Jake Paul Admits Money Motivated Him to Take Up Boxing: ‘There Is No Money Like Boxing Money’

Jake Paul ranks among the biggest boxing maestros of the modern era. In no time, ‘The Problem Child’ has garnered massive attention around him and he’s going super-strong with the same even today.

Prior to boxing, Paul already had an exemplary career in the entertainment world. And he was unquestionably turning into a huge fan-favorite star. Despite that, the young gun transitioned his focus to the sport of boxing, as the money behind it primarily motivated him.

Speaking to True Geordie on the same, Paul said, “At the end of the day, I’ve always been an entrepreneur, I’ve always been a businessman. There is no money like boxing money.”

“For people to say, for boxers to say, ‘oh the money doesn’t drive me here or whatever they’re gonna say ‘ I do because I’ve been fighting my whole life. That’s cool, a lot of that’s true but, this is a big business at the end of the day,”

Over the past few months, Paul has created a massive buzz around him. He primarily broke into the news headlines after a thrilling win over former NBA star, Nate Robinson.

After the fight, ‘The Problem Child’ took a dig at some bigwigs like the former UFC double champ, Conor McGregor, his teammate Dillon Danis and the veteran, Ben Askren.

He even called these fighters out for a full-fledged boxing match. That said, Paul will confront one such opponent on his hit list, Ben Askren on April 17.
