On Saturday, sports fans (or just people who wanted to see Jake Paul get punched) were treated to an abomination of a boxing match between the controversial YouTuber and retired UFC fighter Ben Askren.
The fight itself was as much of a joke as many expected, and Paul won the bout with a first-round knockout of Askren who clearly didn’t bother to prepare for the fight. But despite Paul following up his shocking Nate Robinson KO with another knockout, the real star of the show was comedian Pete Davidson.
Davidson was hired as a host for the Triller Fight Club PPV, and he used that gig as an opportunity to roast Paul. It turned out that Paul didn’t appreciate that a comedian would dare to make fun of him. (WARNING: Lots of strong language)
CALL OUT: Pete Davidson called out by Jake Paul and his family. Jake's dad says "Can I fight that piece of sh*t?" Jake says it was his idea to have Pete host the event. Logan adds that Pete wants to host Jake's other boxing matches. Jake responds "F*ck that guy." pic.twitter.com/Nq6jy3rqsq

Paul, in his podcast, cursed out Pete Davidson and seemed genuinely upset that the SNL personality basically got paid by Paul to make fun of Paul. The entourage of Yes Men on the podcast agreed with Paul, but really, you gotta credit Davidson because he was easily the best part of the whole PPV.

Honestly, Paul’s anger just makes Davidson’s performance even better. The dude took Jake Paul’s money and went on to call him a terrible person. That’s a Hall of Fame move.
