“Tell my son to don’t run away. To meet his daddy. There is no way out. I got $30 million, winner takes all.” Belfort texted Helwani.

Paul responded to the message right then and called out Belfort and other MMA fighters for their ‘poor boxing skills’.

He said, “Cool, put it into escrow. No problem. Let’s see the proof of funds in escrow. The notion that these MMA fighters think that I’m scared of them is funny or like I’m running away from them. Like dude, I’ve fought 4 times in the past 2 years.”

“You can’t even really fight more than that if you’re doing big fights. I’m going back to back to back on these bit*h a*s MMA fighters. Like line them up, I will take all of them down. You guys cannot box, I out-boxed a 5-time UFC fu*king champion.”
