After replacing Tommy Fury for his fight against Jake Paul on August 6 at Madison Square Gardens, Hasim Rahman Jr is reported to have thrown the fight into some doubt after making demands about the purse for the fight.
The contract has been signed for the fight to take place as the co-headline fight alongside Amanda Serrano vs Brenda Carbajal on the fight card at the iconic venue in New York. However, the new revelations throw the whole event into some doubt after the pay issues, with The Mirror reporting that Paul is willing to scrap the whole card if his new opponent pulls out.
The son of former heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman was brought in to replace Fury following his visa issues and has a record of 12-1. Paul claims that the 31-year-old is being paid more than ten times what he has previously been for his fights in the past and is demanding more than 30 times his previous pay for this fight, having previously agreed the lower figure.
