Jake Paul is no stranger to mixing entertainment with big-money fights, and he’s now looking to create a spectacle that blends the worlds of streaming and combat sports. The YouTube sensation turned boxer has recently offered two of the biggest names in the streaming world, Kai Cenat and Adin Ross, an eye-watering $20 million each to throw down in the ring.
The offer came to light during a recent livestream on the Kick platform, where Paul was chatting with Ross about potential matchups. As the conversation unfolded, Ross expressed his openness to the idea of stepping into the ring—but only if the money was right. And Jake, known for his bold moves, delivered in a major way. “I got $20 million guaranteed. Each of you. I got Kai $20 million guaranteed. Adin $20 million guaranteed. I’ll make that fight happen,” Paul confidently stated.
It’s not every day you hear about streamers getting such a massive payday for a boxing match, especially since most online spats happen without any cash involved. The proposal immediately caught the attention of fans and media alike, as it raised the stakes for what could become one of the most watched events in both streaming and sports history.
Adin Ross, ever the talker, seemed intrigued by the proposition but hesitated, citing his friendship with Cenat as a potential barrier. Paul, ever the salesman, quickly reassured Ross, suggesting they could still compete without personal animosity. “You can just respectfully go to war and have a competition,” he said, clearly positioning the fight as a form of entertainment rather than a grudge match.
While the match wouldn’t be airing on Netflix or traditional TV networks, Paul hinted that there could be big opportunities for streaming platforms to pick up the event, in addition to the possibility of lucrative pay-per-view deals, sponsorships, and ticket sales. This is a golden opportunity for both streamers to make their way into the mainstream sports world.
As of now, Kai Cenat has yet to comment publicly on Jake’s proposal, leaving fans to wonder whether the world of online entertainment could soon collide with the world of combat sports in a way we’ve never seen before.
With Ross expressing interest in the idea, it seems like we could be witnessing an online vs. offline clash that might just be worth the hype. Would these streamers really step into the ring for the $20 million payday? Only time will tell.
