- Jake Paul Hounds UFC Fighter Pay
The Problem Child is living up to his nickname in that he brings a lot of controversy and animosity to boxing. Jake Paul has done the opposite of traditionally climbing ranks, and gone straight to prizefights. He seems to try to pick his opponents for his advantage, ones that aren't solely boxers or are smaller than him. Hopefully this is only to raise animosity and build up peoples want to watch him fight. All being channeled to bring more fans to combat sports, raise PPV sales, and ultimately help fighters might be Jakes real plan. Regardless of what you think about Jake Paul, one thing you should respect about him is his relentless onslaught on UFC fighter pay. UFC fighters are some of the lowest payed athletes in the world compared to the revenue they generate and the % they get paid. UFC fighters are getting somewhere around 10% where Bellator fighters are getting closer to 50%. Jake Paul in his interview with MMA Fighting said - âThey canât advocate for fighter pay because Dana White will just shunt them, and a lot of the times itâs the same thing with some of these boxing promoters who sign young stars and lock them up into super long contracts. But I see how hard fighting is, I see how hard these fighters work, and the fact that itâs so skewed versus any other sport and itâs the most dangerous sport out of all of them? There needs to be a change there and Iâm actually starting to affect Dana Whiteâs business.â So it's easy to see where he stands. He also made it very clear he wants fighters to get more payouts on their cards. So any fighter on a card with Jake will get a good deal. Regardless what you think about Jake Paul, try to keep in mind that animosity sells fights. If you try to look at the bigger picture, I think you'll see he's a genuine dude who want's to help the sport grow. Now if he'll just fight a boxer in his weight-class!
- When Should Fighters Retire?
This is a big question that's highly debated in the combat sports community. Because we've got boxers like Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather who are way past their prime but still competing and fighting for titles at that. We've got MMA fighters like Clay Guida and Jan Blachowicz nearing 40 but still competing or holding titles! Where do we draw the line though, or should we even draw a line? After Manny's loss the other night many fight fans are wondering if he should retire or at what point generally we should stop expecting our favorite fighters to compete. We've got guys like GSP and Khabib who retire what some would say kind of early, but at the same time these dudes were very hard on themselves in their training - must've saw a decline in their performances and known it was time to hang up the gloves. Personally I think we should leave it up to the fighter. Look at Blachowicz, the dude is near 40. He's the oldest current UFC champion I believe. The man is still out there kicking butt. At the same time there's fighters out there retiring well into their early or mid 30's. Then you've got guys like Anderson Silva who, step down from the complicated dynamics of MMA to focus on solely boxing. At the end of the day we should just support our favorite fighters in what they want to do whether it be retire, keep competing, or just go to coaching. It's not up to us, and we shouldn't act like we know any better than the fighters we are fans of. What do you think?
- Ugas Beats Pacqiaou By Unanimous Decision
Pacman was making his return at 42 years old with 2 years since his last fight to compete against Yordenis Ugas for the WBA Welterweight title and lost via unanimous decision. Manny is the only boxer to ever win world titles in 8 different divisions, he's definitley a boxing GOAT, but will we be seeing him compete again is a big question that fight fans are asking right now. Many feel that this fight, we didn't get to see the trademark speed and power that Manny usually displays. Some argue that Ugas is just that good, Pacquiao really hasn't aged that much it's just he contested against a much more skilled boxer - which could be the case and Pacman fans are just in denial. This is a highly disputed topic that we know the boxing community will be hashing out for the next few months. If Manny should get a rematch, keep fighting, retire, or what's next for him and Yordenis Ugas. Many people still want to see Pacquiao fight Spence, the bout we were supposed to be watching tonight. What do you think fight fans? Should Manny keep fighting? A rematch vs Ugas or maybe a reschedule with Errol Spence? This will be an exciting topic to follow and we hope to bring you the answers to these questions soon!
- UFC Fight Night Cannonier VS Gastelum Results
There were some amazing bouts on this card and fight fans definitely got to see some explosive combat, although there were no knockouts on the main card. The main event of the evening wound up with a unanimous decision victory for Jarred Cannonier who out striked his tough opponent. It was not an easy battle for Jared but he managed to maintain most of the fight in his favor. Clay Guida lost by split decision to Mark Madsen, it really came down to the striking with these two. Albeit was a very close fight and Guida came close to ending Madsen's 10-0 record, now 11-0. Parker Porter did the heavyweight division justice tonight. He was swinging for the fences the entire bout and won the exchanges to get a unanimous decision victory over Chase Sherman. He may have not been the most technical but he definitely won the fight. Saidyokub Kakhramonov won via standing guillotine submission over Trevor Jones at 4 minutes and 39 seconds into the third round. The fight seemed fairly evenly matched and brutal with Jones defending the fight from going to the ground where Saidyokub wanted it. Vince Pichel out striked Austin Hubbard to get a unanimous decision victory. This was definitely a one sided fight. Both fighters were tired by the end of it but you could tell Pitchel had damaged Hubbard throughout the bout. Alexandre Pantoja gets the rear naked choke submission win over Brandon Royval. At one minute and 46 seconds into the second round Pantoja was the winner by tapping Royval. Pantoja out striked Royval in the first round as well.
