Fans react to Jake Paul’s recent Tweet
Since his debut in 2018, ‘The Problem Child’ has become a well-known name in the boxing community. His PPV sales are even higher than those of several well-known fighters. However, fans can’t stop talking about how his promise to pay them $5000 was broken. Paul, on the other hand, shows no signs of remorse.
