Paddy Pimblett has added a fresh demand to Jake Paul’s £850,000 ($1million) sparring offer. The UFC star wants the money to be held in an escrow before he agrees on terms in fears that Paul will attempt to wriggle out of paying him.
The pair have been at each other’s throats since Paddy The Baddy accused Paul of fight-fixing. Pimblett claimed every single one of the Problem Child’s fights apart from his rematch against Tyron Woodley were ‘rigged’ including his career-best victory over Anderson Silva last time out.
Taking exception to the comments, Paul sent Pimblett an offer to spar him in Puerto Rico to settle the score. “I’m sick and tired of this narrative. It’s stupid and pathetic; you’re disrespecting the own GOAT of your own sport.
“You’re saying that Anderson Silva is a criminal, that he is a fraud. I have a proposition for you; since you wouldn’t rig a fight, let’s spar. Fly to Puerto Rico – I’ll get you a private jet – and we can do five three-minute rounds of boxing.
“[ Jake Paul invited me to spar with him in Puerto Rico] knowing full well I’m fighting next week,” Pimblett said during a vlog uploaded to his YouTube channel yesterday. “Lad, I will spar him anytime. Anytime. [Do] you know what I mean?
“But the thing is, lad, you’d have to get the million put in like an escrow because I know he’d just bump me. He wouldn’t give me a million dollars after I beat him up.”
