Turki\u2019s Disinterest<\/p>\n
For the money that Paul wants, it would be out of Hearn\u2019s price range unless Turki Alalashikh takes an interest in the fight. He didn\u2019t seem eager to put on a Canelo Alvarez vs. Jake Paul fight in February. Turki preferred that Canelo fight \u201cReal fighters.\u201d It\u2019s unlikely that Turki has changed his mind about this subject. If he views Jake as a YouTuber, he\u2019s not going to want to finance a fight between him and Joshua.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe fight is huge. The more you talk about it, the more you realize how big it is, and if he [Jake Paul] wants to do it, we\u2019ll do it. But we also have to plan our future, and AJ is looking to fight in December,\u201d said Hearn.<\/p>\n
Dangerous Joshua Fight<\/p>\n
\u201cNo chance [$15 million to get Jake to agree]. No chance [$25 million]. You\u2019re getting warmer,\u201d said Hearn when asked if Paul will ask for $40 million to fight Anthony Joshua. \u201cHe\u2019s got people around him that pump s*** into his head, saying he\u2019s the second coming of Ali. He\u2019s not an idiot. He knows the risks associated with this fight, and this fight is very dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearn\u2019s DAZN Needs<\/p>\n
Could Hearn come up with the money on his own to put a fight together between AJ and Paul? He would need DAZN to chip in to help come up with the money Jake and Joshua would expect to be paid for this fight.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have to really consider that when we do this fight. But for the right amount of money for that viral moment, I think Jake will do it. He won\u2019t do it. He\u2019s not an idiot. He knows it\u2019s dangerous. Look what happened to Francis Ngannou [knocked out in two rounds by AJ]. Francis Ngannou would destroy Jake Paul,\u201d said Hearn.<\/p>\n
