Someone somewhere has to give Jake Paul this. He’s jovial. Some might think he’s rude, or mildly amusing, but there’s no doubt the rising social media star and up-and-coming boxer knows how to sell a fight through channels. wall advertising tactics. For example, on Monday morning, when Paul released a goofy video to downplay the opposition as well as draw attention to his August 6 fight with Hasim Rahman Jr. In the said video, Paul lies on a hospital bed, tubes and monitors. attached to his body.
“So guys,” Paul said to the camera. “I was in the hospital. I had an accident.” He then confirmed he would still be fighting Rahman in their scheduled pay-per-view event at Madison Square Garden in a few weeks. “I’ll still be able to fight on August 6,” he said, “so get your tickets at msg.com before they sell out. But I broke my back while promoting the event. . It’s broken.” Paul then completely went above and beyond by calling a “nurse” in a thin coat to help him.
“Nurse, nurse!” He shouted. “More morphine! I broke my back carrying the promotion of the last five games. My competitors never sell crap. Ah it hurts! Do something! That’s hurt! ” Paul then finished things off with a vertical fixation. “These bastards never sell crap!” he said in conclusion. “They can’t sell a pen to a writer!”
Although boxing is indeed the most serious endeavor, one where opponents can – and have – be seriously injured and even killed, a humorous approach can often prove useful for selling an event. And Paul certainly knows how to sell one. Like boxers before him like Muhammad Ali and even Conor McGregor, Paul is acutely aware of the fact that seemingly absurd antics can be of great benefit. He may not be near the level of a great boxer, but Paul has insight into what makes a fight financially successful.
However, it will take more than skill for Paul to be the best Rahman Jr in August. The son of former heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman Sr is a professional boxer, with many years of seniority. It’s one of the things that separates him from all of Paul’s previous opponents, who – although some are former MMA stars – had virtually no ring experience prior to entering a boxing match. professional brother. That’s another thing about Paul – he seems willing to take risks. His sense of humor may not be for everyone, but no one can argue that he has no guts.
