Paul and Manager Speak on Rematch Likelihood

Speaking about a possible rematch to ESPN, Paul did not appear confident of it happening: “I don’t think so to be honest. I think he is a lot of things – one of which is not very serious about the fight and making it happen, and two, unrealistic in terms of offer and finances. He thinks he is his brother in terms of what he’s worth, but that’s not how it works, brother.”

He added: “There is a fear of losing and being unrealistic about losing. We all know people price themselves out and hide behind that if they don’t want to fight. I’m on a mission to become world champion. All doors for Tommy lead to me. I can do whatever I want.”

His manager then spoke about the offer that was made to Fury, which involved a two-fight deal, one in the boxing ring, and a rematch in the cage: “He said he’s willing to fight Jake in boxing, and if he wins, he’s willing to fight in the smart cage. We’ve offered him a payday close to eight figures. It’s close to 20 million dollars money to re-engage in the Jake Paul competition, effectively.”
