00:00They're fake. Everything's fake. It's weird. And so it's like this is the clearest like fixed fight you're ever gonna see look at this
00:06That looks so fake. What just happened?
00:08He hit him with the left. I know. I know that part.
00:10Let's watch it again. Look at this guy holding his hands up and watch. Watch this.
00:13Oh, he like literally shows him his chin and this goes like and he goes down also
00:18Nuts right just the fact that he's willing to fight the two-time heavyweight champion former Olympic gold medalist
00:25Yeah, a guy was gigantic in his pride built like a Greek God
00:30Yeah, and then you're gonna stay and he's a one-punch killer
00:33And you're gonna stand in front of that guy and he avoided shots till the sixth run. He just started getting tired
00:38Well, you're when you're on a platform like Netflix that turns one part episodes into a six-part series
00:42Why would you think that part of their entertainment model is to have a 30-second fight?
00:48Why the internet is a buzz after a jaw-dropping claim surfaced during the latest joe rogan podcast about the anthony joshua
00:55Versus jake paul fight and if this is true, it would change everything
01:00According to explosive remarks now circulating online
01:03Joshua allegedly revealed that jake paul tried to bribe him ahead of the fight with one shocking request in a conversation
01:09That has fans questioning the legitimacy of influencer boxing once again
01:14Joshua's comments have reignited accusations that some of jake paul's biggest fights are more business deals than genuine battles
01:21Leaving the combat sports world with an uncomfortable question. Was it ever real to begin with?
01:26What I could have done better is a lot of things
01:29One hundred percent in the fight game
01:34You've seen the amazing fighters that have graced us over the last hundred years
01:40And the expectations that we put on ourselves are immense, but
01:44I tried my best
01:48Jake
01:50Done well while it lasted but if you remember what I said in the interview with
01:54Cameron is
01:57Fighting is not just physical it's psychological and when you understand the psychological warfare
02:01I did say to you is that jake what's going to happen?
02:03I'm going to see a time
02:06When i'm going to take your soul
02:09And you're
02:10Either going to give up or you're going to get knocked out
02:13And unless you have that instinct
02:16You just will never be a good fighter
02:17So I wish that I could have knocked him out at the start
02:20But as been as we saw
02:23Uh tonight jake
02:26Has spirit
02:27While rogan stopped short of making direct accusations
02:30He openly questioned the realism of the matchup
02:33Pointing out the massive gap in experience
02:36Power and ring iq between a former heavyweight champion and a youtube turned boxer
02:41Rogan suggested that if joshua had gone in with full intent to finish
02:44The fight likely wouldn't have lasted long at all
02:47He also highlighted how modern combat sports are increasingly influenced by entertainment platforms
02:52And massive paydays
02:54Where stretching a fight can be more valuable than ending it quickly
02:57Like more spectacle-ish fights
02:59People were like oh this is your
03:00He fought you know nate robinson like a basketball player
03:03Yeah, but the thing is he knocked nate robinson dead
03:05He knocked him the fuck out
03:06And it's the way he did it that I was trying to tell people
03:08I'm like no no no
03:09That was skillful
03:11It's like there's there's like boxing matches where you see two guys just slugging it out
03:15One guy lands a punch and yeah, he landed a good punch
03:18What jake did is he slid back and landed a punch
03:22It's like the athleticism along with the intelligence the technique
03:26I'm like he's not even doing it that long and he's also hyper competitive even though
03:30He's wealthy, you know, like you would assume that wealth would take away your drive for competition
03:35Yeah, he's also nuts right just the fact that he's willing to fight the two-time heavyweight champion
03:41Former olympic gold medalist. Yeah a guy was gigantic in his prime built like a greek god
03:47Yeah, and then you're gonna stay and he's a one-punch killer
03:51And you're gonna stand in front of that guy and he avoided shots till the sixth run. He just started getting tired
03:56Simon jordan added even more fuel to the controversy by claiming that anthony joshua could have knocked out jake paul at any moment
04:02But deliberately didn't according to jordan the fight had to be stretched out to satisfy netflix's expectations
04:09Not boxings. He suggested that joshua's power experience and timing were so far beyond paul's level
04:15That a quick finish would have ruined the spectacle and the streaming numbers instead
04:20The bout allegedly needed rounds drama and tension to justify the massive platform and global audience
04:26While jordan offered no proof his comments echoed what many fans already believe that when big money and streaming giants like netflix are involved
04:34Entertainment value can quietly take priority over competitive reality leaving viewers questioning how real the fight truly was
04:41Jake paul posted on twitter after the fight jaw broken heart and balls intact
04:47That's a good thing
04:48Uh time to rest recover and return to cruiser weight
04:51I mean he's coming out of it as if well
04:54Yeah, I got I got battered in the end, but boy
04:56That's what he will do. I mean depends what you think this was
04:59I mean, I never felt it was anything other than entertainment
05:01I'm not surprised that I mean
05:03Anthony joshua could have knocked jake paul out anytime. He wanted to
05:07He didn't want to so why didn't he because well you're when you're on a platform like
05:11Netflix that turns one part episodes into a six part series
05:14Why would you think that part of their entertainment model is to have a 30 second fight?
