‘Problem Child’ has been calling for a fight against the Stockton slugger for the longest time, and this looks like the perfect opportunity for him.
Speaking about Diaz’s contract and what he should be making, Paul put out a tweet saying, ‘
Monday💰 Lesson:
Nate Diaz should be guaranteed $20M per fight or 20% of the revenue of the event for fighting any of Dustin, Conor or Jorge. That’s 20% of all revenues (not just PPV).
Pretty simple math. If you dispute this then you don’t know shit about the fight business.’
