Weeks After Raising $35,000,000 Million, Jake Paul Throws $100M Fight Offer at Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg

Jake Paul, the YouTuber turned professional boxer, has been making waves in the boxing world for quite some time. He is well-known for his blunt call-outs to elite MMA fighters. However, Paul has now switched his attention to tech titans Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg and proposed a lucrative $100 million fight offer. His offer comes after the Ohio native made an impression on the business world by raising $35 million for his $300 million firm.

Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk informally agreed to fight inside a cage a few weeks ago. The battle proposal quickly went viral, and several major MMA figures, including UFC president Dana White, champions Jon Jones, Israel Adesanya, Alexander Volkanovski, and others, entered the picture.

Not wanting to feel alone, ‘The Problem Child’ also revealed his thoughts on the anticipated mega fight. Paul proposed a venue and a monetary value for the battle while pledging to make it a reality.

What did Jake Paul say about Elon Musk vs. Mark Zuckerberg?

The Ohio-based boxer discussed the current hot subject in the combat sports world, Musk vs. Zuckerberg, in his most recent video released to his YouTube channel BS w/ Jake Paul Clips.

Keeping true to his image, ‘The Problem Child’ immediately got down to business. He promised the billionaires an astounding $100 million if they were to take their fight to the Middle East and also donate their fortunes to charity. Paul said:

“I have a $100 million offer for Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg to take this fight to the Middle East, to promote it, to put it on for charity. Can guarantee $100 million to charity. We wanna get involved and help make this a reality.”

‘The Problem Child’ frequently speaks about money, and why wouldn’t he? At 26 years of age, the Ohio native is making millions from boxing. Apart from that, He also generates a lot of money from his other enterprises, which include a boxing promotion and a betting firm.

Paul hits the $35 million milestone with his venture

While Jake Paul is taking the high roads in boxing, he is also making major strides as an entrepreneur. Paul, together with popular betting personality Joey Levy, created the sports betting venture ‘Betr’ in August of last year.

The company was already generating a fortune in the betting industry. However, according to sources, the firm recently surpassed the $300 million value after raising $35 million.

Thus, it is safe to say that Paul is using his millions wisely to boost his net worth further. Talking about his boxing career, the YouTube star will soon be back in action against UFC veteran Nate Diaz this August.