05:19Why the netflix you watch a netflix series you can watch it and you can go well
05:23I'm gonna get the gist of it. Why have you got to turn it into 10 episodes?
05:26Because it's i'm dying with boredom after
05:28Are you telling me that netflix probably emphasized listen guys take this as long as you can
05:33Chael sonnen didn't mince words when reacting to the fight
05:36He flatly said this was not boxing according to sonnen what fans witnessed had all the visuals of a boxing match
05:43But none of the substance that defines the sport
05:46He argued that real boxing is about danger urgency and the constant threat of a fight ending mistake
05:52None of which were present sonnen suggested the pacing restraint
05:56And overall tone felt more like a produced exhibition than a genuine contest
06:00While he stopped short of accusing anyone of fixing outcomes his message was clear when elite fighters appear capable of ending about at will
06:07But don't the result stops being competition and starts being entertainment
06:12That was not a boxing match jake paul had a very healthy fear for his life while he was in there
06:18He was running away. He was trying to get distance
06:20Then he was trying to step in to win this content
06:23Then he's trying to get out of the way so that he doesn't get hurt again. He was fighting
06:26He's got to go forward. So now he's clenched him now. He's dropping down to his knees. He's going below the waist
06:31He's getting a double leg position. Jake was fighting for his survival
06:34You could see this animal who's been caged is just trying to make it through it was incredible
06:39And any boxer that wants to say well, that wasn't high-level boxing go ahead
06:42I won't argue with you, but any human that says that wasn't a fight. Yeah, it was a fight
06:47After the fight anthony joshua was honest and reflective about his performance
06:52Saying that while he got the job done with a sixth round knockout, he didn't feel it was his best showing and believed he could have done much better
06:58Joshua admitted he needed to do better because he struggled early to land clean shots and couldn't corner jake paul as quickly as many had expected
07:06Calling it a win but not a success and emphasizing that he still has a lot of improvement ahead of him
07:12I'm gonna see a time when i'm gonna take your soul and you're
07:19Either gonna give up or you're gonna get knocked out and unless you have that instinct
07:25You just will never be a good fighter. So I wish that I could have knocked him out at the start
07:30But as been as we saw
07:33Tonight jake
07:35Has spirit
07:37He has some heart
07:38He tried his best and I take my heart off to him because
07:42Number one a lot of fighters haven't got in the ring with me and jake did
07:47And secondly even when he got knocked down he kept on trying to get up
07:52And I take my heart off to him. So america
07:55I think you have someone who could potentially
07:58If he still has the heart for it come back again dust this, you know dust the dirt off his shoulder
08:03And come again and maybe sell out this center
08:06Despite the knockout immediately after his high profile fight with anthony joshua
08:12Jake paul wasted no time turning the spotlight to his next challenge calling out former ufc heavyweight champion
08:18Francis and ganu in a post fight interview paul emphasized that he's ready to test himself against the most dangerous opponents in combat sports
08:26Signaling a clear move from influencer boxing toward mixed martial arts crossover hype the callout wasn't just bravado
08:33It was calculated leveraging the massive attention from the joshua bout to position himself as a legitimate threat to one of
08:40mma's most feared power punchers fans reacted with a mix of excitement and skepticism
08:45questioning whether paul could handle in ganu's striking and wrestling pedigree
08:49But from paul's perspective the fight represents another chance to dominate headlines sell pay-per-views and push his brand further into mainstream combat sports
08:57Continuing his pattern of high-risk high reward matchups that blur the line between spectacle and sport
09:04I can't really fucking talk. Are you in pain?
09:07Um, yeah, in all the fact that you do what you do. I mean, it's not that hard to get your ass beat
09:14I won two rounds and then I got dropped
09:18But it was great experience like I learned a lot in there, but I had him wobble that one point
09:23He hit you in the face and not only did you not get knocked out you dropped and said wow wow
09:30I was on the ground. I was like that was a good shot. Did he surprise you with his power?
