In a recent interview with The Mirror, Ben Askren told that he has no problems in taking down Jake but he asks his fans to make up for his pay cut from his purse. The pro wrestler has said he will choke Jake Paul if someone can pay him the money lost from the purse.
“One of you guys can start a GoFundMe – how much would you give me to choke Jake Paul out with a guillotine? If the number’s bigger than my purse, maybe I’ll do it,” said Askren during open workouts earlier this week. All that the Jake Paul haters have to do is come up with $500,000 to see Askren choke out Jake Paul.
Darren Till cosigns the idea of funding Ben Askren
UFC middleweight fighter, Darren Till wrote on Twitter yesterday that he would cosign the idea of a GoFundMe for Ben Askren to see him takedown Jake in a boxing match. The sight of this seems to be satisfying/hilarious to a lot of the fans and Till as well.
“If Ben Askren shoots for double leg Saturday night & slams Jake Paul on his head. He won’t need to worry about his purse because we’ll set up a Go-Fund me for him,” wrote Darren Till on Twitter yesterday. Will you contribute to a GoFundMe to see Jake Paul get choked out?
