Comments Thread For: Rahman Jr. Blames Jake Paul For Cancellation: It's Not Me Pulling Out; Jake Paul Is Scared To Fight

[ippo]

Why couldn't they have pushed the fight back like a month or two to get his weight down? I only wanna see Paul fight a real boxer not another youtuber or no hoper.

Wrong. Rahman asked for the fight too, making that statement null/void

I don't follow your logic but I don't really care to try either. Cheers.

I think all this weight talk is a smokescreen. The fight was probably canceled due to poor ticket sales. People are rapidly losing interest in the Jake Paul circus.

Jake Paul has weighed 189-191lbs in all 5 fights. He was doing Rahman Jr a favor allowing him to come in at 205lbs. Paul is the A-side, Rahman Jr doesn’t call the shots or is in any position to make ultimatums. He just lost the biggest paycheck of his career.

Why? He isn’t a pro level boxer. If it is just to see him get KO’ed, I get it. But if it’s to see if he’s good or bad…I don’t get it, because he isn’t good.

I hate to say it, but Rahman agreed to a weight and couldn't make it. How is this Jake Paul's fault?

When you (Rahman Jr.) ask for a fight with a much smaller guy (Paul) and he grants the fight with weight stipulation and you accept and then can't make the weight, that's on you.

And I do see your bias logic and I still don't care. Cheers

Not sure why Rahman was selected as an opponent other than the name recognition from his father. Based on his physique against Morrison, it shouldn't come as a surprise he had issues losing another 20 or so pounds in 3 and half weeks.

I have a feeling they could have found an acceptable LHW or a CW to fill in once Fury was no longer an option. Nobody was coming to see Rahman, Jr so why not get an alternate that would be able to make the requested weight?
