Jake Paul says he will call out Canelo Alvarez after defeating Mike Tyson on Friday night in his eighth rounder. YouTuber Paul has called out the superstar Canelo in the past, but the timing of his call now indicates that he thinks his current match against the former Tyson needs it. cheap advertising.
Jake jumps in, chasing him, using Canelo’s name to draw attention to his celebrity match against the old relic, Mike Tyson. It’s very pathetic, but you have to do something to create interest in the Tyson fight. I’m just surprised that Jake Paul didn’t name other popular fighters in his call.
Reasons for Jake Paul calling out Canelo
- This self-promotional move for 27-year-old influencer Jake to help create hype for his Nextflix fight against 58-year-old Mike Tyson at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Obviously, calling Canelo, the #1 star in North America, will help Jake Paul generate much needed attention for his celebrity match against the retired Tyson.
- Line up a big money fight: Although Jake Paul has an estimated net worth of $80 million, which could skyrocket to $120 million after Friday’s fight with Mike Tyson, he puts himself in a position to get an even bigger payday against Canelo if the Mexican star agrees to fight. It would be a money type fight, but there are enough suckers who would buy a Canelo vs. Jake fight for both of them to make a killing.
- Place your name among the best: For Jake Paul who calls Canelo, he planted the idea in the head of casual boxing fans that he is a fighter relevant to the same perch as the Mexican star. It’s a strategy behind name dropping. A person mentions someone who is above their level of achievement to make the listener believe that they are on the same level. Jake’s only chance to convince the fans that he deserves a fight against Canelo is to trick them into thinking that he is on his level after defeating the 58-year-old fossil Tyson.
“This moment will show that I am the face of boxing, the biggest attraction, and me vs. Canelo at 200 lbs for the world cruiserweight title is the biggest fight,” said Jake Paul to SugaSean MMA about what he plans to do after beating Mike Tyson on Friday.
“It makes so much sense. Canelo is coming out; he’s going to want a payday. And I want to show the world that all the crap I’ve been talking about beating Canelo is really true. I’m going to have the biggest upset in the sport of boxing. We’re going to fight to really see whose face it is.”
