Jake Paul challenges Paddy Pimblett after \u201cpathetic\u201d Anderson Silva match-fixing accusations YouTube\/MOLA\/Instagram\/JakePaulJake Paul has issued a $1 million challenge toward Paddy Pimblett, who accused the YouTuber star of fixing his latest bout against MMA icon Anderson Silva. Jake Paul has become a major player in the boxing world. With an undefeated record of 6-0 and his own promotion company to boot, \u2018The Problem Child\u2019 is making a big name for himself and even Paddy Pimblett thinks so. Ahead of his UFC 282 co-main event showdown against Jared Gordon, \u2018The Baddy\u2019 spoke to Pub Talk to discuss his fights, and eventually, the topic of Jake Paul came up. According to Paddy, Jake Paul could legitimately beat top professional boxers thanks to his training, funds, and work ethic, but he believes his fights have a big problem. \u201cI think his fights are fixed,\u201d the Brit claimed. Paddy Pimblett says Jake Paul rigged Anderson Silva fight When questioned about Jake Paul allegedly fixing fights, Pimblett explained that while he doesn\u2019t think every match was rigged, some certainly were. \u201cI don\u2019t think the Tyron Woodley knockout was fixed because when you get knocked out like that and you land face first, if you\u2019re not unconscious you\u2019re going,\u201d Paddy paused to stretch his arms out. \u201cYou can\u2019t help it, that\u2019s a human reaction.\u201d (segment begins at 26:25) Jake Paul offers to spar Paddy Pimblett for $1 million Jake Paul has since issued his response to Pimblett\u2019s claims, and even issued a sparring challenge toward the mixed martial artist to the tune of $1 million. \u201cI\u2019m sick and tired of this narrative,\u201d Paul said. \u201cIt\u2019s pathetic. It\u2019s stupid. You\u2019re disrespecting your own GOAT of your own sport. You\u2019re saying that Anderson Silva is a criminal. You\u2019re saying he\u2019s a fraud.\u201d \u201cI have a proposition for you. Since you wouldn\u2019t rig a fight, let\u2019s spar. Fly to Puerto Rico. I\u2019ll get you a private jet. We can do 5, three-minute rounds, boxing. If you win, I\u2019ll give you a million dollars. \u2026but if I win, you have to join the United Fighters Association and help me sign up all of the fighters in the UK.\u201d Jake Paul was able to defeat Tyron Woodley twice, once by decision and the other by KO. And while Paddy thinks Jake won that match fair and square, he has doubts about his victory against Silva. \u201cI seen an angle of a punch he hit Anderson Silva with the other day when he sat down, and he didn\u2019t even hit him,\u201d he explained. Paul was able to best The Spider by decision in his most-recent fight and even managed to score a late knockdown that sent the internet abuzz and it seems like this is what Paddy was referring to. As for if the UFC star will ever fight a YouTuber, he hasn\u2019t ruled it out, calling the idea an \u201ceasy payday.\u201d So, if Paul wants to prove his win was legitimate, he appears to have a ready opponent in the form of Paddy The Baddy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
