The Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren Triller Fight Club PPV is jam-packed with stars and musical performances. But in the lead-up to the main event, Saturday Night Live\u2019s Pete Davidson has been the star of the show. The panel asked him to share his thoughts on the final bout, but instead of saying anything insightful, he hilariously roasted both fighters, as well as the event itself. \u201cYou can tell how professional this event is by them having me here,\u201d he said. \u201cToday is a really wild day for boxing because it just shows how low it\u2019s truly sunk. I think today proves the fact that if you have enough followers, you can truly f**king do anything you want.\u201d \u201cI mean, Maybe PewDiePie will cure cancer, and Charli D\u2019Amelio will become a surgeon. Who knows?\u201d Then, he took it a step further and personally insulated Ben Askren and Jake Paul. \u201cTonight we have a bout between Ben Askren, who I don\u2019t know that is still, and I\u2019ve been reading up on him all week, and Jake Paul. And you know, they both suck, but at least somebody is going to get hurt!\u201d i LOVE this i LOVE him, FUCK jake paul https:\/\/t.co\/IS4upPQ12n \u2014 \u2606bella (@bellaandtheboys) April 18, 2021 People thought it was hilarious. However, it didn\u2019t sit well with Ben Askren, who shared his thoughts about it on social media and threw some shade back. \u201cI dare Pete Davidson\u2019s little weasel ass to stop by my locker room for the pre-fight interview,\u201d he wrote. I dare Pete Davidson\u2019s little weasel ass to stop by my locker room for pre fight interview. \u2014 Funky (@Benaskren) April 18, 2021 Fortunately, Pete Davidson did end up popping into his locker room shortly after and the two of them patched things up. He called Jake a \u201cpiece of sh*t\u201d and claimed that \u201creal celebrities don\u2019t like him.\u201d He even wrapped things up by saying, \u201cnobody wants anything other than for [Ben] to knock [Jake] on his ass.\u201d So, he\u2019s definitely on his side. https:\/\/twitter.com\/defnoodles\/status\/1383627543039778826?s=20 Pete Davidson\u2019s ruthless jabs have been a breath of fresh air for an audience who have felt underwhelmed by the lack of fighting and excessive entertainment so far. Maybe we will see the fight tonight, who knows. There\u2019s probably another 60 concerts before then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pete Davidson taunts Jake Paul &#038; Ben Askren in hilarious pre-fight interview TrillerPete Davidson roasted Jake Paul and Ben Askren in a hilarious pre-fight interview that stole the show in the lead-up to the Triller Fight Club PPV\u2019s Main Event.
