Jake Paul vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. pay-per-view price revealed ahead of June fight
Combat sports fans might need to save up for June 28 with Jake Paul facing Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and UFC 317 both taking place on the same night.
On Thursday, DAZN revealed the pay-per-view price for the Paul vs. Chavez Jr. fight, which also features former UFC champion Holly Holm making her return to boxing on the undercard.

The Paul vs. Chavez Jr. fight costs $59.99 for the pay-per-view along with a subscription to DAZN.
The boxing match marks Paul's first fight in 2025 after he put on one of the biggest spectacles in history this past November when he defeated former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson with more than 100 million viewers watching the event on Netflix.
The win over the 58-year-old Tyson moved Paul's record to 11-1 overall and now he's seeking to add another famous name to his resume when he faces Chavez in June.
Of course, Chavez comes into the fight at 39 years old and far removed from the prime of his career when he was a champion and top contender in several different divisions. Over his past six fights, Chavez has gone 3-3 including a shocking loss to UFC legend Anderson Silva, who Paul defeated back in 2022.

Most recently, Chavez won an uninspired decision over another former UFC fighter in Uriah Hall.
The event also includes Holm making her return to boxing for the first time since 2013 when she faces Yolanda Vega on the main card.
Paul vs. Chavez is set to go head-to-head with UFC 317, which features a vacant lightweight title fight at the top of the card when Ilia Topuria moves to 155 pounds to challenge former champion Charles Oliveira in the main event while Alexandre Pantoja defends his flyweight title against Kai Kara-France in the co-main event from Las Vegas.
UFC 317 costs $79.99 along with a subscription to ESPN+.

The Creator of Scream Has a New Netflix Hit. It's Salty, Soapy, and Fully Adult.
The Waterfront If things continue at their current pace, all of television is in danger of turning into a genre that I like to call 'Yellowstone, but … ' Of course, we have the Taylor Sheridan show's many prequel spinoffs, but their success also seems to have inspired waves of Westerns and dramas about locally powerful families who have fallen on hard times. The latest 'Yellowstone, but … ' show is The Waterfront, now streaming on Netflix, where it has immediately shot to No. 1 on the charts. This is a story set in a seaside town, following the locally powerful Buckley family, owners of a fishery, a restaurant, some beautiful houses, and undeveloped tracts of coastline, who have—you guessed it—fallen on hard times. Like the Duttons trying to hold on to their Yellowstone Ranch, the Buckleys need to arrest their downward mobility; their attempts to do so without betraying their beliefs, or one another, will be the meat of the story. The Waterfront is a Kevin Williamson show, set (like his Dawson's Creek) in coastal North Carolina, so it's full of salty, beautiful people who do soapy things. But unlike Dawson's Creek and Williamson's latter-day hit The Vampire Diaries, this is a full-on adult show, with no teenage romance, and with moments of hyperviolence that startled me into audible exclamations of 'Oh!' Adventuresome Netflix viewers looking for 'Outer Banks without the treasure hunt' will likely find themselves confused, and hopefully minimally traumatized, by this one. The Waterfront stars Holt McCallany, the granite-faced father-figure standout from Mindhunter and The Iron Claw, as the patriarch Harlan Buckley, whose own father was involved in the drug trade, but who has been running 'clean' businesses for a couple of decades, ever since his father's illegal activities ended in his death. Maria Bello plays Harlan's wife, Belle, who tolerates her husband's drinking and affairs, for reasons that are somewhat hard to parse. Jake Weary is his golden-boy son, Cane, a former football player and reluctant participant in all this crime who becomes the heart of the show, and Melissa Benoist is his daughter Bree, an addict in recovery who, we find out, has good reason to hate her family. Will the Buckleys, having trouble keeping their businesses in the black, get back into running drugs? You bet they will! And for the sake of the show, it's a good thing they do, because that's what brings Grady, a drug dealer played by Topher Grace, into the mix, significantly livening up the action. Grace has gotten really good at being in on the trick that his face plays on you. You see those features and think 'preppy; professional-managerial; Connecticut.' But there's something creepy about a guy that clean-cut; a Topher Grace villain knows it. Here, as Grady, Grace creates a really weird—maybe not always successful, but always interesting—villain. Topher Grace and Holt McCallany are the most recognizable actors on the show, and The Waterfront has placed them in opposition to one another, playing contrasting versions of powerful manhood. After the Buckleys eliminate the middleman they've been working with, they find Grady, who has a big drug operation set up in a farmhouse heavily populated by hired badasses, and try to do business with him. Grady at first looks like a vest-wearing tech bro, but we find out he has—as Harlan says—'no code.' We first see how disturbing he is when Grady orders his men to turn a minigun mounted on a truck on a henchman who's displeased him and is running away across a field. Grady jokes about how loud the gun is, and mocks how the guy's body jumps around as it's riddled with bullets, while Harlan stares, shocked. Grady is there to show us that some people shouldn't have power, to draw a contrast between his infatuation with it and our heroes' supposed reluctance to use it. But he's also kind of funny, which is good, because the dominant feeling you get from spending time in the world of the Buckleys is one of hungover, self-serious misery. (In that way, this show is, indeed, 'Yellowstone, but … ') Out of some sociopathic impulse of friendliness, or maybe in order to control the situation, Grady cozies up to the Buckleys, showing up at their restaurant, convincing their teenage grandson Diller (Brady Hepner) to go on a hunting trip, and directly asking Harlan if they can become like family. When Harlan, Grady, and Diller walk in a field, hunting quail, the series best gets at the contrast it's trying to draw between these two men. Grady is a guy who loves violence but doesn't really know how to use a gun. Harlan tries to teach Grady how to aim, how to be disciplined with his hunting rifle; Diller, taught by Harlan, already knows. McCallany's calm, paternal intensity, heightened by being thrown into this situation with an unpredictable and dangerous person, ramps up by the moment, until he gives off a wave of gravitas that makes you believe that indeed, Harlan is the kind of father who can be so-so, but who has (as Bree puts it) 'moments of spectacular.' But just as often, when McCallany and Grace face off, the manic energy rolling off Grady crashes into the stone-faced Harlan in a way that's less effective, giving McCallany less to do. In one scene, as the two debate the terms of their relationship, Grady describes Harlan as having 'resting stress face'; Grace pulls down the sides of his mouth, making a perfect simulacrum of McCallany's. That's funny! But it also makes Harlan into more of a caricature—something the show needs to break down, rather than build up, since it's picked such a perfect Big Daddy actor for its Big Daddy character. This first season of The Waterfront sets more tables than the waitresses at the Buckleys' seaside restaurant. We see Cane's moral dilemmas, Bree's tragic history. But the best seeds it sows are in the relationship between Harlan and Belle. Belle is the kind of wife who accepts the appearance of Harlan's out-of-wedlock son with barely a blink, but also one who tries, behind Harlan's back, to sell a piece of land in a development deal that goes against Harlan's principles but that would have gotten the family out of the drug business for good. This scheme aside, in this season, the parents are mostly on the same page. But by the end, we see that we may get a lot of McCallany vs. Bello next time around. That's a good idea. Yellowstone always suffered because John Dutton had no plausible opposition inside his family. (Jamie does not count.) If The Waterfront is about a family managing its own decline, it only makes sense that in such a family, Mom and Dad would, quite often, find themselves fighting.

