The second I saw the ridiculous difference in glove size, I knew exactly why to thank my VPN.

Yeah, to any who is ignorant enough to pay for a Jake Paul PPV; he deserves your money.

Eventually he will get wrecked by a real fighter. Not that Silva isn’t. It’s like he fought with one hand behind his back. Or in this case, both legs and a grappling/submission game behind his back lol.
It will work itself out.

Not if he keeps paying fights a ton of money to lose.

It should have “worked itself out” during his first fight but here we are talking about an irrelevant piece of excrement.

The outcome was planned. This is just a payday event designed to publicize the launch of the United Fighters Association.

Can these fights just join WWE now?

Jake spent over half that fight trying to get out of being pressed against the ring, didn’t look especially sharp with anything he was giving, and was clenching at every given moment that Silva had the upper hand
Fun fight but Jake doesn’t deserve a win for that

You knew it is a boxing match designed for Jake Paul to win anyway. But Silva fighting well, entertaining the audiences, lasting the whole match without being KO'ed and getting paid big is a big win for him.

It’s pantomime for people who don’t know the sport.

MMA fighters just can't fight is the real answer. No hands and glass jaws.

Silva won in my books lmao. I’m not even hating bro. Paul is a decent fighter, Silva won overall

At best, Paul won the first and last round. 6-2 Silva.

Jake will always be a heel type figure, but it sells tickets like a motherfucker and lines the pockets of old retired fighters. Swallowing pride probably isn’t too hard for 35% of ppv sales on top of $500k for Silva and subsequent fighters

It was a boxing match and Silva was known for MMA not boxing. Silva is 47 years old to Paul's 25.
Idk if Paul is so good why not just have him fight active boxers in their 20s-30s? Why the whole charade with old MMA fighters?

Money my dude. People pay to see it.

Likely he wouldn't be able to get anyone to sanction a fight against a real boxer with real rules.

Because MMA fans keep giving him money

He’s the great pale hope. Let the random street fights begin. “I’m Jake…..wait”

Jake Paul showing MMA to be the trash sport that most of us already knew it was.
MMA fighters can't box and they can't beat a Youtuber either.

Go iron your Tapout shirt, bro. Your MMA fighters keep getting killed by a Youtuber. Take the L and lay off the "RIGGED!" talk.

Jake definitely secured the win after the knockdown. Fair play.

Anybody who actually watched the fight knows this is the truth.

This is basically WWE at this point. The scoring is comically fake.
Silva is taking a big payday into his retirement cushion. Paul will continue to sell PPVs.
