Losers with nothing going on after look to clamor off winners, Canelo is this case with one Jake Paul.
Jake Paul has done well as a promoter to his credit, he has gotten some events again on different networks in boxing.
But not big fights mind you.
His time in boxing as a pro boxer is more or less done now, we think, and he had the nerve to say he could get $200 million for Canelo to fight him in a real pro boxing match recently.
Some things to bare in mind for those new to boxing on the genesis of this:
- Jake Paul called out Canelo Alvarez after beating Nate Diaz
- Paul posted to X on May 4 2024 saying he wants Canelo after Mike Tyson at the time
- Canelo responded on May 7 2024 at the Munguia presser saying he only fights real fighters and went in the Terence Crawford direction
- Paul got knocked out by Anthony Joshua before last Christmas
Jake Paul has also said he’s looking at retiring from professional boxing lately — so this hardly fits with a man looking to pursue a fight with Canelo.
Alvarez also is due to return to boxing this September and is on the comeback trail after a loss to Terence Crawford last year.
Canelo takes on Christian Mbilli next up and Jake Paul looks a million miles away from him.
