As opposed to those a little downhearted at Jake Paul repeatedly squaring off against MMA hits in boxing and embracing the dignity of a boxer in the sport, Joe Rogan is full of admiration considering what Paul is doing to benefit from the market of combat sports. Even though he is only 25, Paul is seriously getting noticed because of his treatment of boxing. Where others trace irritation and a test in the face of time, Rogan spots intelligence that results in a win.
In a recent episode of JRE, guest Joaquin Buckley and host Rogan talked about Jake Paul making it ‘big’ with boxing. Buckley mourned Silva’s recent loss to ‘The Problem Child’ and expressed his discomfort at Paul squaring off against MMA fighters in the boxing ring. He said, “Anderson Silva, man, he broke my heart when he lost to Jake Paul. You got this little kid and he’s doing his thing, right? He’s an athlete, he’s working on his style of fighting when it comes to boxing. At the end of the day, it’s still, he picking at every MMA hit, right?”

Having expressed his uneasiness concerning ‘The Problem Child‘, Buckley addressed who would potentially be Paul’s next big fight. They spoke about none other than the controversial kickboxer, Andrew Tate. At this, Rogan reacted by describing how he loved what Paul was doing and how it resulted in a win. After Tyron Woodley, Ben Askren, and Anderson Silva, who was going to be next?
Rogan responded by saying, “Andrew Tate. They just faced off.” According to Buckley, although Paul earlier spoke about facing Nate Diaz in the ring, he would now face Tate.

While others expressed disturbance at how Paul took names of world-class fighters who once graced the cage or ring, Rogan recognized a winner who was brash, hilarious and receiving attention enough to promote himself and his fights. “It helps him get attention. I love what he’s doing. What he’s doing is very intelligent. The promotions [are] off the chart. He’s hilarious, he’s brash, and he’s winning,” Rogan added by saying.
Speaking of legendary fighters who ever walked the cage or shined in the ring, Paul recently desired to fight ‘TBE’. According to him, even at 45, Mayweather was a “massive draw” in the sport of boxing and guaranteed a commendable PPV.
