Overview
- Paul reiterated that any current NFL opponent must place $1 million in escrow and travel to his Puerto Rico gym for an unsanctioned bout overseen by an official referee.
- After Paul detailed rules such as 10-ounce gloves, no headgear, three-minute rounds and fighting until one man quits, Le’Veon Bell responded by telling him to send the contract.
- Paul later added flexibility by dropping judges, allowing Bell to choose the referee and offering boxing or MMA, with a potential date floated for next weekend.
- Active players including Buffalo’s Dion Dawkins and Green Bay’s Micah Parsons signaled interest, with Dawkins sharing training clips and Parsons saying he’ll engage once healthy.
- Paul says players prefer a promoter-backed event with guaranteed pay, but he insists on a high-stakes gym fight, and as of now no promoter-sanctioned or scheduled matchup has been confirmed.
