Why are we as a society elevating a nepo baby who isn’t even good at boxing as a boxer? Did every boxing fan just collectively decide “my sport should now be trash”????

My take: Boxing fans were a dying breed, especially after UFC took off. Jake Paul has a following of younger people who are getting into boxing through him. They are desperate for more viewers and these events are cash cows so they're more than happy to oblige.
