What the fuck is this card? | RE: Jake vs. Joshua: Complete Fight Card, From Prelims to Main Event - Netflix Tudum

Here’s everything you need to know.

Why do you have THREE WORLD TITLE FIGHTS on the PRELIMINARY CARD?

Glass half full: the prelims are free on YouTube, and given the hype for this event (it's Jake Paul vs Anthony Fucking Joshua), every boxing fan will be watching this portion of the show. If anything, because this is a Jake Paul boxing event, the free prelims might be better than the paywalled main card.

Speaking of the main card, there's actually one more world title fight...

Seriously, when was the last time you saw any promoter do this much for the women's side of boxing? Jake Paul may be an overrated boxer, but he's an underappreciated boxing promoter.

With all that said...

Two nobodies in the main card opener, plus a washed up Tyron Woodley (ex-UFC) boxing Anderson “The Spider” Silva (ex-UFC); the latter only starting his boxing career not even 5 years ago.

Good thing the main card is on Netflix, which everyone has a subscription to (or a shared account), because you'd rather watch the Good Times reboot instead. If this were any mid-tier streaming service (Peacock, Paramount+, ESPN, etc), it'd be a waste of money. Misfits Boxing on DAZN, PBC on Prime Video, and even PFL MMA cards on any network all sound more interesting. Pro wrestling events on TrillerTV are more hype worthy than this.

The #JakeJoshua main card is exactly the kind of uneven, overhyped, superficial trash that's killing boxing's relevancy and legitimacy as a professional sport. If anyone subscribed to Netflix at any point before the day of the event, it was most likely to watch the final season of Stranger Things.

The drunk haterade drinker would accuse Jake Paul of deliberately making the main card total fucking dogshit just so he's have an excuse for why AJ beating his ass was his lowest-rated boxing event of all time. Likely because they're drunk, they hate Jake Paul, and they don't have a clue what the fuck they're talking about. I digress.

To the world boxing champions and challengers whom the world will be watching this Friday on Netflix (Saturday, for the rest of us), we salute you.
