Hasim Rahman Jr. lashes out at Jake Paul for not sharing any of their PPV revenue Instagram: Jake Paul \/ Instagram: hasimrahmanjrHasim Rahman Jr. has lashed out at Jake Paul\u2019s alleged motive to help \u2018increase fighter pay\u2019 across combat sports after accusing him of hoarding 100% of their upcoming PPV event revenue. When it comes to discussing fighter pay, few have been as vocal in recent years as Jake Paul. While still early into his boxing career, only now locked in to face off against his first legitimate boxing opponent, Paul has been outspoken about his desires to improve combat sports as a whole. From pitching $27 million ideas to the UFC to releasing a Dana White diss track, there\u2019s no denying he\u2019s cast a spotlight on the controversial subject. But just how far is he going to help his next opponent collect a bag? According to Rahman Jr., not far enough. After joking about \u201ccarrying\u201d the promotion for yet another event, Paul was criticized by his opponent for hoarding every dollar made through upcoming PPV sales on August 6. \u201cI\u2019m in the hospital,\u201d the social media celeb said in a July 19 post. \u201cI had an accident\u2026 I broke my back carrying the promotion for this event.\u201d Following another last-minute shuffle with Tommy Fury\u2019s abrupt exit, Paul accepted to step in against 12-1 professional Rahman Jr. Preferring to let his skills do the talking on the day, Rahman Jr. hasn\u2019t been engaging in much promotion beyond the pre-fight press conference and a handful of revealing interviews. \u201cMy opponents never sell sh*t,\u201d Paul yelled in his video. \u201cI broke my back carrying the last five fights. These motherf**kers never sell sh*t, they couldn\u2019t sell a pen to a writer.\u201d Responding directly to this callout, Rahman Jr. broke his silence to expose the alleged hypocrisy of his opponent. \u201cMr. Increase Fighters Pay,\u201d he called him sarcastically in an Instagram story. \u201cMaybe if I wasn\u2019t getting 0% of the PPV you\u2019d have some help. Don\u2019t blame me dumb***.\u201d If his comments hold true, not only is Rahman Jr. unable to earn any PPV bonuses if the event performs well, but he\u2019s also at risk of losing his entire fight purse due to strict weight-cut clauses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
