Jake Paul turns Chavez Jr.’s victory into a mature legal wonder. After raising the record to 12-1 with a boring record, Paul’s patience made anyone laugh at his joke. Now, he and his manager are being slammed by slander threats and appear to be more desperate than the rulers.
Paul Chavez: Is Piers Morgan in trouble?
TV host Piers Morgan released two barbs on X:
“My battle with Jake Paul on Thursday was better than the unobservable farce that happened tonight.”
“This guy lined his pocket with $$$$ buckets – but he was killing boxing with this boring bull, against older fighters, and surpassing their peak. ”
A few days ago, Paul sat on Piers Morgan without censorship and could only give anchors “fat a **” before ending the interview sharply.
Chavez Jr.
“After years of having it glided as a “hateman,” I asked my team to follow vigorously anybody who makes up my boxing career. Paul rants on social media.
Manager Nakisa Bidarian piled up in more harsh words:
‘This statement is not responsible. Last night’s fight with Chavez Jr. had no staged/rigging – just hard work and legal victory. Otherwise, it would not only undermine the integrity of the sport, but also defamatory and caused reputational damage to MVP, Jake Paul and the Commission. Enough. We will explore all options, including legal action, to hold those who spread this intentional and harmful lies accountable.”
Now, even podcasters and bloggers are sweating. Will Paul’s team track every tweet, post and article that dares to question his legitimacy? They warn of subpoenas, sediment and damage claims that could bury attorney fees.
Slander Exercise: What Paul Must Prove
To gain the upper hand in defamation lawsuits under California law, the plaintiff must state that the statement is:
-
conveys an assertive fact (not pure opinion)
-
What is wrong
-
Being published to others
-
Causing reputation damage
Since Jake Paul is a public figure, he also faces the standard of “actual maliciousness” and he must prove that critics either know that their statements are false or recklessly ignore the truth that this is a heavy lifting, which requires clear evidence that the defendants are full of serious doubts about their comments.
It’s hard to think of it as anything other than panic. Paul is not letting the punches speak, but strengthening the lawyer. Will this legitimate blitz silence critics or just amplify the wonder? To be sure: Jack Paul’s next fight may not be on the court, but on the court. The hater thinks he warns himself.
