- The Joe Rogan Experience.
- Well, this is what's going on right now
where a bunch of fighters are upset
because Logan Paul and Floyd Mayweather just fought,
and Logan Paul made 20 million bucks,
and Floyd Mayweather made 100 million bucks,
and they're looking at this like, hey, what about me?
Like, how come I'm not making that kind of money?
And I think what they have to understand is,
whether you like it or not,
even if you are an elite, the elite of the elite,
a Kamaru Usman or, you know, pick any style bender,
some of the best fighters in the UFC,
even the lead of the elite.
The money comes from people wanting to buy your pay-per-view.
It's real simple. - Yeah.
- It shouldn't maybe, you know, maybe in a perfect world,
it's the most skillful fighter,
gets the most amount of money,
but that's not how it works here.
In the world of combat sports, professional prize fighting,
it's all about how many eyes are gonna watch you,
and that fucking Logan Paul kid has a lot of eyes on him.
He's had a YouTube channel since he was 14 years old,
he's been on Disney shows, he's this
controversial, larger than life, you know, internet celebrity.
And people are willing to pay a lot of money to see if he can box with
literally one of the greatest fighters that's ever lived in Floyd Mayweather.
- Hey, look, I'm not mad at it.
- I'm not mad at it either. - Yeah.
- And you know what? The best fighters and some of the best fighters to ever
fight, Lennox Lewis, Andre Ward,
the guys that I had the honor of representing, you never hear out of these
elites, that they're pissed, like good for them.
Because I think that they get on a fundamental level, that as human beings, we
unfortunately, we're hardwired to watch the train wreck, we want to see carnage.
- We want to see a freak show too. - And we want, it is a freak show.
- That was a freak show. - It's a circus, I was looking forward to it.
I really was. I was so excited before the bell rang for the first round.
- It's like going to the circus, almost. - It's like a dude wrestled a bear.
- I mean-- - Can he wrestle a bear?
- You know what it reminded me of? It reminded me of when Rocky fought Hulk Hogan
in one of the Rocky movies.
- Well, the thing, the difference though, is that Floyd, first of all, you
gotta give credit to Floyd Mayweather for doing that.
Because it's so crazy to fight a guy 35 pounds heavier than you. That's so big.
- It looked like, he looked like he was fighting a giant. - Yeah.
- It was like, and to watch him, look, people have a lot of opinions about
Floyd Mayweather, what he does, how he spends his money.
Listen, the guy's brilliant in a lot of ways. He's tapped into something that
human beings want and want to see.
But I was watching him in the fight, the guy outweighs him by 40 pounds, and he's
walking to him, walking right to him with his hands up.
- Yeah, crazy. - I was like, listen, he is a badass.
And listen, the guy, the guy, Logan Paul, he's got balls to get in there and to
do that. How could you ever be mad at that?
I mean, you could take a step back and be like, "Oh God, what a society come to."
- Right. - I mean, it's come to watching the freak show.
- Yeah. It's come to watching the freak show. And maybe not just that, because
there were some professional fights on the undercard, but no one's talking
about those.
You know, it's just, the big fight was the freak show fight.
- And you want to know what? I think that this is going to continue until
somebody shuts these kids up.
And like, people want to see now, they want, I think it's the same sort of self-fulfilling
prophecy that Mayweather sort of tapped into.
It's like, I realized the more I run my mouth, the more I make people have an
emotion towards me.
- Yeah. - Love or hate, mostly hate, right? Mostly they're going to be pissed
at me.
They, now they want to tune in to see me lose. And that's just as valuable, if
not more valuable than wanting to tune.
So I think that on a, on a, um, he gets human behavior and human thinking more
than he gets credit for.
Um, I don't, you know, I'm not here to weigh in on his life or his lifestyle
because I'm, who am I?
I'm just another human being. But I think that same thing is happening with
these two.
People want to see them lose now and they realize how there's currency in that,
right?
- Yeah. No, there's a lot of currency in that. It's super valuable. People want
to see him get fucked up.
And you know, we were at the UFC recently and Jake Paul was in the audience and
the whole audience was chanting,
"Fuck Jake Paul. Fuck Jake Paul." And he was laughing and holding his camera up
and filming it and shit.
- And DC got in his face. - Yeah.
- Which I love to see. That was so cool. But it was like, then the story became,
Cormier confronts Paul.
And look, there's part of me that is like, you spend your life racking your
fucking brains. How do I make it in this world?
How am I going to support my family? What am I going to do to make a difference?
So there's a part of it that I get where people are like, and these two fucking
kids, what did they do?
What, how did they get famous? I don't know. They pissed people off.
- Yeah, but they got famous first. This is what's interesting.
They got famous first and then it turns out they can fight, especially Jake.