Pacers fatal flaw that will doom them in NBA Finals Game 7 vs. Thunder
The post Pacers fatal flaw that will doom them in NBA Finals Game 7 vs. Thunder appeared first on ClutchPoints. For the first time in nearly a decade, the NBA Finals will be decided in a Game 7. The Indiana Pacers, riding high after a stunning Game 6 rout of the Oklahoma City Thunder, are just one win away from their first-ever NBA championship. Yet, as the basketball world turns its eyes to Oklahoma City, there's a looming flaw in Indiana's armor, one that could ultimately spell their downfall on the biggest stage. Advertisement The Pacers have proven resilient all postseason, but Game 7 presents a different beast. The Thunder, boasting a 10-2 home record in these playoffs, are heavy favorites, with oddsmakers setting the line at OKC as 7.5 to 8-point favorites. The Paycom Center will be hostile, loud, and unforgiving, a cauldron where the Thunder have thrived and where Indiana's weaknesses are often magnified. Late-Game Execution Under Pressure Kyle Terada-Imagn Images While Indiana's Game 6 performance was a masterclass in defensive intensity and balanced offense, their Achilles' heel has repeatedly surfaced in late-game scenarios, especially on the road. The Pacers have a troubling history this series of faltering in crunch time, most notably in Game 4, where they squandered a four-point lead with three minutes left, succumbing to a 12-1 Thunder run that tied the series. This collapse wasn't an isolated incident; it exposed a pattern of late-game indecision and execution lapses that have haunted Indiana throughout the Finals. Advertisement Game 7s are defined by pressure. Every possession is magnified, and the margin for error disappears. The Thunder, led by MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, have shown they can seize control in pivotal moments, especially at home. In such a high-stakes environment, Indiana's tendency to deviate from its offensive principles and lose its defensive edge in the clutch could be catastrophic. Indiana's offensive identity is built on ball movement, pace, and attacking the paint. But under the Finals spotlight, the Pacers have strayed from their strengths. In several games, minor mistakes, turnovers, rushed shots, and poor spacing, have snowballed into major problems. In Game 5, for example, a series of small errors and a lack of composure allowed the Thunder to pull away late, despite Indiana's focus on 'the little things'. Turnovers are particularly telling. When the Pacers protect the ball, as in Game 6 (just 10 turnovers), they control the tempo and keep Oklahoma City off balance. But in their losses, careless mistakes have led to fast breaks and easy points for the Thunder, swinging momentum in the blink of an eye. Thunder's Size and Defensive Versatility Another underlying issue is Indiana's struggle against OKC's size and defensive schemes. The Thunder have used their length, especially with Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein, to disrupt Indiana's rhythm, dominate the glass, and contest shots at the rim. When the Pacers are forced into a perimeter-oriented attack, their efficiency plummets. During the Finals, Indiana has made significantly fewer two-point field goals than their season average, relying more on threes out of necessity, not preference. This shift has made their offense more predictable and easier to defend. The emotional swings of this series have been dramatic. The Pacers have shown resilience, bouncing back from adversity, but the psychological weight of previous late-game failures lingers. Tyrese Haliburton's health remains a concern, as does the cumulative fatigue of a deep playoff run. In a hostile environment, mental lapses become more likely with the pressure at its peak. Thunder's Home-Court Advantage and Experience Oklahoma City is not just statistically dominant at home, they are battle-tested in high-pressure situations. As seen earlier in the playoffs, the Thunder's ability to regroup after tough losses suggests they will be better prepared for Game 7 than they were for the Game 6 blowout. The Pacers, meanwhile, must overcome both the crowd and their own history of late-game struggles. Advertisement The Pacers have the talent, depth, and heart to compete with the Thunder. But their fatal flaw—late-game execution under pressure, especially away from home—threatens to undermine everything they've built. Unless Indiana can maintain composure, avoid costly turnovers, and stick to their offensive identity in the game's most critical moments, their historic run will end in heartbreak. Game 7s are won by poise, discipline, and execution. The Pacers' inability to consistently deliver in those areas, particularly in enemy territory, is the flaw that could doom them on basketball's grandest stage.

