I love the way that he stepped in as a famous guy to do something he wanted to do. You’re a YouTube star and you transition those fans and you pivot over to boxing.”
“That doesn’t just happen because you have 20 million followers there is an art to that. That’s where Jake Paul should credit his ability to bring people along the journey. That is Jake Paul’s life. And for them to not care what genre you’re going into, that is an art like no other if you wanna study Jake Paul. That’s what you wanna study.”

If everybody goes to 8 rounds. You have to make sure that you give Paul credit for this is. He’s changing the sport and Paul should never go back!”
