Biggest part of Pauls successing is the exact people here "laughing" how ridiculous they are and the "i had to google Paul" guys. People love to hate them, in a time where hating and cancelling people is cool and livid. People will pay anything to see them get destroyed, and they will ride the wave to the end and retire with gazillion dollars of money.
I too think its scary and stupid that they have caught so much spark on just being idiots, but I have to respect what they have achieved. Im curious how far it all can go. Its sort of like the modern day Jackass, but with social media on their tool they are taking it to the next level and beyond.
Its a hockey forum so surely there will be people on Kanes corner, but the fact is that Askren is a real fighter who has been through lot of real wars, and Kane is not. And you can disrespect Jake Paul as a fighter as much as you want, but the reality is that he is real enough to take the attention of likes of Mayweather.
Like most have said, this is not something Kane should be spending his time on. He is not even remotely big of a fish to draw attention from the Pauls, and if he somehow manages to get on their radar they have the power to destroy Kane both in social media and on the boxing rink. Its not worth it for Kane, and anyways if he doesnt understand his contract will deny him from taking it to the end I dont know what to say. Its lot of noice from Kane for nothing, lose-lose. Or maybe he is just somewhat trying to get on that wave himself and try to get attention to get more followers and find ways to turn that into money somehow.
Interesting to see their exit-strategy for all this, when it comes to that. And also if they eventually will make a comeback, as I think they understand the mood of masses well. Maybe they'll come back apolozising and sorry, and save some puppies and do charity and their 15m followers and 15m haters will welcome them with open arms, as people also do like to forgive and see people "change".
