Jake Paul has been told he possesses similar business skills to boxing legend Floyd Mayweather.
The YouTube star is preparing for his seventh professional bout which will take place on February 26 in Saudi Arabia against bitter rival Tommy Fury. Paul is having an increasing influence in the sport, where he has been working on both sides of the ropes to build his profile and continue his role as a self-proclaimed disruptor.
During the early stages of his career, Paul has generated significant earnings from his pay-per-view fights despite only having fought former MMA fighters including Anderson Silva and Tyron Woodley. And boxing trainer Teddy Atlas believes Paul has been selecting his opponents in a similar way to the former undefeated champion so far in his professional stint.
