Jake Paul responded to Canelo Alvarez's decision to pass up a potential bout with the YouTube star by accusing the Mexican boxing icon of being motivated by money. Paul claimed that Alvarez was being paid hundreds of millions of dollars by 'shady characters' to prevent their fight from happening, suggesting that they were unable to create a bigger spectacle than a matchup between the two.
The response came after Turki Alalshikh, the head of Riyadh Season and the General Entertainment Authority of Saudi Arabia, announced a four-fight deal with Alvarez. The first fight is scheduled to take place in May in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with the possibility of a second fight against Terence Crawford in Las Vegas.
