In a remarkable turn of events one of the world’s leading boxing promoters is not actually ruling out an Anthony Joshua vs Jake Paul fight.
Jake Paul recently beat former middleweight champion Julio Caesar Chavez Jr in a cruiserweight bout over ten rounds last weekend.
He won the contest by a wide UD.
Promoter Won’t Rule Out Anthony Joshua vs Jake Paul
Promoter of Anthony Joshua, Eddie Hearn, won’t rule out the Jake Paul bout:
Hearn is a shrewd operator, he knows the elusive 18 to 25 male and female demographic is one of the most sought after demos in all of live sports inventory and worldwide advertising no less, not only in America.
That is big for those in the UK like Hearn and his associates too of course.
He knows that Jake Paul has these young people tuning into everything he does in America.
Young people in America 18-30 are highly influenced by everything Jake Paul does, he helped Donald Trump get a huge amount of young people in the country even to elect him as current United States President.
Think about that.
That’s actually Paul’s power. He has the young people in America — very few do.
Sure, his boxing matches are not for everyone and that’s okay, he will assumably get chinned at some point, although he’s improving a lot quickly now, at last.
He must draft in very dangerous sparring in the weeks ahead though and a very dangerous opponent next.
And sure, he’s an unbelievable boxing promoter doing great things for fighters in the sport getting them big opportunities on big cards, growing boxing, this.
But the true power Jake Paul really has is he commands attention from young people in America.
That is the most valuable thing in business in the entire world. No question.
That is the most competitive thing that all businesses and politicians in America always compete for, that audience, the small few that don’t are idiots.
Jake Paul has that on his own. That’s how powerful Jake Paul really is.
Sure, some old timers are jealous of him maybe in America, and some don’t like him, but his power in having young people in America tuning into everything he does is unrivalled when it comes to commanding attention from young people in America specifically and precisely.
A Joshua vs Paul fight gets that audience for Joshua and Hearn’s Matchroom a bit more too, and obviously does great numbers.
If it happened most would assume Joshua would knock Paul out within 30 seconds, surely.
The Chavez Jr win has gotten Jake Paul’s name out there more with young people in America as well.
With young people in America whom are not usually boxing fans, either, some now who are watching boxing for the first time due to Jake Paul.
That is a net gain and net positive for boxing.
