''Like there is no point in this fight other than profit. No value to this because realistically they wouldn't fight each other professionally at such a difference in weight classes.''

Other fans wrote:

''Clown show, Tank knows he makes big money not taking risky fights since his delusional fans dick suck him, that’s why he hasn’t fought elite comp''

''Wow, an exhibition, no wonder you’re suing people who say you ain’t a real fighter. You can’t even face the facts and be a man to put this as a professional bout cause you know he’ll whoop you all day long''

Jake Paul issues a strong warning to Gervonta Davis

Ahead of their exhibition boxing contest later this year, Jake Paul spoke to ESPN and targeted Gervonta Davis with harsh remarks:

''Gervonta is an angry little elf who has been disrespecting my name for too long. His nickname might be Tank, but I'm an FPV drone and I'm about to disable his ass. Yes, he is one of the top pound-for-pound boxers in the world, but my motto is anyone, anytime, anyplace, against all odds. And I like my odds. First, I am going to kill David, then I will go on to slaughter Goliath, and you are all going watch me do it, breaking viewership records again. Atlanta. Friday, Nov 14th. The worst night of Gervonta's career, live only on Netflix."
