Jake Paul offered $10million towards fight purse to secure next boxing opponent

Rapper Rick Ross is offering prospective opponents for Jake Paul a further $10million on top of their fight purse.

The iconic musician, who collaborated on Paul's rival KSI's Top 10 single Down Like That, was filming an episode of Paul's new podcast BS with Jake Paul when he shared a picture on his Instagram page of the duo. There, he declared that he would be willing to help make the YouTuber-turned-boxer's next fight happen with an eight-figure investment.

Paul was supposed to fight earlier this month, his first scheduled bout being against Tommy Fury before the Brit was deemed unable to travel to America. Then he drafted in heavyweight Hasim Rahman Jr to replace his rival but he was unable to make the contracted cruiserweight limit and the event was pulled entirely.
