The Jake Paul vs Gervonta “Tank” Davis press conference in New York was less about boxing strategy and more about insults, clowns, and a money-first spectacle

Jake Paul vs Tank Davis press conference turns circus as fighters trade insults
Jake Paul mocks Gervonta “Tank” Davis at their press conference in New York as the fight hype turns into a circus act.

NEW YORK – If anyone tuned in to the Jake Paul vs Gervonta “Tank” Davis press conference hoping for boxing insights, they instead got a circus act. The highly anticipated bout, scheduled for November 14 at the Kaseya Center in Miami, may not affect either fighter’s professional record — but judging from the spectacle in Manhattan, it has already cemented itself as one of the most bizarre events in boxing’s modern history.

Netflix muscles into the fight game

Boxing’s reputation has long been clouded by fractured titles and exhibition bouts. With 17 weight divisions and four governing bodies, casual fans often struggle to know who the real champions are. Into that chaos has stepped Netflix, which recently broadcast the Canelo Álvarez vs Terence Crawford fight to 41 million viewers. Now, the streaming giant is backing Paul vs Davis — a fight critics argue is a mismatch but undeniably a moneymaker.

A mismatch by the numbers

On paper, the two fighters don’t belong in the same ring. Paul (12-1, 7 KOs) stands 6’1” and weighs in at nearly 200 pounds. Davis (30-0-1, 29 KOs), a three-time world champion, last fought at the lightweight limit of 135 pounds on a 5’5” frame. The size difference is so stark it drew comparisons to Shaquille O’Neal vs Muggsy Bogues.

Despite the mismatch, Most Valuable Promotions CEO Nakisa Bidarian confirmed the fight will be contested at a 195-pound limit, with 12-ounce gloves over 10 three-minute rounds.

“Clown show” in Manhattan

The first press conference, held at the Palladium in Midtown, quickly unraveled into personal insults. Paul mocked Davis’ height, quipping that he might “spar with eight-year-olds” to prepare for someone that small. He also dragged up Davis’ controversial past, saying, “A clown is someone who puts his hands on females.”

To hammer home the circus vibe, actual adults dressed as clowns showed up in the crowd, drawing laughter and boos in equal measure.

Davis, visibly irritated but measured, shot back: “People always have something to say. It’s old news. Keep talking. At the end of the day, you’re here.”

Jake Paul’s shots at Floyd Mayweather

In a moment that drew audible gasps, Paul compared Davis to his former promoter Floyd Mayweather, saying both “can’t read.” For Paul, who started his boxing journey just five years ago after making his name on YouTube, the audacity of claiming he will “outbox a pugilist with 20 years’ experience” left many shaking their heads.

What’s really at stake?

This isn’t a sanctioned title fight. Win or lose, the bout will not affect Paul or Davis’ professional records. Three Florida-approved judges will score it, but even that hasn’t stopped critics from calling it nothing more than a money grab.\

And in truth, it is. Paul earned over $40 million fighting Mike Tyson earlier this year. Davis, one of boxing’s biggest active names, is assured a massive payday even if the fight lacks sporting legitimacy.

The bigger picture

Boxing fans have seen exhibition chaos before — from Mayweather vs Logan Paul to Tyson Fury’s crossovers — but Paul vs Davis takes spectacle to another level. For purists, it’s another blow to the sport’s credibility. For promoters, it’s proof that entertainment value can outweigh competitive balance.

Whether this fight delivers action or embarrassment remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the press conference proved that Paul and Davis know how to keep themselves at the center of attention, even if it means turning a sporting event into a late-night comedy roast.

Caleb Williams Impresses, but the Bears’ Late-Game Decisions Raise Eyebrows

One impossible touchdown changed everything — but Chicago’s season may have been decided by what happened next

Caleb Williams’ miracle touchdown gave the Bears hope — and a decision that will be debated for years

For one breathtaking moment, football stopped making sense.

With seconds left in a divisional-round playoff game, Caleb Williams launched a prayer — a 50-plus-yard, off-balance, back-foot moon shot — and somehow, impossibly, it found Cole Kmet in the end zone. It was the kind of touchdown that instantly joins NFL folklore, the sort of play fans remember for decades.

Suddenly, the Chicago Bears were one extra point away from tying the Los Angeles Rams — a scenario no one could have imagined just moments earlier.

And that’s when the question arrived, loud and unavoidable:

Why not go for two?

The dream-big argument

If Chicago converts the two-point try, the Rams are done. Season over. The Bears move one game away from the Super Bowl, potentially facing either a second-year quarterback or an injury replacement in the AFC. No matchup in the NFL is easy, but this was a window — and those windows don’t stay open long.

Ask Aaron Rodgers or Dan Marino how rare Super Bowl chances truly are. Between them, 38 seasons, one Super Bowl appearance each. Even greatness doesn’t guarantee multiple shots.

Momentum, belief, shock value — everything screamed end it now. One play. One decision. Push all the chips to the middle.

But football decisions aren’t made in the clouds. They’re made in film rooms.

Caleb Williams’ miracle touchdown gave the Bears hope — and a decision that will be debated for years


Why Chicago didn’t gamble

Offensive coordinator Ben Johnson didn’t flinch. Replays showed him calm, unmoved, almost indifferent to the miracle unfolding. He knew the touchdown created options — but also responsibility.

Because miracles don’t stack.

Just minutes earlier, Chicago had first-and-goal at the Rams’ 5-yard line. Three ineffective runs by De’Andre Swift and a failed fourth-down pass told Johnson everything he needed to know about his short-yardage confidence.

After the game, Johnson explained it plainly.

“Our goal-to-go situations hadn’t gone very cleanly,” he said. “Our inside-the-5 plan hadn’t worked out like we hoped. I just felt better about taking our chances in overtime.”

There was also time left — 13 seconds and two Rams timeouts. One explosive play, maybe a penalty, and Los Angeles could still have stolen it with a field goal even after a failed conversion.

So Chicago chose survival over glory.

How it unraveled anyway

The Bears lived to fight in overtime — and then watched their season collapse anyway. A brutal interception. A defensive breakdown. Game over.

And just like that, Williams-to-Kmet joined a heartbreaking fraternity: iconic plays that didn’t change the ending. Think Kurt Warner to Larry Fitzgerald in Super Bowl XLIII. Think Julio Jones and that impossible toe-tap in Super Bowl LI.

Legendary moments — frozen in time — attached to losses.

So… was it the wrong call?

Emotionally? Maybe.

Strategically? Probably not.

Coaches don’t get paid to chase vibes. They get paid to trust evidence. And Chicago’s evidence said a single, all-or-nothing snap wasn’t the best bet.

That doesn’t make it satisfying. It just makes it honest.

Caleb Williams’ miracle touchdown gave the Bears hope — and a decision that will be debated for years


What this moment really means for Chicago

The Bears don’t leave this game empty-handed. They leave with something rarer than a win: belief.

You can’t build a franchise on miracle throws — but you can build a culture on refusing to quit. This team fought until the very last second, and that matters more than fans often admit.

Williams will be just 24 entering the 2026 season. Think about what he might look like at 27, 28, 29. There are no guarantees — Rodgers and Marino taught us that — but this is as good a foundation as any team could ask for.

Years from now, if Chicago is lucky, Williams-to-Kmet won’t be remembered as a cruel “what if.”

It will be remembered as the beginning.
