MIKE allowed himself to be used by this CAC

He made 300-400 million

He shouldn't have to fight at 58 for 20 million.

The blame is on him (and Don King etc).

Can he beat the 20th ranked fighter of any division that he fights in? After all these fights we still dont know what level he is on...is he a championship caliber fighter, a contender, journeyman level?...who the fuck knows?

He lost to the only real boxer he faced and that dude wasn't special

Boxing's disrespect of its own sport through the years led to this even being possible

that $20mil number is an internet made up figure, Tyson's minimum to get in the ring vs anyone is $25mil and he got at least $30mil for this maybe up to $40mil

We know exactly what level Jake's on. He couldn't knockout a 60 year old with one knee and no legs who thought his boxing gloves were bubble gum.

We all know that Jake would get the shit beat outta him if fought a real ranked boxer.

We all know that he'll continue to do these Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus events that'll continue to make money until he no longer can.

He just needs enough interest where the public "Thinks" that he might lose.

In short, Jake's the Harlem Globetrotter of boxing.

Jake is one hell of a businessman, but he may start believing his own hype and end up like Toro Moreno in the movie.
The Harder They Fall (1956 film) Unknown to Morena an Argentine Heavyweight boxer all of his fights were fixed.
Then when he finally had a real fight he got his ass whopped and was betrayed by his promoter. Great Movie
Some of my facts may be off, check the Wiki above.

Jake may wake up one morning and schedule a real fight with a real boxing champion.
I would pay to see that and I think Jake would have a chance.

I agree, he might be buying into his own hype. Especially because he's mentioned wanting to fight Canelo a couple of times before.

He hesitated a bit yesterday, but he might actually be starting to think that he could hang with real boxers. Which would be a mistake.

Now Jake's worked and trained and worked hard to get to the level of boxing skill that he has now. Be we all know that he's not ready to fight a highly skilled boxer which is why he isn't fighting one.
