Disappointed fighters who were set to feature on the undercard of Jake Paul 's event at Madison Square Garden will be remunerated after the show was cancelled.
Paul, 25, was due to face Hasim Rahman Jr. in what would have been his first test against an active professional boxer. However, the YouTuber -turned-boxer confirmed one week prior to the event that the fight would no longer go ahead, citing Rahman's failure to meet weight limits as the reason.
Legions of social media spectators questioned what that would mean for an undercard comprising fights with Amanda Serrano, Brandun Lee and Ashton Sylve. Each of those fighters are in talks to complete their bouts at a later date, but Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) co-founder Paul said in a statement that all others combatants will receive 50 per cent of their contract's value.
