Why are we as a society elevating a nepo baby who isn’t even good at boxing as a boxer? Did every boxing fan just collectively decide “my sport should now be trash”????

Have you seen USA voters lately? I think the answer is yes.
It’s no better in Canada tbh. We’re about to give a supermajority to a populist and there are houses on my street (in Atlantic canada) with trump flags. I just like to pretend that I’m living in a world with smart people. It makes me feel better.
Meanwhile, I'm actively looking to apply for citizenship somewhere in the EU.
I’ve got EU citizenship but I’m also visibly Jewish and don’t want to get chased down and roughed up because someone thinks I support genocide :/
My take: Boxing fans were a dying breed, especially after UFC took off. Jake Paul has a following of younger people who are getting into boxing through him. They are desperate for more viewers and these events are cash cows so they're more than happy to oblige.
Anybody who watched and especially put money into this, shame on you! These people would die if we just stopped feeding their bullshit!
He should fight Canelo next.
