Turning this down is a L for Ngannou
He got $10m for Fury and $20m for Joshua, he could have probably doubled the total of both those fights and got the pleasure of being the first to really embarrass Paul
Take a principled stand while more heralded boxers who have earned way more than you gladly take the money brehs :francis:
I honestly don’t know if the money is that much for Ngannou, especially after he was knocked clean out before. If it was an offer he couldn’t refuse he probably would’ve taken it even with BS clauses. I can’t see them offering more than $5 million with limited promo time.

Joshua doesn’t have anything going on and he’s a much bigger name, so a quick $10+ million payday for a 3 week training camp is worth it for him

I know he was tight when he saw that AJ took the fight

Jake Paul never paid his dues the only active professional boxer he fought was Tommy Fury he should have at least fought a few journeymen at cruiserweight before getting a shot at AJ but it looks like he skipped the queue. At least fight Derrick Chisora at the bare minimum.

Jake Paul also isn’t 6’1 :mjlol: he was looking eye to eye with Tyson and is quite a bit shorter than his 6’2 brother.
