Rumours are, they were contracted to last more than 5 rounds by Netflix, as they were paying the most money
AJ was offerred the bout & won. But no kudos from me. JP has shouted, screamed and spun horseshit for months if not years. I think he is a dick and got exactly the result we all expected. There's lots of people who don't understand life, boxing or how to tie their shoe laces who still claim Jake was amazing & the true winner. No respect was earnt -or given- imo. But the money they each got should make them both OK with that.
The only respect that JP gets is the fact he can run a half marathon backwards whilst trying to avoid being hit

Directing his comments at Paul, he said: "Fans didn't pay to see this crap." "Amen," replied Netflix commentator Mauro Ranallo. "Christopher Young with the call of the night."
No winners from that fight. People talk about the money they made but they were both very rich men already. You could tell by the look on AJs face after he finished it. “Meh, thank fuck that whole circus act is over”
Bah! AJ gets no sympathy from me. He gets £70million to add to all the rest in his account. He gets huge publicity in the USA which may help him get another big paying fight staged in the USA He hasn't even fought for a year. So he looked sheepish, relieved it was over, maybe he even felt a bit stupid & embarrassed. I've felt like that myself a few times. I had no one to blame but myself and neither does he. He got what he asked for.
