Joe Rogan praises Jake Paul's marketing and promotional talent for his boxing fights
During a recent episode of the JRE podcast, Joe Rogan heaped praise on Jake Paul for his "very intelligent" approach to boxing. He also admitted that he "loves" what the YouTube celebrity is doing.
'The Problem Child' has advocated for a fighter's union in mixed martial arts. He believes athletes competing inside the cage need to be protected more than they currently are. His public plea for fighter support has led to him and Dana White having an ongoing feud that is still escalating.
While discussing Jake Paul's antics, Joe Rogan described the influencer as "hilarious." He also congratulated him on his success thus far, despite the rising star clearly targeting competitors in MMA:
"I love what he's doing... What he's doing is very intelligent. The promotion is off the charts, he's hilarious, he's brash, and he's winning. Anderson Silva, you gotta say, that's the most impressive fight that he's won. Anderson Silva's a legend and maybe he's 47 years old... "
Jake Paul recently thanked Joe Rogan for supporting him following his decision victory over Anderson Silva on October 29th. Many believed the fight to be fake, but that was later dismissed by the UFC commentator. The 25-year-old's boxing career continues to blossom. He recently appeared at WWE events alongside his brother Logan Paul.

Jake Paul's list of potential next opponents
Jake Paul is never short on potential opponents as a whole list of fighters and influencers are desperately trying to get the coveted matchup against him. But it currently remains to be seen who he faces next.
In a post on social media, it looks like the undefeated boxer will be stepping into the ring to face the controversial Andrew Tate. The former kickboxer has been consistent with his callouts.
Another man who is constantly on Jake's hit list is mixed martial arts veteran Nate Diaz. With his contract recently expiring with the UFC, he is free to pursue the seemingly imminent boxing match.
One final option for the internet star that seems inevitable is KSI. The two social media personalities have been embroiled in an ongoing feud for over half a decade.
