The Ryan Garcia and Jake Paul feud
This online feud has been going on for a while now. It picked up some heat after Garcia offered to fight Paul on the undercard of Jake Paul’s older brother Logan Paul and the semi-retired undefeated pro-boxer, Floyd Mayweather.
After a back and forth online, Garcia got the contract signed by Paul himself, apparently taking their feud to the next level. It seems like after celebrities engaging in boxing matches, pro-boxers getting in the ring with celebrities is the new trend.
With Ryan Garcia (20-0, 17 KOs) being a pro-boxer and Jake Paul having just one pro-fight under his belt, the fight really makes little sense. But if it happens, it surely will bring a lot of attention and guaranteed financial profit.
Now, coming to the video, it seems the two are trying their best to sell the fight as a bad-blood story. But the lack of genuineness in the video makes us hard to believe them. Also, there seems to be no apparent reason for it than garnering the fans’ attention.
A couple of months ago, both the Paul brothers were seen doing the “Body Shot Challenge” with Garcia. Jake and Ryan seemed to have no animosity towards the other till that point.
But it is understandable that friendships don’t sell fights, rivalries do. Therefore, the two have played it out in front of the camera for the big bucks. But with the obvious camera settings and cringeworthy acting, it is hard to think it will fool anyone.
