Hasim Rahman Jr insists he "isn't fighting Jake Paul for the money", and will be paid less than any of the YouTuber's other five opponents.
Paul was due to face Tommy Fury in his sixth professional fight at Madison Square Garden, with the selling point of the bout that he would finally be taking on a "real boxer" due to the Brit's 8-0 record. But after pulling out in December with a broken rib, the Love Island star was again forced to skip the fight due to travel issues.
And Rahman Jr saved the pay-per-view event from being cancelled by stepping up on short notice, offering an even more impressive 12-1 professional record. But Paul's Most Valuable Promotions won't be paying him anything close to the $2million that Fury was rumoured to make, with the American claiming he will make considerably less.
