Jake Paul waited forever to fight the British professional boxer Tommy Fury. ‘The Problem Child’ failed to organize a proper boxing match between the two on two separate occasions in the past. Therefore, many fans felt skeptical about their possible meeting in the future. But, UFC Veteran Chael Sonnen thinks that Paul is being taken for granted in the boxing community. The fans lost their will to support the Youtuber, and an increased amount of haters are out to get him down at every turn. So, the question remains, will Paul or Fury pull out of their possible match?

The Problem Child needs to re-evaluate his company

Jake Paul recently signed a multi-year contract with PFL to establish a ‘Super Fight League’. But, many UFC veterans saw the financial disparity the concept of a ‘Super League’ brings to other divisions. However, the Youtuber-turned-Boxer is completely right to pursue his interest in MMA.

Therefore, Sonnen explained why Jake Paul faces constant criticism, despite his efforts.

“I also think that he (Jake Paul) should be rewarded when he does do that stuff… Anybody else would be”

“And when he goes out and gets something done, including if he goes here against (Tommy Fury) and he beats him…he’s not going to get the credit, he’s not going to get the pat on the back.”

Therefore, the American gangster believes Jake Paul needs a new team of advisors to strategize his career, going forward. Especially since his low image among boxing fans.
