Why did Logan Paul reject Wiz Khalifa’s offer?

On the podcast, Khalifa was talking about another collaboration when Paul asked him if they could do some venture together. Following this, the ‘See You Again’ singer offered Paul a chance to fight in the PFL for a whopping $1 million. “let’s get it, bro, we want you in the PFL. Come fight for a million dollars bro,” said Khalifa.

However, Paul went on to reject the offer, claiming that he would need more than that amount to think about competing under Khalifa’s promotion. “I’m gonna need more than that,” said Paul. This left the rapper dumbfounded, who sarcastically agreed with ‘The Maverick’.

This was a hilarious way to respond to Paul, as he would not have wanted to compete with professional fighters in an MMA contest. However, Khalifa is certainly open to the possibility of the YouTuber competing under his promotion.

It seems that the rapper is open to signing either of the Paul brothers under PFL. In an interview with TMZ Khalifa revealed that it would be great if ‘The Problem Child’ fought in the league. He also added that Paul bought in a lot of excitement and audiences with him. “It will be tight if he fought for PFL. He [Jake Paul] is a cool guy. So wherever he ends up, he is gonna bring a lot of excitement. Oh hell yeah (I would sign him)” he said.

Paul does bring in a lot of eyes wherever he competes. However, with the organization currently filled with elite professional fighters, Jake might have a hard time competing with the pros. In addition, his boxing career is starting to take off after a disappointing last year.
