Jake Paul has called out Kamaru Usman before
Usman has previously ruled out a fight with the YouTube star but appears to have now backtracked – so long as the price is right.
He said on Club Shay Shay: “Absolutely, but these guys are making a lot of noise.
“They got the YouTubers and they got this new generation, these new kids involved and watching them.
“That’s fine, but they don’t equate to dollars. Jake Paul says ‘we doing these numbers.’
“You can add up every fight Jake Paul has had, but the pay-per-view numbers weren’t more than what I did in my last fight.
“Write me a check for $100million, Jake Paul and I’ll be there to kick your ass next week.”
Paul, 25, has already knocked out two former UFC fighters, Ben Askren, 37, and Tyron Woodley, 39.
That added to KOs over online rival ‘AnEsonGib’ and ex-NBA player Nate Robinson, 37.
He initially beat Woodley on points in August but won their rematch in brutal fashion four months later.
Usman, 34, has been among the names linked with Paul, but the UFC welterweight king had been quick to recently talk it down.
He said during a fan Q&A: “What? Boo this man one time, listen, listen, if we’re going to fight, we’re going to fight a real fight.
“I’m going to answer your question, if we’re going to fight, we’re going to fight a real fighter. A real fighter.”