09:35He surprised my jaw. It's literally snapped. It's like a baseball in there
09:40But yeah, I mean I told everyone though that I would
09:43Do better than francis and that francis
09:45I think maybe now he'll take it. Well, he has something to prove
09:53Yeah, deontay wilder didn't hold back when reacting to the anthony joshua versus jake paul matchup calling it one of the most bizarre
09:59Spectacles in modern boxing history wilder expressed disbelief that a former heavyweight champion like joshua
10:05Would step into the ring with a social media influencer questioning both the competitive legitimacy and the motivation behind the fight
10:12While he acknowledged the entertainment value and the massive financial stakes wilder made it clear that from a professional boxing standpoint
10:19The matchup felt unnatural highlighting the enormous gap in skill experience and power between the two fighters
10:26He also hinted that joshua's strategy may have been influenced by factors beyond sport such as media exposure and streaming platforms rather than pure competition
10:35You know for me in my opinion, I think it's scripted a little bit because you know of the weight
10:41Difference and you know joshua is a a a former
10:45You know champion and also, you know, he's current he's active, you know
10:50And this is going to be the first time that we see paul
10:52You know find an active fighter, you know, I mean we seen the mike tyson that was all fun. That was cute
10:56You know, I'm saying it's fun and games and stuff
10:58But now you're dealing with a a real professional, you know
11:01And so we'll see how it how it ends up in you know, like I said, I think it's scripted, but you know
11:08We don't see at the end of the day. I just want everybody to have fun
11:11I want them to uh enjoy themselves because we risk our lives for others entertainment and uh
11:17Just go home safely to be able to have memories and say we did a great job. Thank you. Let's get a bomb squad to win
11:24Brendan schaub didn't hold back after the jake paul versus anthony joshua fight openly suggesting that the bout felt fake
11:31Schaub known for his candid takes on combat sports argued that the pacing
11:36Joshua's apparent restraint and the overall flow of the fight raised serious questions about how real it actually was
11:42He noted that at any point a fighter of joshua's caliber could have ended the fight decisively
11:48But instead the action seemed carefully measured almost like it was designed for entertainment rather than competition
11:54Schaub also highlighted the influence of pay-per-view platforms streaming deals and media narratives
12:00suggesting that financial incentives have taken priority over sporting integrity
12:04While he didn't claim there was an official fix his comments echoed what many fans were thinking
12:09That the fight felt choreographed to maximize drama tension and spectacle rather than being a true contest between two fighters
12:16That uh, that uh, that jake paul anthony joshua fight, huh?
12:26I I don't know what to say man. I uh
12:29I uh, I haven't seen the reaction online
12:34Something
12:36Something's up. Yeah
12:38Anthony joshua didn't throw a single straight right hand for six rounds
12:43He didn't cut off the ring
12:50I'm trying to make sense of it. I just I
12:53It's tough to pin a guy down when he's on his bike and jake was moving so much
12:58I
12:58I
13:00Ooh, I'm trying to be cool
13:04It was weird, right? Something's up
13:06Um
13:10Even the even the knockdown, uh, where they called it
13:15Anybody who's ever been concussed
13:18I've been there. Um
13:20When he got knocked down the first thing he did was look at his brother and say that was a good one
13:25When you're when you're concussed you really don't have uh
13:31The brainpower to do that
13:34I don't know man
13:35It was disappointing super disappointing
13:39Super disappointing
13:40Uh kudos to both those boys get your money get your bag boy, so i'm not mad at anybody
13:46I think they both made like 90 mil, uh, get your bag
13:50We're gonna ask some questions, right?
13:53Right?
13:55Even after the fight criticism of the matchup continues with some observers arguing that the anthony joshua versus jake paul bout
14:02should never have happened in the first place
14:04Critics point out that the size
14:06Experience and skill gap between a former heavyweight world champion and a social media influencer turned boxer was too extreme
14:14Making the fight more of a spectacle than a legitimate sporting contest
14:18joshua being taken six rounds
14:20By jake paul we're in the aftermath here the press conference is going on behind us we yet see jake paul and anthony joshua out here
14:27ak
14:28You were ringside you were around the whole fight
14:30People are complaining that anthony joshua may have embarrassed himself in there tonight letting jake take him six rounds
14:37It's ridiculous anybody that saying that doesn't know anything about boxing first off
14:42If you see how jake was moving and
14:46Clenching the first three four rounds of that fight you would understand it doesn't matter how bad you are
14:52If a fighter in front of you is destined to not get hit and not get knocked out
14:57It's almost impossible to knock that guy out
15:00When when jake was okay with exchanging and trying even he was exhausted
15:04He said i'm gonna try that's when aj was there to land the shots aj did what he's supposed to do
15:09Not easy to knock a guy out and survive and you know that yeah, I do
15:12I
15:13Wondered early on whether he didn't have a lot of adrenaline and he was walking jake down jake was making himself small
15:19And moving away and aj said you know what i'm gonna take my time here and marinate you
15:24Exactly listen when a guy that's moving like jake this inexperienced you're going you're going to gas out
15:30I knew it for after half the first round if jake keeps moving like that
15:34He's going to gas out and through two three rounds and I noticed that aj said okay
15:39I'm gonna let him run around right people are screaming cut the ring off
15:43Let me let him run around and gas out once he gassed out what happened
15:46He had to stay in front of him and that's what the end result was many argue that putting paul in the ring against someone with an olympic pedigree and
15:53True heavyweight power posed serious safety risks as evidenced by his broken jaw and multiple knockdowns
15:59The bigger picture you and I are boxing guys we go to boxing all the time the question
16:04We perhaps need to ask is did that entertain the fans tonight?
