A few weeks ago, Bomani Jones interviewed Jake Paul on his HBO show, Game Theory, partly about his fight with Tommy Fury.
When the conversation turned to the ethics behind Paul’s “Betr” and micro-betting, the influencer/boxer turned hostile to Jones, childishly telling the sports commentator he doesn’t know who he is with expletives. With Jones also questioning Paul’s fighting acumen at the time, the clip of said exchange understandably went viral.
Now, after Paul made the lamest excuse for a split-decision loss to Fury on Sunday, Jones recalled what happened when he had him as a guest.
Jones seemed to take great pleasure in Paul’s defeat while trolling him over their interview on HBO.

In a rare case of the saying, I think it’s fair to say Jones not only had the first laugh over Paul — who lashed out at him for asking basic questions — but he also had the last. From that respect, Sunday had to taste extra sweet for Jones.
