"Common, like respect me a little bit" LOL 😂
Jake Paul plays smart, not crazy.
As if Ngannou is some great boxer 🤣 He's 0-2 and had the most lopsided embarrassing loss in boxing history in his last match. He would probably lose to Jake if not for his size advantage. He's older, slower, trained less time, etc
@@neo7759 0-2 against titans, actual boxers.
@leonardebron6032 if logan can face Floyd Jake's a better boxer and this dude again loss badly to those boxers
@@EpicLabs24 how is Francis gonna run his mouth and continue to trash jake at the same time
It doesn't matter anyways when jake takes that beter bieve fight he won't ever have to take another boxing fight again
Please do it for the people Francis
In boxing? Francis got absolutely mauled in his last bout.
Him and Jake are friends Jake helped him get a better deal in the pfl
@silversharkc4666 but who'd he fight? And where's jake fighting
@@silversharkc4666 brooo stop playing lol he fought Tyson fury and Joshua, Jake lost to Tommy fury lol we need this fight to end Jake foreva
@@silversharkc4666
True but do you see his house now? He made dozens of millions.
Even if Ngannou said yes, Jake wouldn't take that fight if it's not rigged for him to win.
Don't be silly, guys. You should know by now.
It’s not rigged at all he just is very selective and strategic about who he selects as an opponent
That means it's rigged 😅@@kp7071
After ngannous performance against fury (even if fury was out of shape hed beat jake after 3 years without training with ease) literally nobody would believe that jake can beat ngannou. I don’t even think that ngannou would lose to jake even if he tried he’d accidentally knock jake out with a jab
Francis is in it for the bag too, he wants money it’ll again be righed
@@duhund6830in the UFC he had basically accidentally knocked people out. It was amazing how he floored people with punches that seemed to miss.
Jake- “I’m a natural born heavyweight”
Why don’t you fight a Francis then Jake? Francis is 40 year old mma fighter come on Jake he qualifies
He ain’t natural born he’s on steroids
jake actually said on his podcast after the fight, he is not a heavyweight, that he is a 200 pounder
i remember him saying he is a natural born heavyweight and I was like no he is not lol, look at how heavy he was breathing against Mike from not throwing much
Francis is the only MMA fighter they can beat Jake , that is my prediction.
Fake quote , he’s never said that . He actually said he’s going back down to cruiserweight
@ fake quote??? Really? Stop riding him lil boy. If you saw the mike press conference jake says that then! Watch it back if you still think it’s “fAKe”
Ngannou knows if he fought Jake Paul he'd have to sign a contract, indicating that he can't knock Jake out
They would make Francis wear 20oz gloves lol
Smacking jake around for 8 rounds should avenge mike tyson
@@sfox84 💀
@@sfox84I’m not sure that’d be enough to save him
I think every real fight fan is absolutely tired of seeing people fight, solely for money.
Francis said it best, "this is entertainment."
Ngannou vs the Logan brothers LET'S GO!
You mean the Paul sisters
Both of them lol
If that fight ever happened, we would make it a national holiday in remembrance
@@GabrielFerdin-t2v😂😂

Ngannou VS Wilder is the fight we need the most.
Wilder is washed

@johndawhale3197 still don't think he can beat nganoiuu those wars with fury took life out of him

Francis has better English than Stipe.
no he doesn't, this guy is thee dumbest fighter since the diaz brothers.
Stipe is a jerk

Francis will prob end up killing Jake if there are no restrictions 😂
I'm buying 2 PPVs the moment they released Francis vs Joke Paul. Please please please Francis do it for the people we need this 😬😬😬😬
They will paid francis and lose the fight

@@HarShik-e9e precisely.
Francis vs Tom is the fight to make
Tom Aspinall don't want that kind of smoke 😅
@@KingEugene-m6cHahaha
Nah Tom said this is an exciting fight @@KingEugene-m6c
@@KingEugene-m6c haha agreed
the predator SA Jon Jones in one round, 5 minutes rest and then he SA tom Aspinal like if Ngannou was michael jackson and aspinal was a toddler
There are reports today Dubois has called Paul out. Obviously that fight's not gonna happen. That would be a slaughter, i would actually fear for Jake's safety in that fight
I’d love to see Daniel whoop that boy😅
Dubious would be attending a funeral he caused himself
@@Rulesoffitness damm right! But Paul has apparently been saying he wants that fight! It's all nonsense and bravado. The ibf wouldn't allow that fight!
