Midnight Mania! Hasim Rahman Jr. tells Jake Paul to focus, forget the silly side-bets

Hey Maniacs, let’s get into one other day of issues that went down within the strange world of fight sports activities.

First up, it’s that man once more — Jake Paul. , we may be very near seeing him lastly get his comeuppance. Regardless of yesterday’s fears that Hasim Rahman Jr. may fall out of his August 6 date with Paul, the whole lot now appears to be set.

Rahman is in contrast to anybody Paul has confronted to this point in his younger boxing profession. For one, Rahman is an precise boxer. He’s obtained a 12-1 professional file. None of Paul’s previous opponents had professional boxing expertise. The one fighter he confronted who didn’t have a 0-0 file is Tyron Woodley of their rematch (he was 0-1 with a break up choice loss to Paul on his file).

Rahman has additionally proven that, in contrast to Paul’s earlier opponents, he’s not getting drawn into the circus nature of a Paul brother boxing present. And that seems to be getting below Paul’s pores and skin.

In his bouts with Woodley, and his aborted struggle with Tommy Fury, Paul has proven that he likes to make prankish side-bets together with his opponent. This result in the overly-long saga involving Woodley finally getting Paul’s name tattooed on his body.

Earlier than Fury pulled out of their first struggle, it was reported that the British boxer and actuality star had agreed to change his name to ‘Tommy Fumbles’ if Paul beat him.

At their press convention immediately Paul desperately tried to get Rahman to conform to some form of wager. However Rahman wasn’t having any of it.

After Rahman turned down a $500,000 money wager, Paul tried to get extra artistic.

“Let’s make a wager proper now,” Paul yelled (ht MMA Fighting).

“I’m not about to wager no cash. I don’t wager cash,” Rahman answered.

“Broke ass – let’s wager this: After I beat you, it’s a must to change your Instagram identify to ‘I let my dad down,’” Paul stated.

“Jake — I’m not entertaining you,” Rahman Jr. responded. “Deal with Aug. 6. This ain’t about no wager. That is about you.”

Regardless of his resistance, Rahman did appear to love the concept of forcing Paul to vary his Instagram deal with. “What are you going to vary [your Instagram name] to,” he requested.

“You decide, I don’t give a fuck,” Paul replied.

Rahman’s resistance to taking up a side-bet, or feeding right into a carnival environment for the struggle actually appeared to annoy Paul. Later within the presser he claimed Rahman was headed for obscurity after their showdown at Madison Sq. Backyard.

“This would be the final time anyone hears from you,” he stated. “It has to do with how a lot you receives a commission, that’s why I’m the very best paid boxer — as a result of I’ve essentially the most followers in boxing.”

“He don’t wish to make the wager,” Paul added. “He’s all powerful. Take a look at these huge previous arms. He’s so huge and robust, he’s going to knock me out, I haven’t fought no person, however he received’t make the fucking wager. Pussy motherfucker proper right here.”

Paul and Rahman had been former sparring companions. They’re doing a superb job of constructing us suppose that their struggle on August 6 will embrace loads of animosity, although. Does this late opponent change, and Paul’s frustration with him, make you extra prone to tune in? Tell us within the feedback.
