Lawrence Okolie: Jake Paul “The Greatest Boxer” | Biden News

WBO champion Lawrence Okolie spent some time working with Jake Paul in Dubai, and shared a shot of the two on Instagram:

“I’m excited to share the ring with Jake Paul today,” he said, which of course caused a lot of groans in the comments. How can Lawrence Okolie do this, and so on.

A fan asked for a “fair estimate,” and Okolie replied, “He’s better than most boxers; People hate it just because of its root effect. “

This is the truth, although most fans only register the number of boxers they see on television, and it’s not like most of them watch everything, prelims and “small” fight cards and the like.

BoxRec, for what it’s worth, Paul ranked No. 214 in the world at cruiserweight. This is out of 1,152 ranked male cruiserweight boxers in the world by their current ranking system.

Only a small percentage of the world’s boxers have a story worthy of one of those video package interviews that give a long-winded overview of their career. Most of them are making paycheck to paycheck, with no hope – or illusion – of being the headliner at Madison Square Garden or the O2 Arena or Dubai’s tennis courts.

Paul, of course, does not get to headline pay-per-view cards, to draw money, which – choosing names at random from BoxRec’s 201-250 cruiserweights page – Anthony Hollaway and Nikolas Charalampous did.

Even the buys he made for his fight with Anderson Silva, which Paul admitted he was unhappy with, were strong by today’s PPV standards, especially with how cheap the event would be. If Paul vs Silva really did, say, 200K buys, the low end of Paul’s initial estimate, then that beats combined Numbers reported for Andy Ruiz Jr vs Luis Ortiz on September 4 (65K) and Deontay Wilder vs Robert Helenius on October 15 (75K).

And really, either of me those fights being a big pay-per-view event like Jake Paul’s pay-per-view, especially considering it. you, The Real Boxing Fan, are the target audience, not “Jake Paul fans” and “angry UFC fans with money to burn.” He was you 80 dollars they expect to drink milk for these wars. Jake Paul PPV doesn’t depend on you, really.

Even if you consider these are the real boxers in the MMA of the Athletics ) is the same – going 77-85 in baseball sends you pretty much home after 162 games, as does going 68-94. I guess you could argue which team sucks, but you’re in the same boat.

Anyway, this is what I have to say about Lawrence Okolie taking a photo with Jake Paul saying, “It’s not as bad as all that, really.” In fact, I could go on for a while, but to whom, and to what end?
