Jake Paul reveals what is standing in the way of a $200 million fight with his brother Logan Paul

Jake Paul understands there is an appetite to see him face off against his brother in the ring.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer believes a fight with Logan Paul could earn the family $200 million.

However, he insists that it is unlikely to happen due to strong objections from their parents.

Jake Paul hasn’t totally ruled out the matchup, which appeals to him because it would be historic.

Will Jake Paul ever fight Logan Paul?

Paul recently opened up about his life and career during an appearance on The Iced Coffee Hour podcast.

The 28-year-old revealed he spent his entire Mike Tyson fight purse on a $39 million ranch before explaining why a fight with his brother isn’t on the cards, despite the fact that it would be extremely lucrative for both of them.

“I really don’t think we would fight,” Jake said.

“The only reason we maybe would is just because we do everything that no one else does.

“No other boxer brothers in history have fought. The Klitschkos, the Charlos, the list goes on and on.

“We could be the first idiots to just say, ‘F— it’.

“[Our parents], they’ve always said no. They’ve always said, ‘If you do it, we are gonna disown you.’”

“I think if Logan and I fought, we would probably both make $70 million to $100 million.

“We both really don’t care right now. He’s so focused on WWE, and I have seven people on a list waiting to fight me. There’s plenty of other ways to make big moments and do big things than fighting my brother.”

Jake Paul’s hitlist after Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

Paul will face what is arguably his toughest test to date against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. on June 28.

The former WBC middleweight champion is undersized and past his peak, but some believe he will pull off an upset during the event which clashes with UFC 317.

Meanwhile, Paul has already named six opponents he will target after beating Chavez Jr.

Gervonta Davis, Anthony Joshua, KSI, Tommy Fury, Ryan Garcia, and Badou Jack are on his hitlist.

Before Paul can think about fighting one of them, he must ensure that Chavez Jr. is dealt with.