16:08Should we be seeing that again? Is that it now? We've seen that novelty should a fight like that against between an olympic champion a two-weight
16:17World heavyweight world champion against a relative novice should that be sanctioned and licensed
16:23By a commission, you know, it was a one-off jake's a one-off
16:26But we shouldn't be seeing a lot of these events in my view never again. We should never have
16:32That gap of experience the mismatch
16:35Should never happen again. I mean to your point jake is an anomaly right like
16:41We can let him get that off. He tried it and he even landed a couple of shots
16:45But you saw at first. I mean as soon as he landed first right hand even he saw I can't hurt this guy
16:51I'm not gonna
16:52It was a pebble hit in a tank is how I've described it. Joshua addressed the backlash head-on
16:56Admitting that he deserves the criticism following the jake paul fight
17:00Joshua acknowledged that fans have high expectations of him as a former heavyweight champion and said
17:05He understands why people were disappointed or confused by the matchup rather than deflecting blame
17:11He took responsibility explaining that once you choose to step into the ring
17:15Especially in a crossover spectacle you have to accept the reaction that comes with it
17:19Joshua emphasized that criticism is part of the sport and that his legacy means people will always judge his choices more harshly
17:26His comments struck a reflective tone
17:28Suggesting that he's aware the fight blurred the lines between entertainment and competition and that fans are justified in questioning it
17:352026 maybe against a javonte davis a ryan garcia
17:40Who knows?
17:42Eddie, I want to follow with you because when this fight was first announced you had said something to the effect of this would end jake paul's career
17:49After what you saw tonight. Do you think that jake should continue to box?
17:53So what do you think the future holds? Yeah, I really take my hat off. I mean, we have to see
17:57If it is a broken jaw, those injuries are very difficult to come back from
18:01But as aj said like that that last shot would have knocked out a lot of heavyweights
18:06And I know he went down heavy, but you know
18:08He he was conscious on the floor
18:12Um, and I thought his game plan although obviously very negative early on which it had to be
18:17Was you know, was was smart at times and there were times where he held his feet and let his hands go
18:22You know, it was a very one-sided fight. It was always going to be a one-sided fight
18:25But you had you can't you know, you can't give him anything but credit and respect
18:29There's a lot of negative people out there. There's a lot of people who want to criticize people
18:34They're not doing what jake paul's done. He just went in with anthony joshua
18:37And and gave it his best shot took a lot of punishment and ended the fight eventually on his feet
18:43Eddie um, aj's won six rounds. He kind of dismantled him. He took his time. How do you see it?
18:50Yeah, it was a frustrating
18:51Two three rounds maybe because jake was moving so much holding it did well
18:56I thought I mean, I was impressed with him
18:58I mean, I was more impressed with his toughness
19:00Because I think that last shot would have knocked out most heavyweights
19:03I mean, I broke his jaw. Yeah, I know it knocked him out, but he was not unconscious
19:08You know, I mean, you know
19:09He may not come back from if he has broken his jaw
19:11It's a big injury to come back
19:12Well, there's pictures of him in hospital right now
19:14Well, listen, you've got to respect him because he did what people many people wouldn't do which was get in the ring with him
19:19And you know, it didn't I know he run and hold but he also let his hands go at times and he was in the firing line
19:25And you know, we got six good rounds in the end of actual work
19:29Is that how you see it in the end?
19:29I actually think it's a it's a positive because
19:32You know, we could have gone in there and got it all over with 45 seconds
19:35He's done an eight-week camp and now he's done six rounds
19:38He's got something to go back on work on with a team and onwards and upwards for a big 2026
19:43What do you think was this a real fight or a scripted spectacle drop your thoughts in the comments?
