Jake Paul was able to quickly destroy Ben Askren during their primary event fight on the Triller app. The knockout was so fast that many fans took to social media to voice that Askren “took a dive” or that the match was scripted. Nonetheless, Paul took to social media to collect a bet from Dana White, trash talk Nate Diaz, and make fun of Askren.
Anyone who participated in the event’s viewership knows that the boxing fights weren’t the star of a show. While they may have anchored segments of the programming, most airtime was consumed by outside entertainment. Concerts from the likes of Justin Bieber and Saweetie took up a large block of air time. Additionally, a slap strongman competition and commentary from the likes of Snoop Dogg, with analysis from SNL’s Pete Davidson.

Lastly, Paul expressed that he would beat famous UFC star Nate Diaz in a boxing fight by knocking him out in 3 rounds. Previously, Paul spoke of using a victory over Diaz to get the battle he ultimately desires, which is finally a massive payday in a fight against Conor McGregor.
Making Future Fights
Paul has a goal of becoming the highest-paid prizefighter in the world. To do that, he’ll have to face some of the biggest names in mixed martial arts inside of a boxing ring.
Do fans think Paul will be able to secure a fight against either Diaz or McGregor? Also, will Dana White pay up?
