They're not missing out because of it, though. They wouldn't get a shot at Mayweather or whoever anyway.
If it attracts more people to the sport, then talented boxers will get chances down the line on bills that wouldn't have happened.

Someone somewhere is missing out. The note interest in these jokers the less will get on cards.
Jake Paul's fought two blokes from Youtube and a retired basketball player. He's now fighting an ex-MMA grappler.
Who would those people have been fighting instead?
They make money from it. It's not costing them anything.
Most professional boxers don't bring a crowd of millions via subs and pay per view though do they.
Jake does.
It cheapens the sport imo, and if one of these YouTubers gets a serious beating with consequences from an ex pro, then it’ll damage the real sport that it’s mimicking. It should get in the ****ing bin.
I can't see any of them getting seriously battered. They'd have to fight someone mental and hurt them, which both seem incredibly unlikely.
If one of them does punch Tyson in the balls though, then I'll happily watch the fallout!
I felt like I watched a school child pushing someone out of the dinner queue.. It was pathetic.
They should be putting on cards for pro fighters is the point. These guys can't fight and haven't earned it.
But if he wasn't a youtube boxer that kind of behaviour wouldn't bother you normally at a face off or weigh in right?
It's a well known fact boxers promote the fight but when they are actually professional boxers it's not as cheesy.
I hope he gets beaten to within an inch of his life and ends up like Michael Watson quite frankly.
Perhaps then people will realise you don't play around with this sport
Some people are naturally good fighters bro, all he needs is some training, which he has been getting for a while now I'm guessing.
Hes no different to you going down the gym and training for a few months and going into the ring.
He just using his platform to maximise his earnings.
Like peeps always say about that fraud Pep.
Why should he have to manage a **** team to prove he's a good manager.
Namean
I think you're severely underestimating the ability of a professional boxer.
The guys got zero talent and he's fighting an mma fighter tharts not a puncher.
The entire things a stain on the sport and its unfair because somewhere there's genuine talent getting peanuts and no exposure.
That's my opinion and it won't change mate.
