#JakePaul #Freakshow #Paulvsdiaz

You might be forgiven for thinking that the Clown Planet of Influencer Boxing is a relatively new invention. But pulling back the curtain we can trace the roots of the worst trend of the 2020’s all the way back to the 1940’s. Come with me as we investigate the world of freakshow and spectacle fights, through 80 years of combat sports and the eventual birth of the worst thing to happen to the MMA landscape: Jake Paul.

  1. Thank you for the shout out! I'm glad to find your channel, thanks to your viewers. You're making great content, I've been binging it all day

  2. the ali and inoki fight was arranged by inoki, not vince, since it was inoki's promotion. ali didn't wanted to do the job for inoki and none of the parties came to an agreement for the match. there's a little explanation for this fiasco in one of the Jim Cornette's podcasts.

  3. An interesting note about Rikidozan. He wasn't Japanese but from the area now known as North Korea. He came to Japan knowing no Japanese, faced a lot of prejudice, but he overcame that. He learned to wrestle the hard way, trained with heavy weights, and was known for his explosive chops to the body. He also had a short temper which led to his fight against the Yakuza member and his subsequent death.

  4. Lovin ur work my man! Well researched, well put together and heaps funny too. Awesome stuff, a real treat to watch 👍👊❤️

  5. Maaaayte! Luv ur roster of esoteric references! From Cannibal Corpse n DB Cooper to James Joyce n Shakespeare, brilliantly done sir ❤️

  6. Don king easily was a much bigger p.o.s then Vince was.. Vince was scum but don was the king of trash

  7. I appreciate you wrecking your feed to further enlightening me on this whole shit show. I somehow got subbed to a Paul's yt channel during the fking distrack craze. I thought I was going to have to sell my soul to clear those clowns off my recommended. Just know you're not alone, light at the tunnel or some shit like that.

  8. I want to get in the ring and whoop his ass on principle. I'll take the money too. I'm 6'2" 250 pounds (not fat). Also have coronary failure, but I'm pretty sure I could take him. Couldn't imagine fighting an opponent with a better name: THRALLDUMEHAMMER! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
    Also great video, watched Frank Dux before this loved it!!!

  9. I do not mean to demean your great humor style of being your own straight man but hearing a kid say "they hit him with a bat do death" was the funniest shit ever

  10. The Paul brothers are even worse than I thought. I just CANNOT believe how they have an audience. What the fuck, world?!

  11. 1:01:09 – I think about this part often. I’ve watched this video a few times just to get to this part.

    Probably my favorite part of all the work you’ve done that I’ve seen. I hope others enjoy it as much as I do, and take Minowaman as a shining example.

  12. I get great laughter out of your sarcasm and video cuts thank u also hope to visit Ireland in next couple yrs

  13. Rickydozan was killed because he was from north Korea originally, The Yakuza found out and killed him that's what anoki himself has said
    Anoki maintained close ties with the NK goverment and thats how the wcw even collision in korea came about.

  14. Napoleon Blownapart needs to team up with The Pinkman and make these videos. Life would then be worth living.

  15. love hearing the persona and disco elysium music, im currently playing persona and the wife is playing disco lol. great video as always!

  16. Excellent video. I particularly liked the section on that human impersonator Jake Paul.

  17. Jack Dempsey had a popular restaurant in NYC for years. I believe it was right across the street from Madison Square Garden. I never got to eat there before it close and this saddens me.