I would pay good money to see that fight.
@@baggyclothes4life991but the wbc would
This guy is very nice and he was unbeatable and Dana just kept him at a distance...
Go check his record buddy, he's lost before and not just in boxing...
Francis isn't very Americanized and doesn't understand how business in America works, which is why he doesn't get along with DANA. He wants to box, do MMA, and control his opponent's wages. In America, you can't work for Pepsi and Cocola at the same time. IT'S A DOG-EAT-DOG WORLD WHEN IT COMES TO BUSINESS.
@@bb8942 How is that relevant in any way?
Francis wants to fight someone who is on his level.
Tokenomics on point, a strong development fund, and a clear focus on community growth, Alemio Network has it all!
The interviewer didn't even mention Jones, but stuck with the Paul fight? Wtf is this
Get over it, that fight will never happen jon is contracted with the ufc and Francis is in the pfl besides jon would take him down and smash him with elbows lol
I thought Jones was under contract to only fight for UFC and Francis is refusing to fight for the UFC.
The fact that they thought that was a good question and then put the response in the title lol
Only a few spots left in Alemio presale-this is what first-mover advantage looks like!
Quarden Token is going to pump now
Jake Paul should callout Ngannou 😂
Should’ve asked if Ngannou thinks that Tyson fight was scripted. Also, Francis should fight Jake on Disney+.
Tyson has bills to pay, which if you ask me, is the key reason he fought Jake Paul. I don't think anyone in the world right is doing well. Why, for example, did Donald Trump run for US President in 2016, 2020 and 2024 if he is a billionaire? Donald Trump should not be straining himself with election campaigns, or the task of running America, he should be "enjoying" his billions in peace and quiet.
Same with Joe Biden who is 82 years old, and still working. Joe Biden still has a "desk job" like many other regular folks around the world, Joe Biden is not "taking it easy," for example, basking in the sun at a beach on a faraway island, as he sips on glasses of juice.
What do Mike Tyson (58 years old), Joe Biden (82 years old), Donald Trump (78 years old), Bill Clinton (78 years), Sylvester Stallone (78 years old), Morgan Freeman (87 years old), Francis Ford Coppola (85 years old), Cher (78 years old), Patti LaBelle (80 years old), Robert De Niro (81 years old), Dione Warwick (83 years old), Al Pacino (84 years old), Martin Scorsese (82 years old), Smokey Robinson (84 years old), Bernie Sanders (83 years old), Mitch McConnell (82 years old), Chuck Schumer (73 years old), Mitt Romney (77 years old) and Arnold Schwarzenegger (77 years old), have in common?
What they have in common is that they are still working, because they need the money. The global economy is not in the best of shape, which is why "big guns" like those mentioned above, are still working like many other regular folks around the world.
2:45 - 2:55 gives serious angry African dad vibes lool
I would tune in for Francis vs Paul bros
Francis would literally knock Jake's head clean off his shoulders!
Jake Paul is now a heavyweight. Francis is a 40 year old MMA fighter that got brutally KO'd in his last boxing match. Francis qualifies. Jake and Francis are both partners in PFL they could do it there to pump up PFL. Jake has his own production company and they can do it there. Make it happen!
Said he was going to slap Jake, then switched up to this….. Nice Francis
Yeah everyone’s tough until they stand in front of jake paul
Rage bait: ?/10
Jake Paul is his boss that’s why, he fights for pfl it’s owned by Paul
@ It’s owned by Jake?? Lmao
He has a small equity stake with his 2 fight deal with them?
@@TrillAnonymous still is a boss at the end of the day
@ You have minority share holders coming into your company firing people?
Francis be like “Jake, WHAT IS DE MATTA WIT U?!”
Yeah he kind of nailed it
I think Jake Paul Logan Paul and Francis Ngannou and Daniel Dubois tag team boxing would be great different but great
The market is buzzing with opportunities. Alemio Token presale could be the next big thing to ride the alt run wave!
Just because AJ knocked his ass out doesn't mean he shouldn't try to get a boxing match with Jake Paul. Go for it, I say.
Francis Ngannou would knock out Jake Paul in the first 30sec
@@Guffe97 but he has only two fights jake has over 6
Francis would knock Paul into another Dimension don't be silly. Jake knows better.
