Jake Paul Sounds Off
IPA

Jake Paul seemed very displeased with Canelo. Their fight that was being finalized crumbled out of nowhere. Canelo decided to go back to Terance Crawford and move forward with their fight that they agreed on a few days ago.

Jake Paul who is the face of boxing was looking to break all types of records with a scheduled Canelo fight just watched those dreams crash and burn. This fight would have been significant because Canelo has been the face of boxing since Floyd Mayweather retired.  The emergence of Jake Paul has forced boxing fans to take notice. The guy who is a social media star is bringing millions of new viewers to a sport that is viewed as a declining sport to sports fans. People love to hate Paul but they love to watch him, he’s the ultimate villain at this point.

Paul goes off

Jake Paul went off on social media ripping Canelo for backing out of their blockbuster lucrative fight. “The truth is, you could be bought,” Paul said. “You’re a money-hungry squirrel chasing your next nut. The truth is, these sports-washing, shady characters are paying you hundreds of millions of dollars to stop our fight from happening because they couldn’t fathom the fact that they can’t create a bigger fight than me and you.”

Paul wasn’t done there, he continued to show signed agreements and promotion obligations that were agreed upon by him and Canelo. He continued to rant about Canelo.

“Claiming he’s not fighting YouTubers. Bulls—,” Paul said in his video. “Claiming he’s fighting real fighters, but he’s fighting Crawford, a 135-pound fighter, and running from a real fighter like David Benavidez.”

“You call me a YouTuber, but you’ve never had a boxing match as big as mine,” Paul said. “I promise you one thing, Canelo. Any fight that you do this year, mine will be bigger.”

Jake Paul goes on to try to troll Canelo in a later post by dancing to mariachi music in the ring. You can see this is a clear case of him showing out as he’s the one that lost out on the bag.
