    Just looked at the odds for the fight, honestly can't believe JP is 13/2 to win, do people really give him that much of a chance haha

    I flicked through the press conference, the size difference is huge, JP could really get hurt if AJ lands anything close to what he can do

    Worth a bet on it going all 8 rounds with AJ getting decision at 6/1 as AJ probably agrees not to hit him hard.

    He was 14/1 as soon as it was announced. Which I thought was still far too generous.

    This is what everyone’s expecting but AJ has to knock him out for either to move on, the only way either of them comes out of this with any sort of credibility is if Jake Paul gets knocked out. Even if it’s a genuine fight and Jake Paul by some miracle manages to just defend himself to last 8 rounds nobody is going to believe it’s authentic.

    Lose lose for Paul especially. He has to get brutally KTFO or it will remove any sort of question marks over whether his fights have any authenticity to them again. He’s jumped in two footed here.

    People still have question marks? The fight against Tyson was as fake as you can get, it wasn’t even remotely convincing.

    His early fights were genuine, but after the loss to Tommy Fury, who is a below average pro, he gave up on the idea of being a proper boxer and is just cashing in.

    It’s win win for Paul, either he makes a ton of money or he makes a ton of money.

    I would imagine probably 70% of the people watching want to see Jake Paul get knocked out. So if he doesn’t get ko by aj, nobody is going to bother again with his next stupid fight. I reckon he’s built a rod for his own back.

    The other side to this is AJ is substantially richer than Jake Paul, so I don’t see what incentive there is for him to throw the fight for a relative pittance.
