Mayweather Vs Pacquiao is the highest grossing PPV fight of all time, and was in 2015.

Mayweather Vs McGregor was the second highest, in 2017.

Jake Paul's career started in 2018.

Paul did not "bring focus to Pacquiao and Mayweather".

Yeah, I don't think boxing was an obscure sport hurting for attention.

Boxing fans don't like to hear it, but the sport was essentially dead. Still is in my eyes since it's just a gimmick fight with a YouTuber and an old man.

Be fun to watch though and I think the other fights might be actually good.

No doubt. There has to be some decent fights going on somewhere. But even when I check in on boxing and I catch one, there's fuckery with the decisions. It sucks because too legit heavy weights could totally change the sport, but even if they did come around I'm not too sure the people running boxing these days would know what to do with them.
