    No.

    In order for that to happen it has to be rigged.

    Even if it wasn't, AJ hasn't been in top form for years. Knocked out cold against Dubois, battered by the Snickers Kid and schooled by Usyk twice.

    Yes it would.

    Will it happen though? No.

    And with that, Matchroom deside Paul is the right 'low key tune-up' before two big nights next year.

    I suspect rather than the money, they're banking on Fury getting jealous of AJ's exposure (given his own Netflix show coming up) and it wouldn't surprise me in the least for Tommy and Tyson to show up on the night. Paul vs Tommy on the undercard of a Fury-AJ Netflix show.

    I see no way in hell that Jake Paul steps into the ring with AJ for a real fight

    I've heard AJ has been offered close to 100 mil for the fight.

    Depending what our Chancellor or Trump says next, $100m isn't far off £70m, could both be true :)

    'A big fight planned for February' ??

    Hearn shooting from the lip again.

    He has repeatedly claimed it would be 'a walk out fight end of 2025 or start of 2026 followed by a roll-the-dice fight later next year.'

    Now with the talks with Paul resuming, magically there is a 'big fight planned for February.'

    Calling bull**** Eddie.

    Would any of you accept 50+ million to step in the ring with AJ win or lose? Maybe it's as simple as that for Jake if he's really willing to do this.

    Cash out say he "beat boxing" and go back to making youtube video after robbing boxing for 4 years straight.

    Hardly a trick question. Who wouldn't? Rich for life money in return for a one round beating? Sign me up!

    My point. Which is why it's not hard to believe Jake would take the fight. Everyone has the right number in mind to do most anything.

    Totally agree.

    It's the money involved in a Paul fight that's putting the twinkle in Hearn's eye. He wouldn't have been keen for it when Joshua was chasing legacy but he knows those days are over.

    100% I would, the whole Jake may die stuff is abit over the top... most likely outcome would be AJ one punch KOing him.. death is highly unlikely.

    We'd potentially see him being taken to the hospital after, but no, not death, not likely at all. It's actually much better for Jake's sake for AJ to take him out early and not sustain damage over multiple rounds. I hope that is conveyed to him.
