    Oh that's true. Paul has just taken it to the point where the "hate" motivation to watch is higher than the actual skill.

    Boxing is all based on promotional ability to draw interest and sell tickets, be it in person or through pay-per-veiw. Floyd Mayweather realized there was an amazing market of people who wanted to see him get his ass kicked and were willing to pay for it. They would get disappointed and be promised that the NEXT TIME it would happen.

    As P.T. Barnum was credited for saying: "No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public."

    That being said. Serrano and Taylor sold out the Hulu Theater at MSG for their first fight and can certainly run it back a third time and probably do similar numbers.

    Also Jake Paul calling out Canelo. I know Saul doesn't want to fight Benavidez or really anyone that can challenge him, but would a current world champion take this fight?
