Jake Paul Snubs Canelo Alvarez to Give the Ultimate “Showman” Crown to Rival Conor McGregor

Jake Paul describes his faith in his ability to face the most formidable foes as “delusional optimism.” The Youtuber who took up boxing has emerged as a prominent figure in the world of celebrity boxing. The enthusiastic fighter gained notoriety in just two years of his boxing career. Let’s take a look at what he has to say about his biggest opponents.

While talking on the MMAFightingonSBN show, Paul described his thoughts about fighting Conor McGregor. He said, “For me fighting a couple more times, continuing to knock some people out and he has to get active again. You know, who knows when that’s going to happen. So, I think those two things need to happen, and then at some point it’s gonna happen. You know, why not, he’s a businessman, I’m a businessman, and that’s you know 75-100 million dollars for both of us.” 

The host further asked him, “Which impossible dream would mean more? Conor or Canelo?”

To which Paul replied, “I think Conor and I would be way more exciting, way more electric. I think we are both, you know, more of a showman than Canelo.”
