“Jake and Logan Paul — And The Great White American Hype”

People love them. One is more gregarious than the other — brothers — every day, American white jocks — with one exception. You cannot hate on how they got here — especially Jake Paul.

How do they make money? Well, YouTube is a thing that I would just drop on an alien’s lap, via any number of $1,200 cell phones, type their name in the search bar, and click on a video, any video.

Boxing is as classic of an American sport as you’ll ever see. The Sweet Science is a technical war, based on the balance of finesse, power, and speed. Many men have stood in the center of the ‘squared circle,’ dancing a masterpiece upon canvas as spit and blood spew from courageous master pugilist who refuses to quit. Men have literally died for their life within thirty-six minutes of stepping between the ropes. The biggest stars come out. And no FBI, since they stopped wearing those stupid chinchillas — but there’s always been a fascination with perhaps, the deadliest sport (legal). And perhaps, something that had become less popular, and partially because of what Stephen A. Smith alluded to about the MLB.

We could go into a long and drawn-out list and reasons why certain boxers would annihilate the Paul boys without much caring, nor breaking a sweat — but we’ll save that for the comments sections that will spawn from this. But, Canelo? Nigga what?