Ngannou has no place in a boxing ring. Period
Francis towered over and dwarfed Jake during their PFL promo for Francis’s last fight. Jake said he felt small next to him which really automatically eliminated Francis from ever being considered as a Jake opponent
MMA rules I think Francis beats both brothers
Big Bang Zhang or Andy Ruiz vs Jake Paul would be more appropriate if anything 🤔 Jake Paul vs Francis Ngannou in MMA lol yeah okay 🥊🥊
Man! Francis' English has come a long way fast.
Francis... sometimes hero's have to step up and do things they don't want to do. Be the hero we need, Francis.
you have to fight both Paul brothers at the same time🤣🤣🤣🥊
Francis might be the fight to make. He should be able to put box Francis but Francis can knock his head off and it’s big.
Paul is not more skilled than Francis nor is he quicker and has a massive reach disadvantage.
I’m sorry wtf
U seriously think Jake Paul can outbox Francis nganouu
The same Francis nganouu who outboxed Tyson fury on his debut???
Get out of here
Jake Paul is decent but nowhere near good or elite
pls do it
People need to learn more about fighting then just hand picking opponents
FRANCIS IS TRIPPIN HE DOESNT REALISE THIS COULD BE ANOTHER 10MILLION DOLLAR PAYDAY FOR HIM ,HE IS CRAZY NOT TO CONSIDER IT !
Imagine paul getting hit with the same punch that overeem send to mars
You guys are dumb stop allowing logan to make all this money doing gimmick fights then complain that the fights are rigged and dumb. I blame all the people who tune in to this crap.
Let's go Francis
Jake paul vs Wilder
Why not ?
Francis always too nice and friendly. He should make more noise and show his opinions in an aggressive way to make Dana, Jon and Jake be silent and more respectful.
Maybe he shouldn't have lied and said jon ran away when he knows that Jon signed the contract and he didn't......amd for some reason Jon is still respectful to Francis and he shouldn't be
@tommy2swole jones ran away for 3years
@@tommy2swole Jon priced himself out of that fight.
@@tommy2swole Francis called out Jon during 2020-2022. Jon asked for 30 millions. Wake up...
@alcottdevalte7440 hey genius .... Jon got the 30Million amd signed the contract...WAKE UP!!!! even Kevin iole and Francis admit Jon signed the contract and yet Jon ran away hahahahahahhahahaha grow up
Alemio presale bonus tiers are a great incentive for early supporters-huge potential here!
My respect for Francis just went up at least tenfold
that would be cool, Francis vs 2 Paul in octagon lol
Francis is talking MMA and the interviewer is talking boxing. Francis must start selling the boxing and not shut it down. A boxing fight with Jake would be all time.
Jake and Francis are kinda buddies. No way Francis does that to him 💀
Ay he said it not us put both of them in there if hes that confident 🔥🔥🔥
Ngannou vs valentin moldavsky could be next
Francis needs to fight Jake Paul for Mike Tyson.. WE NEED FRANCIS TO SMACK JAKE PAUL AROUND. FRANCIS DON'T RESPECT JAKE PAUL EVENTS. IT'S NOT BOXING
A 58 yr old has no business in a boxing ring regardless of who it is.
Jake Paul is making a mockery of Boxing fighting boxers past the prime etc.
Boxing has turned into a circus show now.
I never want to watch that crap again anymore.
Mike Tyson has let the adulation go to his head & it is EMBARRASSING!
Jake couldn't pay him enough to take a dive. Ngannou already made tens of millions of dollars boxing Fury and AJ. He doesn't need money from a Jake Paul clown show. He'll make plenty of extra money elsewhere.
Let’s throw Jake Paul into the ring with Mr. Francis Ngannou.
Somebody said it
I would pay for francis vs both Pauls in a cage
list of people who called out fake paul and could obliterate him:
ingannou, carl froch, beterbiev, daniel duboice, oliver mcall, ryan garcia
Jake early on was throwing as hard as he could, and he even landed a big overhand on Mike in like round 2. At 58, Mike ate it, even being a small heavyweight himself. There is 0 doubt left that Jake Paul, although he does have some power, there is absolutely nothing he could hit a guy like Ngannou with that would hurt him. He can't hurt heavyweights., much less if they're his age.
It was a Mike Tyson show, whichever way you look at it.
Jake should fight a real boxer who isn’t a senior .
Hey Jake, you are so tough to fight retired ufc fighters and an old man, why dont you fight this guy. Lol Ngannou will put you to sleep in round 1!
That's exactly why Jake won't take the fight. Ngannou is a principled man, he is going to go out there for a real fight. Not an exhibition.
