He’s basically said if I wasn’t a YouTube kid and I was just a young boxing prospect beating all of these people, everyone would be like what the f**k, this kid can punch like he can knock people out. This is going to be a world champion. But for some reason, they just say, oh it’s fake. Fights are rigged. And I even see people say, oh Jake is paying Joe Rogan to say that.”
