Do you know what you could do with $60, with $60 you can go to a nice restaurant, go to the O2 to watch me annihilate Alex Wassabi. You could even buy my pay-per-view and still have money left over to buy snacks, or drinks or whatever the fu** you want. You can literally buy Prime, buy sides and watch the pay-per-view, all in the comfort of your own home. Like it was crazy, Jake Paul was literally robbing his audience. And some of his audience would actually pay for that, that’s the sad thing. Some poor souls spending money getting scammed by this guy.”
