    The desire to see him get konocked on his ass or he's fulfilling this destiny of new bro culture where they all think they can fight.

    I've covered a Jake Paul fight. It's not a boxing crowd at all, the Jake Paul had the same meatheads that go to the UFC fights. So when we're talking a "boxing" crowd I don't know that he has a boxing crowd. It's a UFC crowd.

    So it’s sort of like a club show where a lot of the fans are friends or acquaintances of the fighters and as long as the guy who changes their oil keeps winning who’s to say he’s not the next Sugar Ray Robinson as far as they’re concerned?

    I covered Jake Paul when he fought Mike Perry in Tampa. It was a heavy "Go check out my OnlyFans" page crowd and the men you would expect to hang out with them. It's a very stereotypical crowd if you imagined what type of people follow Jake Paul on social media.

    1). I can’t imagine a mediocre athlete in any other sport being able to make as much as the best in a sport
    2). Why does serious boxing media bother covering his fights?

    2.) Because people love spectacles that entertain them. See also: Trump, Donald.

    Basketball writers don’t cover celebrity games.

    If this were a world where celebrity basketball games filled a football stadium but the average sports fan couldn’t name a single NBA player, basketball writers would cover celebrity games.
