Can he fight? I doubt it,\u201d White told Candace. \u201cIf you look at what he\u2019s done, this isn\u2019t going to last long, but he\u2019s going to make some money. It\u2019s an absolute gimmick.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Following Paul\u2019s most recent victory, actual fighters are lining up for their piece of the YouTuber \u2014 and the payday that\u2019s sure to come along with it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Former welterweight champion Tyrone Woodley made his intentions clear after the Askren fight.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"7.3306451612903\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Enjoy saying you are a fighter for another day.

You have to have something that other people don\u2019t have. And the thing that this kid has is holy s**t, can this guy win? He\u2019s a YouTuber. Can he win?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThey\u2019ve caught on to a cool little niche, in the right place at the right time,\u201d White continued. \u201cThis isn\u2019t going to last forever. You\u2019re not going to see Jake Paul, 28-0. No, that isn\u2019t going to happen. But it\u2019s interesting. And we\u2019ll see how long the ride goes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>White also knows that Paul\u2019s current success helps the sport as viewers will continue to tune in to see the young gun with the big mouth get his just desserts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe country wants to see him get knocked out,\u201d White told The Daily Wire. \u201cI mean, part of the whole appeal of this thing, it\u2019s like, oh, I can\u2019t wait to see this kid get knocked out, which is brilliant.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>Joe Morgan is the Sports Reporter for The Daily Wire.
