Jake Paul admits he will scrap his August 6 event at Madison Square Garden if short-notice replacement Hasim Rahman Jr pulls out of their fight over pay issues.
Paul was scheduled to fight Love Island star Tommy Fury on the card, but the Brit was unable to provide Paul with proof that he could travel to the US after being turned away when travelling to the press conference. Rahman stepped in on a month's notice to fight the YouTube star, but Paul revealed the heavyweight is demanding more money despite having already signed a fight contract.
Rahman, who holds a record of 12-1, is the son of former heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman. Paul claimed that he is being paid over ten times any of his previous fight purses, but he is demanding to be paid at least thirty times the amount of his biggest previous fight purse. Paul is getting restless with the hassle and said he won't fight on August 6 if the pay issue can't be resolved.
