Jake “The Problem Child” Paul and Anderson “The Spider” Silva mainly traded mutual admiration at Monday’s kickoff press conference to hype their October 29 PPV clash at Gila River Arena in Phoenix, Arizona. The fight will be an eight rounder at a catchweight of 187 pounds.
Jake Paul: “Anderson Silva is the nicest person, and we love him. If my opponent is a di**head, I’m going to treat him like a di**head and beat his ass. But I respect this man, I’m still going to knock him out, but respectfully knock him out…it won’t go more than five. If you beat me, I’ll get a spider tattoo.”
Anderson Silva: “I come to [boxing] to show my respect to the sport and the professional fighters. I’m happy to be here to continue my job at 47…you don’t need to get a spider tattoo. I know you’re my fan. I’m your fan too. Big fan. I hate tattoos bro. I don’t have tattoos.”
Can’t underestimate Jake. He has talent and comes to fight. But I believe the spider fights at a higher level. We will see. Interesting fight !
Silva is 47 years old
Yes, that age of 47 does make a difference. Jake took all that in consideration when he wanted to fight Silva. Yep, no doubt.
Djembe
Ortiz is allegedly 53 yrs old
The is ridiculous
My good mrCEO……from Montréal,Hi! I have been watching boxing since 1970 and I am a BOXING FAN…Tell me about Beterbiev,Duran,Sugar Mosely and so many more.You’re absolutly RIGHT. And,if is there something worse than ridiculous,it will match perfectly this kind of exebition (sorry for the text,I haven’t use English since 1984)
Cool. Tattoos suck
excellent, seems like Silva is on the up and up for this one, and will actually enter into this agreement in/with good faith (unlike the last 2 clowns) and this fight will actually happen. good for them and boxing
Seems likely it is somehow guaranteed that Paul won’t lose. Small step above pro wrestling.
I am looking forward to not watching this
you’re a wise man
Nose dive? or Fight? We’ll see in round one…..if its real silva in three. or dive in six….
Out of all the real boxer known and unknown that are willing to fight jaky, he choses an old washout mma fighter! Anyways, as long as those internet youtuber kids who has no clue on boxing, keep paying to watch this freak shows….the freak show will go on! Its not the real fight fans paying ppv’s, its the influencer cellphone youtuber kids! Jaky its the new internet influencer mayweather….people will pay to watch no matter what!
Boxing is becoming a circus, a freak show.
