Jake Paul Quotes
On what goes through his mind when he thinks of vintage Mike: “Yeah, it’s cute. I fear no man. So I want him to be that old savage Mike. He says he’s going to kill me. I’m ready. I want that killer. I want the hardest match possible Friday night, and I want there to be no excuses from everyone at home when I knock him out.”
On what Paul vs. Tyson being a professional fight means to boxing: “Well, the people speak for themselves. I don’t even have to ask them. [This is the] biggest live gate in US boxing history outside of Las Vegas. Numbers don’t lie. People want to see this and that’s an amazing accomplishment. Credit to Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano and Mike and everyone on the card as well. […] We all did this together, and this is a statement that we had the biggest live gate outside of Vegas in US boxing history.”
On Mike’s claims that he’s a natural-born killer and Jake is a manufactured killer: “Whatever he wants to think. Everyone’s entitled to their opinion, but the deadliest weapon on the planet is manufactured and that’s a nuke.”
On whether there’s any chance the fight goes to a decision: “No, someone’s getting put to sleep. It’s going to be a war and we’re both heavy hitters. It’s not going the full 16 minutes.”
On his critics: “I’m blessed to be in the position I am, to be highly criticized. That just means I’m doing something right. No one has had a boxing career like mine. It’ll be studied and judged, but I’ve risen to the top in four years because I’ve taken risks. I was the underdog all the way up until Nate Robinson and that’s something that people don’t remember [and] don’t give any credit to, but I put it on the line against some of the best in the sport every single time. That’s why I’m here on Netflix against the biggest name in boxing right now.”
On if he thinks Mike will bite his ear: “I’m not getting my shit bit off on Friday night, so I got my diamond spiked ear covers right there.”
