Dana White believes that the fight between Jake Paul and Hasim Rahman Jr. was cancelled due to the lack of tickets sold.
The Paul fight was cancelled just as the main card of UFC 277 started up. The fight was slated for next weekend at Madison Square Garden in New York, but was reportedly cancelled due to Rahman Jr’s. weight. The promotion claimed that Rahman Jr. tried getting the match to be at 215 pounds, instead of 200 pounds.
Rahman Jr. claimed that Paul and the promotion wouldn’t even give him another week to try to cut the weight, even though his body was “telling him no” and cutting down to 200 wasn’t possible. He also brought up how fights in boxing are never called because of missing weight, especially a week out.
Rahman Jr. took to Twitter to call out Paul and claims that the fight is being cancelled because of Paul, not him.
“I think they sold under $1 million in tickets and it costs $500,000 to turn the f*cking lights on at MSG,” White said. “That’s what I think. Not to mention hotel rooms in New York and transportation is very expensive.” White said in his post fight press conference.
He wasn’t happy that the fight is off, as he stated that both fighters probably spent a ton of money getting ready for the fight. He did touch on how hard it is to promote a fight and explained just because former UFC CFO Nakisa Bidarian was around the UFC, doesn’t mean he knows how to promote well.
“Just because you were an accountant here doesn’t mean you know what the f**k goes on here and doesn’t mean you can run a fight promotion company. I think Jake Paul needs to get some different people around him. If he’s going to stay in the sport, he needs to be with guys that actually really know how to put on fights.”
As of now Paul’s immediate future and who he will be fighting next, is still up in the air.

Jake Paul has called off his upcoming bout with Hasim Rahman Jr.
YouTube sensation turned boxer Paul was scheduled to take on Rahman Jr. on Aug. 6 at Madison Square Garden in New York. He was set to face his toughest challenge yet as he took on the heavyweight professional with a record of 12-1, a major jump up in competition for the Ohio native.
Paul’s promotional company, Most Valuable Promotions, issued a statement online reading, “On July 5, Hasim Rahman, Jr. signed a bout agreement to fight Jake Paul on August 6th at Madison Square Garden at a maximum weight of 200 lbs.
“At the time of signing Rahman provided evidence of his weight to give comfort to Most Valuable Promotions and the New York State Athletic Commission that he would not be losing more than 10 percent of his weight over the 4 weeks leading up to the fight.
“Since weighing in at 216 lbs on July 7, Rahman and his camp have offered assurance after assurance publicly and privately that he was on track to make weight at the weigh-in on August 5th, going as far as to provide a letter signed by a recognized nutritionist that his weight cut was progressing without issue per New York State Athletic Commission’s required weekly weight checks.
“In the last 48 hours, it has become clear that these assurances were not made in good faith.”
“On Friday, Rahman submitted a weight check to the New York State Athletic Commission that demonstrated he had lost less than 1 pound since originally signing to take the fight 24 days prior. This prompted the Commission to declare that it would not sanction the fight at less than 205 lbs. Still, Jake Paul was prepared to move forward with the fight at this new weight and a new contract was sent to Rahman’s promoter reflecting a 205 lbs. limit, imposing strict penalties should he fail to make weight.
“Upon receiving this new contract Saturday morning, Rahman’s camp indicated for the very first time that he planned to weigh 215 lbs. at the official weigh-in and would not agree to weigh-in at 205 pounds and informing Most Valuable Promotions that they are pulling out of the fight unless the fight was agreed to at 215 pounds.
“MVP and Jake Paul will not reward someone that has conducted themselves in such a deceiving and calculated manner. Therefore, MVP is left with no choice but to cancel the August 6th event. This forced outcome impacts Jake Paul, Amanda Serrano and every other fighter on this card who have trained tirelessly over the past few months for this event.
“The boxing community must hold Hasim Rahman Jr. liable for his lack of professionalism. There has been endless work, time, and money put into building this event and we want to thank our team, Showtime, Madison Square Garden, Holden Boxing and all of our partners for their continued support. Above everything we want to thank our fans for their commitment to the athletes and the sport of boxing.”
