Jake Paul vs KSI is the big YouTube superfight that has yet to be ticked off despite all the talk of the pair fighting at some point. The longtime rivals have constantly gone back-and-forth over the years about boxing each other, but we\u2019re not really any closer to it happening. Though they \u2018agreed\u2019 to fight in 2023, KSI has admitted that he\u2019s still a long way off getting a fight with Jake and needs a few fights beforehand. Jake, though, seems more eager to do it. He offered to step in as Alex Wassabi\u2019s replacement on KSI\u2019s August 27 card, and even claimed he\u2019d do it for free. Thats a stance he seems keen to keep to as well. Jake Paul willing to take KSI fight for free \u2018The Problem Child\u2019 had rapper Rick Ross on the September 1 episode of BS with Jake Paul, when Rozay quizzed him on offering to fight KSI for free. Ross stated he couldn\u2019t allow Jake to fight without making money, but the YouTuber-turned-boxer wasn\u2019t fussed. \u201cBro, for me, this is not about the money. For history. For me knocking out this b**ch ass motherfu**er who talked all this sh*t. And if the only way he\u2019d fight me is if he made all the money? Imma do it,\u201d Jake answered. \u201cI make $20 million off the fight? Guess what, Jake Paul is not worth $20 million, I\u2019m worth a billion. So, I don\u2019t give a f**k about $20 million. For me to cement my name in the history books as one of the craziest, most psychotic fighters ever\u2026 he was willing to fight this guy on 20 days\u2019 notice for free? When he could have made $20-30 million? That\u2019s legendary.\u201d Timestamp of 44:35 While he\u2019s willing to give up the money, of course, if the pair did ever fight, Jake would be in for a handsome payday. It remains to be seen if they will square off, though. But there is still substantial interest in happening, so don\u2019t write it off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jake Paul explains why he\u2019d fight KSI for free &#038; give up $20m payday YouTube: Jake PaulJake Paul has explained why he\u2019d be willing to fight longtime rival KSI for free and forego a potential $20-$30 million boxing payday.
