Jake Paul is trying to settle the biggest beef in pop culture and is willing to pay $60 million to make it happen. The Youtuber-turned-boxer took to Twitter where he offered Kanye West and Pete Davidson $30 million each to settle their feud “like men,” with a six-round boxing match that would surely be a fight for the ages.
Paul, who is the founder of boxing promotions company Most Valuable Promotions, claims that his offer to see the rapper spar against the Saturday Night Live alum is out of respect for West’s kids, saying, “Let’s settle this beef like men, before the children get any more impacted”
The boxer offered to put the money in escrow before the match, probably to avoid a situation like the one his brother found himself in, where Floyd Mayweather has refused to pay up.
Not only that, but he also says the two will get a percentage of the pay-per-view upside. If Paul can broker the deal it would be a celebrity boxing match for the ages. Paul claimed that his match against Tyron Woodley pulled in 1.5 million pay-per-view buys, and a fight between two of the hottest A-listers would be a guaranteed rating success.

It looks like the two stand to make a fortune if they agree to the deal, but the match is highly unlikely. The $30 million offer is just a drop in the bucket for West, who is worth $1.8 billion thanks to his highly successful music career and Yeezy fashion brand. However, the mogul might need the extra cash if the rumors that he and Antonio Brown plan on buying the Denver Bronco’s for $4 billion are true.
Davidson, who is dating Ye’s billionaire wife, Kim Kardashian, might be more eager to accept the deal. Compared to West his net worth is paltry, with only $8 billion in the bank.

Paul has made a staggering amount in the boxing space, claiming to have earned $40 million through his high-profile matches in 2021 alone. Last month the boxer offered to fight UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov for $35 million for what would be a blockbuster MMA crossover bout.
Paul’s jump from content creator to professional boxer has proved to be incredibly lucrative, and these days he has a fortune worth north of $100 million.
