Comments Thread For: Rahman Comes In Overweight In Attempt To Show He Could've Made 205 For Jake Paul Fight

This reeks of Jake P's PR team trying to save face. The dude was not even going to have to make weight. If he could make 206.5 easy without cutting, he would have been fine shedding another 1.5#. I call BS on Paul's team.

Rahman is a disrespectful loser, just like his father.

His father was the lineal heavyweight champion of the world and a 2X world heavyweight titlist.

The only thing that reeks is your bias ignorance.

He had an incredible team of nutritionists, physicians and weight loss specialists who devised a plan that he was following to a T. The last few days he was bouncing between 212-215 pounds. He let me know that he was feeling extremely weak and dizzy and did not believe he was going to be able to make 205 pounds without putting himself in harm’s way.

Rather than BS anybody I contacted MVP and was transparent. Junior was willing to fight Jake for zero purse (but still with money coming from his sponsors) and stick to the second-day weigh-in agreed upon weight, but knew he would not be able to make 205 pounds.

Greg Cohen is Rahmans Promoter.

Clown Rahman is just clout chasing and the PBChype YT channel is assisting him at this.
Almighty doesn't wanna share the SHO budget with Jake.

Incorrect.

This is the available seats an hour before it was cancelled. From what I gather, the 100's section which is closer to the ring hosts 20 seats per row and the circle in the upper nosebleed rafters can have 40 seats per row. If you try and do the math, there isn't a lot of seats left with a week left to go. All shows if there are some seats left, the give them away on fight night. The arena would have been packed full.

To be fair, you're misinformed.

He has no proof because it doesn't exist.



Anything over 205 under the new contract and guidelines, the fight is off.

Oh well..... Back to the regular scheduled boxing program

How do you know he could make it easy? He had to get completely naked to make 206. And he used his own scale. If it's so easy why didn't he go down to the full 205?

I think 1.6 lbs for that bodyweight is easy to shed. That's like 30 minutes in the sauna.

I feel like weight wasn't the issue, I feel like they're using that as an excuse for more drama and more promotion and that they didn't want to fight now because the interest in the fight wasn't where it should or could be. If the fight still happened next, that would in a way prove this theory.
