“I had the opportunity to fight in Cage Warriors but I couldn't pass up the money Jake was offering,” Taylor told Betway Insider US. “I’m getting paid more money as Jake's training partner in two months than I made in my whole entire MMA career in six years. I swear to God, I made more money with Jake in two months than my whole MMA career.
“That’s disturbing when you think about it, because I fought for Bellator. I’ve fought two top five contenders in Bellator and I had a good run. It’s time to take it up a notch and fight for the UFC.”
These are the same people who thought Askren was going to knock someone out standing.
Not really anyone who is a draw. Joe Smith Jr is probably the top American at that weight but is an unknown to anyone who doesn't regularly watch.Depends on how much money they throw at Paul for a fight. Is there anyone with name recognition at cruiserweight/light heavy?
Going to the Royce Gracie school of "I almost got schooled so I'm going to retire undefeated before I become completely exposed.
at least the money was good while it lasted
Lol, I couldn't remember the exact conditions eitherI did make that bet, I gotta watch the first few episodes of Gomorrah. I’m a man of my word, though the conditions were a bit vague. Let’s say four.
As annoying/unlikable as they are, the Paul Brothers are not stupid. Like I said earlier, it's hard to imagine any scenario where they'd put themselves in a situation where they could easily get their asses kicked.Going to the Royce Gracie school of "I almost got schooled so I'm going to retire undefeated before I become completely exposed.
Not buying it. Feels like it’s just to stir attention.at least the money was good while it lasted
Make sure it's in Italian with English subtitlesI did make that bet, I gotta watch the first few episodes of Gomorrah. I’m a man of my word, though the conditions were a bit vague. Let’s say four.
I mean if Canelo Alvarez or someone threw stupid money out there for a fight, they'd have to take it. But barring a big "cash out" fight like that, yeah.As annoying/unlikable as they are, the Paul Brothers are not stupid.

Plus Floyd is more of a businessman in that sense. No guarantee that Canelo would be willing to put on the act there.Jake Paul wouldn't take a fight with Canelo for any amount of money unless it was brokered in advance that it be a carry job like Mayweather did with his brother.
