Fans react to Eddie Hearn exposing Jake Paul to his face
Unsurprisingly, following Hearn’s comments about Paul, fans were quick to voice their opinions. One fan fully supported Eddie Hearn stating he did nothing wrong and if Jake Paul wants to be a boxer, he should fight a boxer.
Nothing Eddie said was wrong. Not what Jake wanted to hear as it doesn’t help his promotion, but Eddie knows his stuff. He’s not wrong! Fight a boxer if you want to be a boxer!

This fan, in particular, justified Paul fighting Tyron Woodley by illustrating the UFC fighter’s skills.
Woodley is a decent striker but a wrestler first and foremost. With guys like that you can't ignore the way they will use the threat of shooting for a takedown as part of their striking as well as kicking and clinchwork for all MMA fighters.

Another fan had an interesting way of showing his support for Paul as they stated it would be foolish of the YouTuber to fight actual boxers.
Would make zero sense for Jake to start fighting actual fighters. Makes so much from these gimmick fights can't hate on it
