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

[JohnnyRebel]

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 NYSAC bumped it to 205lbs., Jake Paul's team said ok and sent a new contract, then Rahman Jr. refused and said 215lbs. You are clueless of the unprofessional bullshit that team Rahman was doing or you knew but are still acting dumb. Blaming Jake Paul for Rahman Jr. is clown logic 101. Rahman Jr. shouldn't agree to things if he can't fulfill his commitment and refuses to.

NYSAC did the right thing here. Looks like they had weekly weigh ins all along.

We were never told Rahman's starting weight. He last fought in April at 224. Jake Paul knew his starting weight or knew whatever Rahman told them when they baited him for info pretending they wanted to hire him to spar.


Jake is a ***ing joke for playing all these games. He claims he is such an amazing fighter but there is all this BS around carefully picking his opponents, he was desperate to fight Tyson and desperate to fight his sparring partners. Then when he couldnt find a dance partner the first go around with Tyson he went for the rematch with Nate.

It all just shows you how deadly afraid they are that the match making would go wrong. In real boxing terms, Jake is the "A" side, meaning he should be able to find an opponent easily. But he needs a hand selected opponent who will either dive or pull their punches ect.

Wow, this is bullshit! The agreement was 200 and because Ramen Noodles is having a hard time, the NYSAC is stepping in to give him a helping hand!?!?

Paul should call it off, this is an outrage. Can anybody say they've ever seen something like this happen before in the sport of boxing??

NYSAC tentatively sanctioned the fight and had weekly weigh ins. They reserve the right to unsanction it at any time. If Jake didnt play these ****** games and fight an actual boxer in his weight class we wouldnt be here would we. Are there really no cruiserweight boxers out there? just none that Jake is willing to fight.....

HRJ's team was like
''We can do it, no problem. On schedule.''

End of the day, HRJ didn't have to sign the contract.

Paul vs Nate Diaz next I bet . That Danis dude said he’s healthy. Not really a Paul fan, but I’d love to see him beat Danis pillar to post

Jake knew what they were doing and knew there was a high risk he couldnt make weight, that is what they wanted a guy who could barely make weight.

I didnt even know Rahman had a son who boxed until a month ago. Jake is supposed to be the A side star, the whole event fell through because he is desperate to hand pick an opponent for his charade.

I cannot place all or even most of the blame on a showtime PPV event falling through because of Rahman Jr whom I didnt even know existed until Paul said he was fighting him.


Jake could actually replace him with any C level light heavyweight who could fight him in a week with no training camp, but that isnt happening, he would get starched out.

well if you didn’t know Rahman had a son, you definitely didn’t know about his other son Sharif Rahman @ 154. Much better prospect & also was shocked by his big bros pull out today.

If an adult person with 90% of their marbles signs a contract, excuses go in the toilet.
If that signed contract says the loser has to perform oral on the winner, oh well.

I am by no means defending JP.
Just saying a signed contract pretty much leaves no room for excuses.

The entire boxing world was giving Jake credit for picking Ramen, but you? Nope, still playing games lol. My guy, he's got 5 fights, take a chill on fighting a big threat.

He was looking for a name to sell the show and Ramen been as low as 213. He got to 217 and just gave up. Bradley called it: Ramen isn't dedicated to the sport. Opportunity of a lifetime and blows it being a fatass.
