Jake Paul appeared to be in danger of losing yet another opponent, Hasim Rahman Jr., early Tuesday morning.

Paul’s Showtime PPV event versus Rahman Jr. was in peril after he disclosed Rahman was negotiating his contract.

“I think he’s scared to fight me. I think a lot of these guys are excited by the money at first but when it actually comes time to start fighting and getting into camp they all chicken out.

“Who knows if this fight is even going to happen at this point because we’re not going to pay him more money, he’s not worth it.”

Rahman Jr. has 12 wins, six by KO. James McKenzie Morrison TKO’d him in April.

Paul knocked out Tyron Woodley in their last-minute rematch.

Paul’s first pro opponent is Rahman Jr.

Rahman Jr. said, “I’ll end this facade.” “His career,”
