Hasim Rahman Jr. to lose 25% of Jake Paul fight purse per 1lb he's overweight. Could be left with only $5,000

HASIM RAHMAN JR revealed that he could have just $5,000 to fight Jake Paul.

Paul has signed the American heavyweight to fight him at the 14th 4lb cruiserweight limit, 200lb.

A rehydration clause was added to the contract due to his size and experience.

This means Rahman can't exceed 214lb the morning of the bout when he must weigh in again.

He can enter the ring at any weight, but legend's son will get 25 percent of his purse for each pound over.

This means that Rahman would lose all his money if he is more than 4lb above the limit on any day. Instead, he would be left with $5,000.

On The MMA Hour, he said: "After four ounces and after every lb I would have been over, I'm fined 25% of my purse."

"Yeah, they leave a lot out. When dealing with Jake Paul's antics, they leave a lot out.

"So, for example, if I were to weigh in at 202 lb and then weigh in at 216 lb, then I would receive the minimum of $5,000.

"Just the minimum, that's only because of 2lb."

Rahman, 31, fought up to 16 stone and has had more professional bouts than Paul at 12-1.

The prizefighter-turned YouTuber 5-0 is also up against his first opponent with a recognized boxing record.

The athletic commission was afraid to sanction Rahman's bout and demanded that the clause be added.

Morning Kombat was told by Paul: "The New York State Athletic Commission wanted this to be put in place because they were concerned about him having such an insane size advantage.

"They almost did not want to sanction the fight, because they were concerned over his experience over mine."
