Furthermore, if I was Gervonta Davis, and I was offered the choice of Jake Paul for significantly more money than taking on Lamont Roach, I\u2019d take Paul in a heartbeat. He\u2019s never much liked making weight, anyway. Likewise, if Paul, and I was offfered gazillions to scrap with someone half my size, I&#8217;d take it. Everyone is here to make as much money as possible, including those who are responsible for this \u201cexhibition\u201d being allowed to take place (presuming it does, of course). Perhaps the biggest takeaway is that Netflix seem far more interested in stuff like this than getting too embroiled in the world of real boxing, whatever that is these days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Matt Christie: Attach the word \u201cexhibition\u201d to a matchup and the powers-that-be could get away with pitting a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":87423,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,1920,6653,26697,9225,85],"class_list":["post-87422","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-boxing","tag-boxing-news","tag-boxingscene","tag-gervonta-davis","tag-jake-paul","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87422","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=87422"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87422\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/87423"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=87422"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=87422"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=87422"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
