Jake Paul sued for $100 million over boxing match-fixing claims YouTube: Jake PaulJake Paul has landed himself in some hot water after making match-fixing claims about a judge on Matchroom Boxing events, and he could lose over $100 million for it. As he\u2019s made waves in the world of boxing, Jake Paul has kept true to the outspoken persona that helped him rise up the ranks on YouTube and social media. The \u2018Problem Child\u2019 isn\u2019t afraid to say he\u2019ll knock another fighter out, or criticize the quality of another fight, but he\u2019s taken things to a new level recently. Jake appeared in a now-deleted IFL TV interview, where he made claims about a judge \u2013 Glenn Feldman \u2013 being corrupt due to his scorecards. Feldman scored in favor of Katie Taylor, when the Irish fighter took on Amanda Serrano \u2013 who is represented by Jake\u2019s MVP brand. He also had Anthony Joshua outscoring Oleksandr Usyk in their recent rematch, which irked Jake. Jake Paul being sued for $100 million over boxing corruption claims \u201cThis type of s*it, I\u2019m going to call it out here in boxing because it\u2019s bulls**t. Clearly, this guy is getting paid money by Matchroom Boxing,\u201d the YouTuber-turned-boxer said about Feldman\u2019s scoring. That claim has, naturally, been refuted by Matchroom Boxing\u2019s Eddie Hearn via a YouTube interview, and Jake looks to be being sued for over $100 million as a result. \u201cBoth legally and ethically there is a clear line separating opinion from defamatory lies. Jake Paul knows that, and he purposely crossed that line when he wrongly accused Matchroom Boxing and Eddie Hearn of fixing fights,\u201d Matchroom lawyer Frank Salzano told TMZ Sports. \u201cNonetheless he was still given an opportunity to retract his defamatory statements and refused to. Now he will face the legal consequences of his actions as Matchroom and Mr. Hearn will be seeking damages in well excess of $100 million given the value and goodwill attached to the Matchroom business and the harmful nature of Mr. Paul\u2019s comments.\u201d As it stands, there isn\u2019t a court case on the docket for the claims just yet, but it likely won\u2019t be long before that is the case as, according to ESPN, Hearn\u2019s team are seeking a jury trial. Though, it remains to be seen if it\u2019ll end up with a hefty payout or if Jake will issue an official, legal apology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
