Jake Paul is the real deal for the BUSINESS of boxing no matter what the elitist say. His whole "career" imo was a marketing ploy for the business framework he is setting up.

He's only the real deal cause current boxers, promoters, and fans dropped the ball
how can fans drop the ball?
Fans choose to spend their money based on what promoters and boxers put forward. Boxing is a shyt show because it is a freelance type game run by promotion companies not sanctioning bodies. The Sanctioning Bodies in Boxing simply exist to collect fees. In most other sports the Sanctioning Bodies would be their own leagues that handle their own promotion + pay the boxers directly.

I always enjoy hearing Foreman's reaction this. That shot was ridiculously fast & vicious
RJ probably at his physical peak

nikkas paid $85 to watch to non champs fight and the fight sold 1.4m buys... Where were these fans for Benavidez vs Plant?? Porter vs Crawford?? Will they show up for Haney vs Lomachenko?? Doubt it...Boxing is a shyt show because fans support bullshyt saying stupid shyt like belts don't matter when they are part of the reason why belts don't matter
nikka Benevidez vs Plant wasn't for a belt (interim belts = reggie)
Porter vs Crawford both of them nikkas are unknown + WBO belt is some recent bullshyt if we being real (they paid enough to make people respect it vs it being some real historic shyt).
Haney is a nobody and Loma is a nobody so yes this PPV will flop also.

Who TF said Benavidez vs Plant was for a belt?? I brought them up because their fight wasn't for a belt just like Tank and RyanAll you did here calling them nobodys was prove my point.. All those fights were better fights than Tank vs Ryan

Sergey Lipinets-Elvis Rodriguez Crossroads Bout In Play For July

Published Thu Apr 27, 2023, 11:06 PM EDT
Sergey Lipinets has finally ended the search to find a willing opponent for his next fight.
BoxingScene.com has learned that plans are in place for the former IBF junior welterweight titlist to face rising Dominican prospect Elvis Rodriguez. The two parties have agreed to meet, though a fight date is not yet attached to the 140-pound crossroads matchup.
Inquiries placed with Premier Boxing Champions (PBC)—who represents both boxers—to confirm were not immediately returned as this goes to publication. One working theory has the bout serving in supporting capacity on a Showtime Pay-Per-View event in July, particularly if a long-discussed Errol Spence-Terence Crawford undisputed welterweight championship clash can get over the line in time.
Lipinets (17-2-1, 13KOs) has been out of the ring since a stoppage win over former lightweight titlist Omar Figueroa after eight rounds in their junior welterweight affair last August 20 in Hollywood, Florida. The opportunity was a matter of being in the right place at the right time for Lipinets, who filled the void left behind when Adrien Broner withdrew from the Showtime televised main event, citing mental health reasons.
The win was the first in more than three years for Lipinets. His post-pandemic run was a twelve-round draw with Custio Clayton in an October 2020 interim IBF welterweight title fight and a sixth-round knockout defeat to Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis in April 2021, which marked his final fight at the weight before returning to the 140-pound division.
Lipinets hadn’t previously fought at 140 since his brief IBF title reign came to a close in a twelve-round defeat to then-unbeaten Mikey Garcia in March 2018. Five straight fights followed at welterweight before returning to his natural weight.
Rodriguez (14-1-1, 12KOs) can empathize with Lipinets’ plight to land relevant opposition or even a steady stream of ring activity.
‘The Dominican Kid’ has won three straight since a May 2021 eight-round defeat to Kenneth Sims Jr. All three fights have come under the PBC banner, beginning with a fifth-round knockout of Juan Pablo Romero, a 2016 Mexican Olympian who was unbeaten at the time of their November 2021 clash on the Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez-Canelo Plant Showtime Pay-Per-View undercard.
Just two fights have followed, both as the opening bout of Showtime televised tripleheaders from The Armory in Minneapolis. Rodriguez scored a seventh-round knockout of Juan Jose Velasco last March 26 before riding two knockdowns en route to a ten-round points win over Joseph Adorno on February 25.
The forthcoming clash versus Lipinets will mark the first time that Rodriguez—a 27-year-old southpaw from Santo Domingo who trains under Freddie Roach in Hollywood, California—will face a former major titlist.
