Ben Askren - Steve-O's Wild Ride! Ep #52

[@ItsDillan]

Ben shutting down Jake by legitimately not giving a fuck has been great. Jake is trying to sell this as some sort of heated rivalry with Bens pride on the line and Ben is just not having the shit at all. 😂 Even if he loses this fight it's been a pleasure seeing him defuse Jakes BS at every opportunity. P.S. The guests have been awesome lately, and you seem to be really getting a hang of the format! Keep killing it!! Yeah, Dude!! 🤘

[@Utahtruckguy]

Well he gets paid and rides off into the sunset and becomes low key with family win or lose

For real Ben seems like a cool ass dude. He's like, win or loose I'm good. Just richer.

[@Iceberqe]

Damn, this fight is making Ben more famous than he ever was when still active 😂 so far i think he has appeared on every podcast and show on youtube. He has become everybody's darling, while Jorge has fallen from grace with the fans really hard.

[@thatguitarguyguy]

You are absolutely correct and It's crazy. He was one of the best champions EVER outside of the ufc. Now retired, he is at his peak popularity

[@jonathanbrooks9768]

@@Cbrunning849 I think Jake knows he has a very restricted fan base and his fans that are into his fight game are already gonna buy it because the initial media hype behind it, so theres really no need for him to promote because the brainwash he already has over his prepubescent audience.

@jj jones ben himself said he doesn't get a percentage, so I believe him. it's base pay win or lose from what I gather, only thing with marketing or hyping the fight that'd benefit himself would be for outside sponsors paying him, or if he's selling merch, which he's never mentioned so I doubt it.

Ben's personality has had so many more chances to really shine through for a mass audience for the first time promoting this fight that I feel like no matter what the result is, his reputation is going to come out significantly better at the end. The fact that he doesn't really seem to care about his reputation at all in the first place only make him more likable on top of that.
