In the aftermath of Woodley’s demise, the fight garnered a wide array of opinions. Griselda rapper Benny The Butcher, along with many others, claimed the fight was fixed: “How many of you motherf**kers believe in that Jake Paul-Woodley sh*t? Let’s be real here man. Come on man, this is a gimmick man. They’re juicing us man.”
Other opinions like these claim that Paul and Woodley arranged for the fight to be fixed so they could both earn large sums of money.

Paul was originally slated to take on Tyson Fury’s half-brother, Tommy Fury; however, Tommy withdrew due to injury. Earlier in the night, former NBA player Deron Williams defeated former NFL running back Frank Gore via split decision for a special exhibition match.
