Jake Paul has a dilemma on his hands when it comes to finding his next boxing opponent

The public wants Paul to take on a legitimate boxer, but his trajectory and raw development are actually right on track for more layups

Jake Paul is big business in the fight game. That was known before this past weekend, but reinforced by the attention paid on Saturday to Paul's battle with former UFC fighter Ben Askren. Early reports indicate that anywhere from one million to upwards of two million homes shelled out $50 for a pay-per-view that featured hours of musical performances and four boxing battles of varying quality, ending in Paul knocking out Askren to improve to 3-0 as a professional boxer. Spaced through the event were comedy skits, near-constant references to marijuana, an appearance by a seemingly inebriated Oscar De La Hoya and a slap fight. The continued success of these events means they aren't going away. Similarly, the Jake Paul boxing experiment will continue to roll on, despite the criticisms that come after each of his trips to the boxing ring.
