Paul vs joshua

obv the millions he gets for doing it

yeh, but he get the money anyway. The getting hit by 100% heavyweight punches is a different question.

Hes on hols so I will answer instead R

Dont know. I am looking to have 3/4 of my bank on AJ (£21) but will wait until I have consulted my dear friend M who was a boxer himself

As with Moneyweather and McGregor this is a nonsense but I vaguely recall having a chunk (£27.99) on Money at a daft price, ie too big despite being well under 1/10, but I cannot be sure

You believe AJ has been ordered to pull his punches, and agreed to do so?

The fight has only been agreed with the money involved because it will be to whatever narrative the promoters want. Thats not too difficult to understand is it? If this were a genuine fight the prize would be about 100$ as its a non contest! You'll be telling me soon that you believe WWF was real

walofs...promoters will have little say..the directives will have come from Netflix head office.

Take your pick as anything can happen in these match ups.

Are Netflix not considered a promoter in this? They would have approached both camps with their idea...

Not only is it going to be a fix but you know how it's going to be fixed.


What a golden opportunity for the forum know-alls to make a killing.

Please post you're bets BEFORE the start so we can see how confident
you have in you're theories.

For Netflix to make money from this then they need a lot of new subscribers. They’ve then got to hope that they stay subscribed for longer than a month.
This feels more like a gimmick on their behalf rather than a money maker. You’d need 1m new subscribers to get £5m.

Most households already have Netflix. It’s not like your standard PPV where every viewer at home has to pay to see the fight. 300m of us can watch it without paying an extra penny.

have you seen liquidity lately? There wont be more than a monkey in the market

its 'YOUR'  ewe dix lex sick tatey.

You're correct Rico... My mistake.

See how easy it is to admit to being wrong.

You should try it sometime.

respect.

Many commentators saying the best result is that Paul doesn't get seriously hurt. I disagree as if he does it should put this silly influencer boxing tosh to bed for good - literally! There are hundreds of these people going round low rent boxing shows around the americas buying fights and kidding themselves into thinking they can box. One has def died and a few have been seriously injured so far i think but not high profile.....

They don’t really care how many get punched drunk or pay the ultimate it’s all about greed….

Just like the circus on the Thames watching countless uk citizens getting slain at bus stops and walking the dog…

No one cares any more…..

How many boxers have died in the ring,or ended up in a wheelchair ?

Just like fatalities in horse racing it’s soon forgotten…

hundreds killed most days in cars..still making them..

I agree if consenting adults want to engage, that's up to them. Same discussion we had a little while back on here about jockeys who get injured. No one is forced to.

But, having said that about boxing, I think more pertinent is 4.6 for first round KO here, and the lumpy sums all seem to still be the layers for that to happen...tells a story about this one.

I will be watching this fight too. I won't be paying any extra, as I'm already a Netflix subscriber and it's free on Netflix.

But I am slightly interested to see how it plays out - will be amazed (and a bit poorer) to see Paul get seriously hit and KOd first round.

Decided I'm not getting involved. Ultimately it is a sideshow. A gimmick fight.

taken long to deduce this?

I'm not disagreeing at all - but, just out of interest, what is the view of the fight that Paul lost (v Fury)?

Surely that wasn't a set up fight, or why would he have lost it?

2 average light heavyweights.

Yeh, but if he was actually 'setting up' every fight, wouldn't he have arranged to win that one too somehow?

Maybe just me, IMO Paul done Fury, at worst a draw. Regarding this, unless a fix. as someone already said 1.01 Joshua.

Yes and no Rico. At the time of writing this 13% ROI is "supreme value". Decided I'm not wagering a substantial amount of my bankroll on a pantomime. I agree with some on this thread that a portion of this fight is predetermined & therefore compromised. For example, I do think that it's more than likely they'll be no Joshua KO Paul 1st round for obvious reasons. And if I believe that to be true then what else within the fight also has no integrity. Two average light heavyweights is being kind. They're barely area level let alone British or European.

A training bag and a pumped up average with a glass jaw….unwatchable..

He can be beaten Joshua as we know, but watch all videos of his KOs and he certainly isn't really 'average' at punching/KOs (even against other top heavies)

4/1 for a first round KO by Josh on here now - and I wouldn't touch it.

the pro's have lissened to rico.

#fact

Laid first round at 4.3 earlier on, as you said.

My average, but missed some of the earlier very short ones!

How much you got against the R1 KO rico?

as of now..nixi.

Thought you were laying it earlier..?

Joshua is free money. There's people incorrectly pricing in the **** possibility which is imo, zero. Joshua has a fight vs Fury I'm saudi in the pipeline which if beaten by Paul would cost him a small fortune. Also similar to Mayweather, Joshua has a reputation and enough money to turn down any offers of taking a knee. Just don't bother trying to second guess how it gets scripted, back him to win and collect the free money

dont wanna tie my funds up stu..need for the nags.

poast ya big bet bassey.

Just an opinion. As previously stated, I do not need validation from anonymous people on a internet forum.

neether do forumites with ya fantasy wagers.

You should look up the actual definition of a forum Rico. You seem to be in some sort of psychosis where you think this place is for you to hold court.

i out the wofflers..pretty efficient at it.

Just chill out mate and let people chat. HTH

pretty efficient at it.


Absolute expert at everything including outing wofflers

ty..respect.

RP boxing expert sez best value is josh 8/5 1st 2 round stoppage...says 1/8 to win isnt vall yew.

Sad world letting this take place imv…..

Should be held in Rome, serve the gouls pints of bulls blood for refreshments…..

watts you're pree díck shun ,dave?

