Jake Paul would be ‘like the C-side’ in boxing match

Now that Jake Paul is not undefeated, Jorge Masvidal doesn’t view him as a profitable struggle.

Paul previously called out Masvidal in 2021, however “Gamebred” thought the offer wasn’t worthy on the time. Masvidal and Paul, who as soon as educated collectively earlier than Paul’s struggle with Ben Askren, have jawed backwards and forwards on a possible boxing match up to now. However after Paul suffered his first-career loss, a split decision to Tommy Fury in February, Masvidal isn’t that anymore.

“Proper now there’s no person that I may actually consider to name out,” Masvidal informed MMA Junkie Radio. “However they already burst that bubble simply because I at all times thought it could be an awesome struggle for me, and that I may knock him out and make quite a lot of simple cash whereas doing it, would have been Jake Paul. However that ship has sailed now that he misplaced that 0. Possibly he comes again and will get a few wins and stuff, however that’s in all probability the one dude as a result of he’s simple cash.

“I don’t assume I used to be going to generate an enormous pay-per-view promote with him, as a result of he doesn’t convey these kinds of pay-per-views. However me being concerned in boxing, who is aware of? Possibly I may have executed properly for myself and gotten some good pay-per-views.”

Whereas he might not enter a hoop anytime quickly, Masvidal’s involvement in boxing on the promotion aspect continues. His Gamebred Boxing will holds its fourth present on April 1 on the Fiserv Discussion board in Milwaukee when former UFC champ Anthony Pettis meets boxing legend Roy Jones Jr. in thenight’s headliner.

Masvidal mentioned he’d prefer to get his ft moist earlier than boxing any established fighters, however for him, Paul doesn’t even meet the quota of a cash struggle.

“When he fought Woodley, when he fought Ben Askren, he hasn’t hit these marks that he thinks or that his individuals assume he’s gonna hit,” Masvidal mentioned. “So he’s not the draw, undoubtedly. He’d be just like the C-side. I’m just like the A+-side if we’re speaking about promoting pay-per-views.”

Masvidal (35-16 MMA, 12-9 UFC) returns to motion on April 8 when he meets Gilbert Burns within the UFC 287 co-headliner in Miami.
