KSI 's manager has accused Jake Paul of avoiding a fight with the Brit as the war of words between the two YouTube rivals continues.
Paul went back and forth on Twitter with KSI over his upcoming fight against Hasim Rahman Jr on August 6. KSI scolded Paul for charging fans $60 for the fight whilst Paul hit back at the Brit by boasting about earning $45million last year. Paul has now claimed that KSI reached out to him to help promote his boxing return against Alex Wassabi on August 27.
"Out of respect for Alex I won’t expose you," Paul wrote. "But you know what’s going on. You know what you and your team have asked me to do to help sell your “fight”. You need me to build your hype. I advise your opponent. Let that sink in." KSI's manager Mams Taylor has now rubbished the claim whilst telling Paul not to "s*** his panties" when he sees the Brit again.

"Utter BS! I asked for you to be there so you can witness your client get mauled and s*** your panties again like you did last time in the hallway & to start hyping the inevitable fight with KSI. We don’t need u to sell tickets or PPV but your MSG seat plan shows that you do," Taylor wrote back to Paul.
The meeting Taylor is referring to took place before KSI's rematch against Jake's brother Logan in 2019. KSI walked down a hallway whilst telling Jake, who was standing to the side, "Don't be nervous Jake, don't be nervous man". Jake replied: "No you're good, we're good." Paul and KSI were touted to fight each other several years ago, but the clash never materialised after KSI took three years away from the ring.
Taylor also took aim at reports that 17,000 seats have been sold for Paul's fight with Rahman at Madison Square Garden next month. "17k has not been sold," he wrote. "What the hell is wrong with you guys!! It’s barely 50% sold out. These numbers are about as real as Rahman noodles followers Jake bought him!"
Paul's promotional company Most Valuable Promotions signed Wassabi after he outpointed KSI's brother Deji in March. It marked Wassabi's first fight at any level, whilst KSI has competed twice before having taking on Logan in a white-collar fight in 2018 with their 2019 rematch being a professional bout.
