Comments Thread For: Jake Paul vs. Hasim Rahman Jr. Canceled Due To Weight Issues

[joe strong]

How the *** was Rahman going to make the CW limit? I think Paul should of looked elsewhere. Not sure Rahman is to blame here. That was a lot to ask of a guy who has been in the 270 range at one point. There must be a CW willing to fight him… Tony Bellew should come out of retirement for this. Believe you me he could beat Jake Paul & his meat at the same time…

The whole card has been cancelled. I’d like to know who decided to cancel the fight. Jake Paul was seemingly willing to allow Rahman to weigh in at 205, so the fight would’ve been in the heavyweight division. Did Jake change his mind or did Rahman get cold feet, fearing he would get beat by a small Cruiserweight youtuber who only has 5 fights with old, shot MMA fighters?? This would have been a great opportunity for Rahman. He would’ve had many advantages over Jake Paul. Which guy pulled out of this fight?

This is the best thing that could have happened. The fight was going to bomb on PPV and at MSG because Rahman Jr.’s whining and complaining was sucking all the appeal out of it. If Paul is smart, a) he’ll wait for JCC Jr. to get out of rehab,, b) wait for Nate Diaz to take his butt-whipping in his UFC finale, or c) go to the UK and settle the Tommy Fury drama once and for all. By no means should it be d) reschedule the fight with Rahman Jr.

All these clowns blaming Jake Paul are morons. Rahman Jr. signed a contract. Rahman Jr. is unprofessional and is the reason the fight is canceled. If the guy can fight at 211 and 215lbs. not that long ago then 200lbs. shouldn't be too bad. The guy talked all that shit and then cried 215lbs. like an unprofessional b!tch at the last minute. Rahman Jr. failed to hold up his end of the contract.

Imagine being a fully grown adult and being “outraged” over a Jake Paul fight.

Lmao

The money was enticing, but Rahman Jr should've never agreed to do this to begin with. Losing that much weight in a single month is very dangerous.

Paul is a clown..

They knew Rahman could never safely make that weight, what a clown show SHO has become.

[richardt]

Rahman should have never agreed and Paul should have never offered it at a reduced weight.

You clearly are clueless to the sport of boxing and the facets of safely cutting weight.. it’s a reason the NYSAC refused to even let the fight take place at 200 pounds, that was absolutely absurd to begin with.

The leap in logic here is astounding. He "fought" at 211, or 215, but remember this was last second. He was probably walking around much heavier than that before he got the call. I don't defend Rahman not holding up his end of the bargain, he should have never agreed to fight in the first place, but it's not a joke to lose that much weight in a month.

Don't sign on to fight then! It's not Jake Paul's fault that Rahman Jr. signed the contract then refused to lose the weight! Rahman Jr. was at 215lbs. UFC guys cut 25lbs. ffs. The leap in logic to blame Jake Paul for Rahman is astounding! Clown logic 101
