Talk show host Piers Morgan seemed to backtrack his feelings on what he said was Jake Paul’s “staged” matches after Paul and his team threatened with litigation.
“I announced a few weeks ago that Jake Paul’s boxing career has been ‘boring staged bulls —.’ What I thought is that his battles have been predominantly against older opponents of previous, prime prime, which may be lucrative for both sides, and may have entertainment value, but does not reveal how he stacks up against current ranked boxers and is therefore not a good look for the sport, “Morgan sent to X.
“I did not intend to suggest that the result was predetermined and certainly did not mean to suggest anything illegal. But if reports are correct that Jake is now in negotiations to fight Anthony Joshua, it would obviously be a seriously credible fight against one of the best heavy weights in the world.

Morgan shared TMZ’s submissions that said he “withdrew[ed]”His original mood, but Morgan answered,” does not clarify and withdraw. “He also deleted the post.
However, that did not prevent Paul from getting one last laugh.
“Omg the first peasant that I am pleasing to get on my knees and apologize – who do I take next to the next for lying on my name?” Paul wrote in a post on his Instagram stories on Saturday.
Morgan wrote that he was not sued.
“If someone says my matches are staged, you will be sued, and secondly, you are a jealous a-farmer who can’t even believe how good I am in this sport and you have to go to church to fix your insecurities,” Paul continued. “I pray for you because I have so much love for humanity and it includes the people who are against me – really pray for you and I want the world to be in a better place. In humans are filled with an illness and I am here to help you cure it.”

Last month, Paul sent on social media that he “asked my team to vigorously go after anyone who makes up lies about my boxing career.” He hired lawyer Alex Spiro, who once represented Elon Musk and Aaron Hernandez, earlier this month.
MVP co-founder Nakisa Bidarian said on social media that Morgan can “count on” Bidarian, who sues him after the talk show host said the matches are “staged.”
“That’s one thing to say, ‘you’re not a good boxer.’ It’s another thing to say, ‘you fight against older guys.’ But when you say the fighting is staged, alias rigged, defamating us, “Bidarian Pakinomist told Digital in a recent conversation. “You destroy value for his brand, for MVP’s brand and what we stand for, which is sport.
“You are actually attacking California State Athletic Commission that monitored this event (Paul vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.). Then you say we risk going to federal imprisonment for putting on staged events. So enough, we have been patient for a long time, and now it is time people either pull back and admit that they were wrong.”

“Every single Jake Paul match has been sanctioned by an athletic commission,” Bidarian added. “Every single Jake Paul Fight has had sports betting on it. Every single Jake Paul Fight has been with a great media partner. For someone to say that any of Jake’s matches are something other than professionally sanctioned matches with clear rules is ridiculous.”
The calls for rigged battles grew loud after Paul fought for Mike Tyson. At that time, Bidarian Pakinomist told Digital that It all was legitimate.
