Do you remember when the UFC-generated hype surrounding Rhonda R. was such that many people(experts included) were saying that she could easily beat Mayweather in a real fight?Some still believe that. All I'm saying is the pendulum had swung so far that it was bound to come back. Taking nothing away from wrestling or BJJ, but people basically wrote boxing's obituary after the Tyson era. Forgot who said something like, "America's interest in boxing is directly related to their Heavyweight division ranking."
‘I’m not done’ - Woodley wants ‘four fights’ in 2022 after KO loss to Jake Paul
- Thread starter Wild
- Start date
Woodley stepped in for a payday against Jake. We all know that CLEAR nonverbal communication that took place between him and Jake right before the KO was not organic or natural. That was a clear get ready, ok I’m ready, hit me and pay me for the free hit KO. Woodley laid down for a cool million or more on top of his pay. What exactly would Woodley have won with a win? There is NO trajectory up the ranks of boxing after a Jake fight, there is no next big thing, he would have won for nothing more than a pat on the back for beating a YouTuber everyone expects him to beat. Jake is the spectacle with the fan base, he’s the one with more to gain with each win solidifying him as a legit threat, he’s the one who stands to make more money with each win, so he’s the one who would pay to have the other guy lay down in highlight reel fashion. Woodley was so thirsty for the money he called for another boring matchup, and it was boring af until Jake folded him up like an overcooked omelet. Woodley KNOWS he took the incentive for allowing himself to get KO’d. Big business baby! Jake now buys him a Rolex, gives him an extra million or two on top of his payday, and Woodley is financially secure.. and then he can go perform in a real fight as if this never happened. If this were a REAL fight and Woodley would have been K’d he’d have been making a ton of excuses. The fact he’s trying to tell us it wasn’t a fixed fight and kissing Jake’s ash heavily tells me he’s in damage control mode. Tyron made no excuses for the way he was flatlined? ? That’s the biggest red flag of all! ? He’s grateful for the life changing payday he made for taking one prearranged flush punch.
He's not done but I'm done with him
I might pick Ronda in a street fight against Mayweather. He wouldn’t know what to do if she got her hands on him.
Every single line of that is your feelings and what you WANT to be true, and absolutely nothing else. It's all fantasy.
But hey, OK, the fight is fixed. That's cool, you've figured it out.
But walk me through this, eh, because I'm interested in this fixed fight. How does it work, exactly? How does it come about?
How many people were in on it? Just Jake and Woodley? Or more?
When did Jake tell him "for this fight to happen, you'll have to agree to be legitimately knocked out cold and faceplanted as soon as I give a prearranged signal in real time"? How far along were the negotiations, or did Paul's management initially approach Woodley with the offer of losing a fixed fight?
Did Jake approach any other fighters with the same proposal?

Jake Paul level striking is the new K1 level striking.
