On a recent episode of IMPAULSIVE, Jake Paul ripped into Andrew Tate for his brand and how his target demographic is young, impressionable children.

"I just think it's funny that 'Top G' is a fanboy and he runs with this whole thing like, 'What color is your Bugatti.' Andrew, it's not cool to tell kids that they need a Bugatti to be cool."

He went on to add:

"My Bugatti that I have is in a Morgan Stanley bank account, compounding interest and hundreds of millions of dollars. So that's cooler than having a f*cking Bugatti."

The long awaited match between Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford for the undisputed welterweight champion is being targeted for November. While the negotiations are close to being finalized, the bout has not yet been officially confirmed, but that doesn't mean odds haven't been discussed.

Terence Crawford is the slight betting favorite at -125 over Errol Spence Jr., making him the underdog as of right now.

Since the two have joined different promotions, making the fight between them has been troublesome, but it now seems like we are in the home stretch and fans will finally be able to witness the welterweight showdown between Crawford and Spence Jr.
