Fight cancelled
The boxing pay-per-view card, titled Jake Paul and Hasim Rahman Jr., for August 6, has been canceled due to a weight issue with Rahman, Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) wrote in a statement on Saturday night.
The event was to be held at Madison Square Garden, New York.
According to the MVP statement, Rahman’s camp told Paul’s team on Saturday morning that Rahman planned to weigh 215 pounds this coming Friday. Rahman had originally signed a contract for the bout at ÂŁ200, and the statement said that Paul was willing to settle for the fight for ÂŁ205. The MVP statement said Rahman’s camp stated that his fighter would have pulled out of the fight if it had not been for the 215-pounder.
“The MVP and Jake Paul will not reward anyone who has carried themselves out in such a deceitful and calculated manner,” the statement read. “Therefore, the MVP is left with no choice but to cancel the August 6 event. This forced result affects Jake Paul, Amanda Serrano and every other fighter on the card who have worked tirelessly over the past few months for the event. The boxing community must blame Hasim Rahman Jr. for his lack of professionalism.”
Cancelled
Jake Paul vs Hasim Rahman Jr has been canceled due to actions that the publicity is calling “cheating and calculating”.
According to Most Valuable Promotion, Rahman honestly did not maintain his weight and requested several times that the bout be shifted to the heavier weight category. The boxing scene first broke the news on Saturday.
“The MVP and Jake Paul will not reward anyone who has conducted himself in such a deceitful and calculated manner,” read Saturday’s press release.
The bout at Madison Square Garden in New York had to be canceled a week before.
The promotion claimed that Rahman had originally agreed to a 200-pound cruiserweight bout and provided evidence to the New York State Athletic Commission (NYSAC), weighing 216 pounds, on July 7.
