Eddie Hearn has echoed UFC president Dana White's theory that Jake Paul's fight was cancelled due to poor ticket sales.
Paul was set to face Rahman Jr in his sixth professional fight at Madison Square Garden this weekend, but the fight was shelved at late notice. The YouTube star accused his rival of failing to cooperate with their agreed 205lb weight limit, and believes his rival planned to tip the scales at 215lb at Friday's weigh-in.
White explained his theory as to why the fight was cancelled, when he said: "I think they sold under $1million in tickets and it costs $500,000 to turn the f***ing lights on at MSG. That’s what I think. Not to mention hotel rooms in New York and transportation is very expensive."
