Fighter Pay Activist Jake Paul Says Hasim Rahman Jr. Set to Make 10x More Money Than His Last Fight

It is no secret that athletes earn exorbitant amounts of money. However, not everyone is entitled to that wealth. There has been a long-standing wage disparity in the world of combat sports. However, the YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul is planning on changing the entire industry.

The Ohio-born fighter has always been vocal about his issues with fighter pay in boxing. Hence, he tried to bring about a change all by himself.

Jake Paul always advocated that fighters should be paid what they deserve and for this effect he has made sure his promotion company, Most Valuable Promotions, helps fighters earn a lot of money that is rightfully theirs.

According to Paul, his next fight is no different as he claimed that his opponent, Hasim Rahman Jr. will earn “10x more than what he got in his last fight.” Furthermore, he also stated that not only Rahman but every main card under ‘MVP’ pay-per-views has earned significant amounts of money.
