In this segment, Joe Rogan critiques Jake Paul’s approach to boxing, especially when he fights MMA fighters and YouTubers. Rogan believes that Jake’s career is more about manipulation and marketing than true boxing skills. He argues that Jake picks opponents strategically, often avoiding real competition by fighting non-boxers or athletes past their prime.

When Jake Paul announced that he was quitting his fight with Mike Tyson, Rogan’s disappointment was evident. He had long predicted that challenging a legend like Tyson was a bad idea, but Jake, focused on gaining clout, ignored the warnings. Rogan sees this move as typical of Jake’s career strategy, calling his opponents handpicked to ensure victory. Rogan’s critique centers on how Jake’s career undermines the integrity of boxing, creating a spectacle rather than real sporting competition. He expressed his concerns both privately and publicly, emphasizing the physical danger Jake could face by underestimating someone like Tyson, even in his older age.
