Jake Paul has once again hit out at Saul “Canelo” Alvarez. On this occasion, the fighter and influencer pointed out that the Mexican pugilist is threatened not to accept a fight.
A few months ago, Canelo signed a two-year contract with Turki Alalshikh for four fights, three of them in Saudi Arabia
Jake Paul points out that Canelo Alvarez would lose $300 million if he accepts to fight him
Jake pointed out that this situation is what prevents the Mexican from fighting him. The influencer even said that Alvarez was threatened by Alalshikh to lose $300 million if he accepted Jake Paul.
It was during the broadcast of the MMA Hour program that Jake Paul mentioned Turki Alalshikh, chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority and one of the most popular boxing promoters today. Jake sought a fight against Alvarez, as it would be an economic success for both parties, but there were threats for this not to happen.
What did Jake Paul say?
“They told him that if he fought me, they would cancel his contract. I understand, he had to protect the future of his family. When you invest billions in boxing and you’re not the one organizing the biggest events, but there’s a guy doing it without putting in a dollar, you’ll do whatever it takes to stop him,” Paul said.
The one directly pointed out is the promoter Turki, although Jake always expressed his desire to be able to fight against Canelo. According to him, the $300 million contract was what prevented everything: “I would have beaten him for sure, he’s finished.”
