YouTuber turned boxer, Jake Paul, has tried his luck in getting fights with ‘real boxers’. However, his wish remained unfulfilled as fights with Tommy Fury and Hasim Rahman Jr. Paul recently revealed that these canceled fights cost him ‘millions of dollars’.

Paul was talking in his latest vlog, on his channel, while aboard a private jet. The main focus was his upcoming fight with Anderson Silva. But, in conversation, he also opened up about his canceled fight with Rahman Jr. He mentioned how his father, Hasim Rahman, mentioned that Rahman Jr. does not work hard during the press conference. And, that he underperformed.

Paul further added, “I was ready, training for 120 days in a row. Finished up camp. And, it just gets pulled from under my feet. I am devastated.”

Moreover, he also revealed that he lost a lot of money due to the canceled fights. Paul said, “Between Tommy and Hasim. They’ve cost me and my partners, Madison Square Garden, Showtime, Most Valuable Promotions, millions and millions of dollars. This kid doesn’t want to fight.”