Glass jaw should be 1.01…..

The YouTube individual any price…..

Dread to think anything bad happening here,the greed men wouldn’t bat an eye tbh….

Plenty crocodile garbage in front of the camera followed by a good night sleep…..leeches imv…

eye conquer...imo 1/8 a 1.01 chance...but its a showbiz pantomine.

Almost as vomit inducing as Tyson v Larry Holmes….dreadful scenes tbf…

least they were both trying.

Dutched AJ R3 R4 at 5.0 with a saver R5. Can't see him agreeing to go any further than that.

im happy to lay 1000/4000 josh 1st round..more than happy to have 10k 1.13 josh wins.

but,int staying up till 5am and if went to bed would wake up in a cold sewat.

I never realised it was scheduled for about 4am. Thought it was 10pm.

I certainly won’t be staying up to watch it. I may be up before it’s finished though!

had a small bet  the draw at 48 just for an interest !

Joshua must have agreed to do him no damage, where Joshua could win back public support and save boxing in the process is to go out there in round 1 and say to Paul, "you know when I promised not to hurt you, well, I lied" a bit like Arnie in Commando and immediately proceed to knock him into the middle of next week.

If anything is 'agreed' before this fight, no way we will ever know about it - that would have been firmly behind closed doors.

I would imagine, in very early talks that took place when fight is first discussed among the parties.

AJ going nowhere via the heavyweight scene. If he were to box clever there could be a rematch or a trilogy out of this, wouldn't put it past the organ grinders

70 mill apparently for josh...

for a 20 min panto.

He’s a genius!

Not exactly bad money to 'fight' against someone who couldn't really do him too much damage if he just let him hit him!

Any other mugs up at this time of day to watch?

He's taken a pasting once he stopped trying to run around and actually engage in a fight.

A damp squib!

AJ barely trying until round 5 where he dipped into first gear, Jake Paul not engaging, round 6. The perfect script really. A lot of money done on the KO first two rounds up in smoke.

well done rico son,called it perfectly.

ty.

these circus acts never end early...lay joshua 1st round Ko till your nose bleeds.

Rico-Dangleflaps 14 Dec 25 15:59 
1.12 supreme value..wont end early imo but nay way josh gona throw a cabaret show.

The Boxing Pantomine 2025

Nakisa Bidarian to Eddie Hearn..rite eddie heres the dance,netflix gona pay us 100 mill to put on a charade Jake v Josh..now we nahs that josh could blast jake out the ring in the 1st round but net time netflix put a charade on nee one gana buy the fckn fight..sew,tell josh to just jump about for the 1st half of the fight and i'll get the ref to stop it later on.

Eddie > Naki...nee bosh wor kid..sorted.

A complete embarrassment for all concerned - other than the money men obv. Pauls 'tactics' of running round the ring for 8 rounds was always going to be the case but he looked knackered after 3 rounds (and had hardly been hit) so he couldn't even be arsed to train hard enough to do that. Josh just got paid tens of mill for a sheet sparing session!

Which is why Rico was right tbf.

Rico called it. Was 1.18 just before kickoff.

1.18 never? was it ffs

Two drunken men brawling in a bar…..the so called boxer should be ashamed……

Bring on the gypsy….

Not sure how low the draw went but I saw 12 for it in play.

well done rico and other winners

Definitely touched 1.2 in running .

Very happy with my single punt on this one - laid R1 KO and that was enough to do for this one, betting wise.

Paul took a fairly nice punch to finish it TBF to him. He's a top business man, so I won't knock him for doing what he does.

Drifted out to 1.19 for small money before the off. Huge money matched up to 1.18 as all the late money was for Paul and the draw, plenty of his fanboys having a punt probably. There was much more liquidity for this fight than most proper big fights at this time of night.

Joshua should be ashamed of himself

nah nanny..great business innit..£70,000,000.

Yep , Jake spent more time on the Deck , Joshua had to avoid falling over him

Did this guy really beat 60 yo Mike Tyson or have I got myself confused?

The Very Man

If you think Josh didn't hit him enough here, he hit him way harder than Tyson did

LoyalHoncho 20 Dec 25 14:33

was the Easter panto.

Tyson didn't really have much to lose at his advanced age and everyone knew it was just an exhibition fight and he was there for a big pay day. If Joshua had lost to this clown whilst still competing at the highest level, his legacy would have been completely tarnished forever more.

Ok, ta.

Comedy Show STU , he did hit a Couple of times How many punches did he Miss , All about the Moneys

Great payday for Pub Boxing

Richard Dunn would have beaten the poor pro …..

DUNN V BUGNER  , Dunn Told Joe he had a Picture of him in His toilet pot , Joe nearly Killed Him

They'll get boxing banded with sh1te like this.

Not sure why folk pay so much to watch

I'd fight the mug for those monets (not Joshua)

Jakes Jaw Broken in two places ,his response after the hit , was WOW

Someone will end up dead in one of these shams

----you-have-to-laugh--- 20 Dec 25 23:46 
They'll get boxing banded with sh1te like this.  > ewe khan have 1,000,000/1

Not sure why folk pay so much to watch.. >  the general public are very naive..fool & their munnee et al.

how have WWE promoters made zillions?

WWE is stage managed, and don't forget the Rocky films
made millions too.

I watched a bit of the wrestling when the rock was
strutting his stuff and it was very entertaining, and
although scripted and contrived still enjoyable.

No surprise to see so many wrestlers from that era
step across into Hollywood films with quite alot
of success.

did ewe get an Eric Shone at the sight of rocks bulge?

Lol, not really where I was looking

respect.
