YouTube sensation Logan Paul does not want to fight in the Professional Fighting League despite a generous offer from its co-owner. Paul, who has previously dwelled in boxing and is now making waves as a professional wrestler, is not interested in competing in MMA. However, the reason might not be one the fans were expecting.
On his podcast Impaulsive, ‘The Maverick’ was offered a chance to compete in the promotion by co-owner and rapper Wiz Khalifa, who made an appearance on the show. Despite that, Paul was quick to dismiss this opportunity.

On the podcast, Khalifa was talking about another collaboration when Paul asked him if they could do some venture together. Following this, the ‘See You Again’ singer offered Paul a chance to fight in the PFL for a whopping $1 million. “let’s get it, bro, we want you in the PFL. Come fight for a million dollars bro,” said Khalifa.
However, Paul went on to reject the offer, claiming that he would need more than that amount to think about competing under Khalifa’s promotion. “I’m gonna need more than that,” said Paul. This left the rapper dumbfounded, who sarcastically agreed with ‘The Maverick’.

It seems that the rapper is open to signing either of the Paul brothers under PFL. In an interview with TMZ Khalifa revealed that it would be great if ‘The Problem Child’ fought in the league. He also added that Paul bought in a lot of excitement and audiences with him. “It will be tight if he fought for PFL. He [Jake Paul] is a cool guy. So wherever he ends up, he is gonna bring a lot of excitement. Oh hell yeah (I would sign him)” he said.
Paul does bring in a lot of eyes wherever he competes. However, with the organization currently filled with elite professional fighters, Jake might have a hard time competing with the pros. In addition, his boxing career is starting to take off after a disappointing last year.