- Mayweather Claims There Will Never Be A Better Fighter
Floyd Mayweather is well known for his outspokenness. He is recently quoted as saying - " There will never be a better fighter than me, ever!" on Million Dollaz Worth Of Game Show. Where he goes off about any fighter being compared to him. Maybe he's compensating for not making Manny Pacquiao's Mount Rushmore boxer list. Floyd makes one hell of an argument though. He's undefeated professionally. He's the best pound for pound ranked boxer in history. He's got the best number on the scorecards of any boxer in history. He may not always give us the crazy knockouts blood thirsty fight fans crave because he fights defensively and mainly for points without taking huge risks. Regardless, Mayweather is a dominant force in boxing. I think everyone knows this though, it's not like there's anybody out there trying to say Mayweather isn't one of the best. (Okay maybe there are some crackheads out there.) But is Floyd really as good as he says or is it just ego? What do you think? Is Floyd really the GOAT? Will there be a better boxer than him? I think it's a bold claim to say stuff like that but, as of now he is the best per scorecards. Id still pay to watch Mike Tyson fighter over Mayweather any day, but that's just me.
- Jose Aldo Shuts Down Mcgregor Rematch
It seems as though fighters are sick of Mcgregor. Aldo who is just riding off a recent win over Pedro Munhoz is getting a lot of buzz. Fight fans are asking who is next and if Aldo will be interested in chasing the title again. Jose has made it clear he's here to fight, but he's also made it clear who he's not going to fight. Back in 2015 Mcgregor was the one who de-throned Aldo. Jose was stripped of his title by Mcgregor and was denied any chance of a rematch before Mcgregor climbed weight classes to fight for a second title. So Jose Aldo has some very direct feelings about being asked for a rematch now that the tables are turned. Jose said - âBack when it should have happened, like they are going rematches and trilogies, I didn't have the opportunity, no one considered anything, and each one went their way. Now that the situation has inverted again, it feels like they have the obligation to book it. No, I donât see myself fighting Conor. Never, I think. I can even say that. It might happen tomorrow, but thatâs not the path. I root for him today, I hope he recovers from the injury and fights again at the highest level and becomes champion again, because that way he and I will always be together. No matter if I'm down and he's up or the other way around, people will always put out names together, and that way we carry each other up.â Aldo is very humble in his reasonings for not wanting to pursue the fight. We would all love to see that rematch, I know I would for sure. What say you fight fans? Do you agree with Jose?

- Pacquiao Shuts Down Conspiracy Theory On Spence
"Short minded" is what Manny Pacquiao had to say about conspiracy theorists wagering that Errol Spence had faked his eye injury to avoid facing Pacman in their upcoming bout. Spence was in a car crash two years ago, Freddie Roach has suggested that Spence isn't the same fighter as he was before. Which has fueled many of the conspiracies around the fight cancellation. Mostly Manny is shutting down his own fans going after Spence. Pacman had this to say - âIt's hard. If they were in the situation of Spence, they would understand and realize and understand about the situation. Of course Errol Spence would not do that. To train hard and donât want to fight. A fighter is a fighter. Nobody is going to cancel a fight they've been training months for. I feel a little disappointed because I've been working hard and focusing on this training camp. I did a lot of discipline, doing my best, but it's a good thing they told me the fights not cancelled, just a substation. There's Ugas." Ugas took Pacman's belt from his inactivity. So we can all rest assured that Pacman still really wants this fight. What do you think fight fans? Is Manny right, do we cut Spence some slack? Will he perform as well or better against Ugas?
- Jorge Masvidal Prediction for Paul V Woodley
Jorge Masvidal is a seasoned MMA fighter. The dude has competed in Bellator, Strikeforce, and other promotions while he is currently under the UFC. At 35-15-0 the guy stands somewhere to make fight predictions. At least more so than your cousin who tries to coach fights from his couch while eating chips. Jorge was on The MMA Hour, and said - âWoodley can throw them hands. Ben Askren never could. So it's like you've got a guy that can fight if it's slingin' fists. Woodley could have made his money grappling, which he did. He was good enough of an athlete, and he was good enough of an athlete to make his money with his hands to knock people the f*** out. So I donât think... I know Jake's never been in there with a guy like that, that's explosive, is a good athlete, and has a ton of experience over him. So if Jake wins, f***ing wild, my hat's off to him, I was wrong, I don't know s*** about fighting, but chances are - Woodleyâs going to knock him the f*** out.â Jake Paul is a 3-0 boxer who got his start making videos on the Vines app and then Youtube. He's come under lot's of scrutiny for not challenging fighters on his level, although Tyron Woodley is a good bit smaller than Jake Paul and a good bit older. This matchup may shut down people's criticism for Jake as Tyron is a beast with a 19-7-1 MMA record. What do you think fight fans? Who is going to win?
