Jake Paul doubts Triller can afford $30 million offer to fight Vitor Belfort

Jake Paul doesn’t think Triller’s outlandish $30 million ‘winner-takes-all’ offer to fight Vitor Belfort is genuine.

Belfort initially opened with a $25 million offer following his first-round TKO victory over Evander Holyfield on Saturday, but Triller upped the prize pool to $30 mil once Belfort’s post-fight interview started trending.

Paul, who is 2-0 against ex-MMA champions and 4-0 in boxing overall, claims Triller doesn’t have that kind of cash to be throwing around which is why he was so surprised by the offer.

“I honestly didn’t think that was coming,” Paul told Ariel Helwani during a recent appearance on The MMA Hour (h/t Jordan Ellis of Low Kick MMA).