That kid can knock people the fuck out. He knows how to punch.
- Can he knock fighters out though? - Well, we don't know. I mean, we saw Askren,
right?
But Askren, first of all, coming off of a hip replacement surgery. It's a
brilliant move, right?
You get a guy who's arguably the worst striker in elite MMA, which is Ben Askren.
- Right, right. - And that's no disrespect to Ben Askren. He'd probably admit
to that.
- He's a wrestler, right? - Phenomenal wrestler, like elite wrestler.
Great guy. Not a good striker. You make him box. It's like the worst thing that
he does.
And then Jake Paul starches him with one punch. But he looked, you know, you
looked at his body.
He looked severely out of shape. He looked like he hadn't trained for a long
time and then kind
of got in good enough shape so he could compete. The guy knows how to fight. He
knows how to win.
But that's not his sport. It's not his sport at all. He just took a paycheck.
- I'd like to see this guy, Jake Paul, fight someone who is--
- Well, he's going to fight Tyron Woodley. - Well, after he fights, can Tyron
Woodley fight?
- Can he box? - Well, I know he can punch. He punches really hard. But he doesn't
punch like a boxer. He throws big bombs and sets up takedowns and, you know, he
can crack though.
With one shot, he could fuck anybody up. But the thing is like the way he
throws shots,
he'll throw like a bomb and then set up a takedown or set up a clinch. He's not
a guy who's like
going out there with peekaboo style, throwing jabs and hooks to the body. That's
not his style.
He's never been a guy who boxed. He's been a guy who uses boxing in MMA, but he
uses everything.
- Does Jake Paul beat him, you think? - Oh, we won't know until they get in
there.
The thing about it is he'll be the most dangerous guy that Jake's fought for,
sure.
- Now, if Jake Paul-- - Not even close. Not even close. And no one more
dangerous than Tyron Woodley.
- Well, if he beats an MMA fighter-- - Tyron's not just an MMA fighter. Tyron
is a multi-- he's
a UFC world champion and one of the best welterweights of all time. If you
looked at all the UFC welterweights
of all time, he's top three. He's fucking phenomenal. - But there is something
fundamentally different
about MMA fighters fighting a boxer. - Yeah, because there's other stuff that
you incorporate
into your movement, right? You're worried about leg kicks. You're worried about
takedown defense.
You're worried about all these different things. You have all these different
variables on your
plate. Now you remove all those variables. You give Tyron a pair of shoes and
you just let him punch.
You know, he punches really fucking hard. And when he doesn't have to worry
about wrestling,
he doesn't have to worry about getting as tired and he can pick his shots, he'll
be the most dangerous
guy that Jake Paul's ever fought, for sure. But it doesn't necessarily mean
that he wins. And I think
Jake Paul can fucking box. If you look at that Nate Robinson fight, I know Nate
Robinson didn't know
what he was doing. But the way he landed those punches, he cracked him and
knocked him out moving
backwards. He can move backwards and then plant. So he doesn't have big wind up
movements. His brother
has more wind up shots. His brother was throwing more windmill-y type arm
punches. Jake throws things
straight and hard. They're dangerous. Much more dangerous. - Here's why I have
more respect for
the older brother for what he just did. Yes, he outweighed him by 40 pounds,
but he got in there with
perhaps the best fighter to ever get in a ring. I'd love to see how Jake Paul
fares against someone
similar in size that is a boxer. - Yeah. Well, you know what, man? He's only
got a couple of fights.
Here's how you have to look at him. Look at him like any other guy who only has
a couple of fights.
If you saw a guy who's coming up and he didn't have an amateur career and he's
only had a couple of
fights, he'd go, "Man, he's got some promise." - Yeah, no, but these guys aren't
in it for the-
are they in it for the long haul to become boxers? Jake says he is. - They're
in it to become spectacles.
- But imagine if this guy gets all the way up to a world title fight. Imagine.
Imagine if he actually
works his way through some professional boxers. - That would be remarkable,
wouldn't it?
- It wouldn't just be remarkable. The fucking money he'll be able to earn. -
Well, how about fighting a
recently retired- you know who would fuck him up right now? - Who would fuck
him up right now?
- Andre Ward. - Are you saying Andre Ward? - Andre Ward. Even right- because he
can't fight-
Andre can't fight professionally anymore because he's had some physical
problems. But Andre's still
in shape. He's recently retired. Maybe he'll get mad at me. - Are you trying to
set something up?
- I know. - Look at you, you're looking away. You're like the worst poker
player ever. He's like,
well, maybe. - Well, I just know. I know. I know. Look, that's my brother. I
mean, I know that he's
like- - Has he thought about it? - He's thought about it. He's thought about it.
He's thought about it
and be like, we've talked about it recently. - Catch new episodes of the Joe