You’re also part of the show
It’s crazy how Jake said he was down to fight a way smaller guy like Tank Davis but when Francis called him out he just said he’s clout chasing 🤣 Jake Paul loves to feel proud of beating smaller and older opponents. He loves to brag about it he loves being a bully in that ring and would never go up against someone his size and age clown 🤡
The first Celebrity Death Match : Ngannou vs the Paul Brothers.
I want to see Francis get revenge for Mike.
The Alemio team is setting the bar high for presales. Transparency + bonuses = community trust!
Just subscribed to Alemio Network's channel. Looking forward to more updates on this project
lol look at big house.He really got to the bag
Did he just say it's impressive to be able to stand up on his own at 58 years old?? Well get this into you Mr Ngannou. I am 44 and I can do 6 push ups!! Not in a row. Let's not be crazy. But still. 💪😂🤣
Jake Paul knows Ngannou would kill him in boxing.
And do worse things to him in MMA
Vanguard tier bonuses look incredible! Alemio is rewarding its loyal presale participants and early adopters well!
ICO of the year? Alemio Network is definitely in the running with its unique approach to DeFi and AI.
Scripted fights are so nice
I’ve been watching Alemio Network since the beginning of the presale, and it’s looking more solid every day. Might be one of the better DeFi plays this year.
Got my ALM tokens during the presale, feels like I’m ahead of the curve! Alemio Network could be one of the best DeFi projects of the year
Meme coins are almost like a Gamble, but if you win, you win big. That is why i aped in Wurmp, could be a big win.
Fran….mike an stand, I can’t believe it..🧐😁
Even I wouldn’t want to see Francis box with Jake. How much must you hate Jake to want to see such a battering
Francis wants to get in the the ring with legit boxers. No stipulations, no weird rule changes. Yes Tyson was a legitimate boxer, but when I saw him walking to the ring that was when I realized how old he is. Honestly 58 isn't old, but for a sport like a boxing it is. He didn't have the same Mike edge on the walk up. And I just saw the age in his face and his legs. If this was Roy Jones fight age Mike then maybe.
Man Francis would knock paul into another dimension, obviously jake aint gunna actually fight ngannou it wolld be a rigged fight Francis wouldn't be allowed to knock paul out lol paul eould never legitimately fight francis ngannou
Ngannou vs Logan & Jake round by round boxing fight
ICOs like Alemio ALM thrive during alt runs. Early investment now could mean massive gains in the near future!
Francis Ngannou is one of the hardest punchers on planet earth ..... there are two chances Jake fights him ..... " slim" and "none "
bro everyone's name being linked with Jake paul
Jake is not getting in with Francis 😂
😎
It´s that time of a cycle when meme coins start to perform. Wurmp will be one of the best once presale ends.
And LOCK the Gage 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
82% tokens sold already? Alemio presale is heating up! Get in while you can!
Jake just might attempt to convince Francis to take a dive for millions! I wont be surprise if Francis have a change of heart for the right amount of money!
4 years ago.

Hearing Mike is 57 yo and that was the reason he performed poorly makes me nervous.I will be 60 in feb.and I don't lack strength,reflexes,and I don't train much.There is a video where a 71 yo Italian boxer Ernesto Bergamasco dismantles a young fighter in few seconds.Ernesto is boxing in a wool sweater.That tells he came to a gym as a visitor not for a match.
We are talking about Mike not just some boxer.He was killing those bags and sparring partners while training.His physique was of a 30 yo.
Was it his ulcer?Is he getting dementia?Maybe,but don't tell me it's his age
I love Francis but i really doubt he beats jake in a straight up boxing match. Jake has more "boxing" experience and the last time we saw Tyson he looked really bad against AJ. Didnt really box well.
Jake Paul is a decent boxer and he's not a small dude.
It'll definitely be interesting though.
Lets stop doubting Jake Paul. Francis said old Mike was gonna beat Jake... that didn't age well
Jake couldnt even beat Tommy Fury. Dont be silly
@edwardtran1974 Tommy Fury is from a boxing background. He's been boxing all his life... And it was a close fight.
@kandreal and Francis almost beat Tyson Fury. Therefore Jake Paul can beat Tyson fury?
@@edwardtran1974 wtf knows??? Tyson is no longer in his prime. Before then would you think AJ beats Tyson? But definitely AJ vs Tyson would be more competitive. My point is Styles make fights.
