‘Homeless People in LA Looking More Fresh Than’ Jake Paul: Presenting Monday Night Football on ESPN Draws Scathing Response From Boxing World

The Denver Broncos secured a thrilling 41-32 victory over the Cleveland Browns on Monday, getting one step closer to their spot in the NFL playoffs. But before the game, Jake Paul stirred up buzz by announcing on social media that he would be presenting Monday Night Football on ESPN. Unsurprisingly, fans had plenty to say about Paul’s unexpected role.

Jake Paul is riding high after his unanimous decision victory over legendary boxer Mike Tyson last month in Texas, a bout that streamed live on Netflix. Since then, ‘The Problem Child’ has been dominating headlines, with a growing list of fighters challenging the Cleveland native to step into the ring. While speculation swirls about his next opponent, Paul’s recent involvement with Monday Night Football has sparked significant criticism from fans.

Cleveland Browns lose as Paul gets involved with MNF

Turning to Instagram, Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions wrote, “Jake Paul presents Monday Night Football on ESPN…👀🏈,” while sharing a clip to promote the announcement. Meanwhile, on the field, the Denver Broncos pulled off a hard-fought win against the Cleveland Browns despite allowing an astonishing 497 passing yards from quarterback Jameis Winston.

The Broncos capitalized on game-changing plays, including pick-sixes by linebacker Nik Bonitto and nickel corner Ja’Quan McMillian. Rookie quarterback Bo Nix also delivered a standout moment with a jaw-dropping 93-yard touchdown pass to Marvin Mims Jr., securing Denver’s victory in a high-stakes matchup.

Regardless, fans wasted no time reacting to the Instagram post, flooding the comment section with a mix of excitement, skepticism, and criticism.

Fan hopes Jake Paul doesn’t start playing in the NFL

The announcement came as somewhat of a surprise, but the reactions from fans—not so much. One user outright insulted Paul. “You have homeless people in LA looking more fresh than this dude all that money and he cant take time to take care of himself,” the user wrote. Notably, Paul himself is a Cleveland native, but his support didn’t help his team secure the win.

The next user highlighted the obvious. “Cleveland lost too,” the user wrote. It’s worth noting that in 2022, Jake Paul signed a contract with Cleveland Browns, and joined the NFL franchise’s social media team.

Meanwhile, this user suggested people can hate him all they want, but the reality is he is doing big things. “Can hate em all u want he doin big things,” the user wrote. His fight and win over Mike Tyson is among those achievements. 

Someone else gave a new nickname to ‘The Problem Child.’ “You mean Fake Paul,” the user wrote. Notably, there were allegations that the Tyson fight was staged, but there is no evidence to support these claims.

Another user put forth their concerns with Paul’s involvement with the NFL. “I hope he’s not planning to play football,” the user wrote. However, with the kind of fame Paul has gathered in boxing, it’s unlikely he would want to move to a different sport. 

That said, it appears despite Jake Paul getting involved with MNF, fans didn’t quite like the update. However, the bigger question is, what did you think about it? Did you watch the game?