Angel Reese's 4-word message to ex-LSU teammate after breakout game
The post Angel Reese's 4-word message to ex-LSU teammate after breakout game appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Chicago Sky have a bright future with Angel Reese leading the way. Chicago only has three wins on the 2025 season, in part due to Courtney Vandersloot's season-ending injury. Reese went out of her way to praise one of her former college teammates who had a career game on Wednesday. Advertisement Angel Reese was thrilled to see her former LSU teammate Aneesah Morrow have a breakout game against the Mercury on Wednesday night. 'PRETTY GRITTY😍 GO NEES!,' Reese posted on social media along with a post about Morrow's performance. Morrow logged 16 points, nine rebounds, and three steals in her best game of her young WNBA career. Morrow expressed excitement that all of her hard work is finally showing up on the court. 'I've been working my ass off, I'm not gonna lie,' Morrow said during an on-court interview after the game. 'I come in and I work, and I work, and you get to see it. When I'm given the opportunity it shows, for sure.' Advertisement Morrow added that she is staying 'as confident as [she] can' and has faith that the work she's put in will continue to pay off. The Sky got their third win of the season against the Sun on Sunday. Reese will have to wait until August 13th before she gets to play against Morrow and the Sun again. WNBA legend Tina Charles praises Angel Reese's 'relentless' mindset Trevor Ruszkowski-Imagn Images Angel Reese certainly has a bright future in the WNBA. So much so that one of the W's legendary players sees a little bit of herself in Reese. Connecticut Sun veteran Tina Charles said in a recent interview that Reese reminds her of her younger self. She admits that they are very different players, but sees one common trait between the two. Advertisement 'We're very different players, but I think just that relentless side of her rebounding,' Charles said per Emily Adams of the Hartford Courant. 'When I was that young, I was very relentless on the boards. I could use my athleticism and my youth to just create shots for myself, and that's one thing that I do see in Angel.' Charles made the comments after Chicago's 78-66 win against Connecticut, which featured some intense moments between the two passionate players. In that game, Reese finished with 11 points, 13 rebounds, and 11 assists, her first career triple-double. Next up for the Sky is a home game against the Mercury on Saturday afternoon.
