So he signed a contract to fight me at 200 pounds and was going to cut the weight down to 200 pounds. From the jump, I knew in the bottom of my heart that this guy didn’t want to get in there with me. We’re going to have to change this fight to 205 pounds. Do you want to do the fight still?’ I said, ‘No problem. From the jump, I knew in the bottom of my heart that this guy didn’t want to get in there with me. The commission wanted to track his weight cut to make sure he was doing it in a healthy way. He’s a big guy with a ton of weight to lose. Paul echoed much of what the initial news release from his promotion, Most Valuable Promotions said. While Paul initially issued a brief written comment, he dove more in-depth in a pair of videos uploaded to social media. According to Most Valuable Promotions, Hasim Rahman Jr. deceived the promotion, commission, and Paul about his weight.

He tweeted claiming that Paul and his team had cancelled the fight rather than him, with it being called off ‘on their terms’.

UFC president Dana White has suggested Jake Paul cancelled his boxing match with Hasim Rahman Jr. after failing to sell enough tickets.

Speaking at UFC 277's post-fight press conference, he said: "I think Jake Paul probably needs to get some different people around him. It's been alleged the 31-year-old wanted the bout to be held at 215lbs, 25lbs higher than Paul fights. If he's going to stay in the sport, he needs to be with guys that really know how to put on fights."
