Jake Paul Says He Can Pay $200 Million for Canelo Fight

No independent confirmation leaves the matchup uncertain.

Overview

  • Paul, in a Kick livestream Wednesday, said Canelo Alvarez asked for $200 million for a bout and claimed he has the money ready.
  • He added that Alvarez said he was “down” on a phone call, though the clip shared by Happy Punch does not include Alvarez confirming it.
  • Neither Alvarez nor his promoters or any sanctioning body has confirmed talks or terms for the matchup.
  • Paul is still recovering from a broken jaw suffered in a December knockout loss to Anthony Joshua and has questioned whether he will fight again.
  • Recent reports link Alvarez to a WBC super middleweight title challenge against Christian M’billi, and Paul’s lack of a current ranking raises questions about whether any bout would be a sanctioned fight or an exhibition.
