Jake Paul responded to Canelo Alvarez after the undisputed super middleweight champion previously reacted to talk of a potential fight between them with laughing emojis on social media.
While greeting fans and media during a public appearance this week, Jake was asked about the financial terms he believes would be needed to make the fight happen.
“Yeah, 200 [million] for him, 300 [million for me. We’ll get the deal done. Easy work,” said Paul to Fight Hub TV when asked about a possible deal with Canelo.
The comment immediately drew attention because of the enormous figure attached to the fight. Jake has continued calling for a bout against Canelo over the past year despite criticism from many boxing fans and fighters who view the matchup as unrealistic.
Jake was then asked about Canelo, responding with laughing emojis when the subject of a fight between them surfaced online.
“I don’t know what it means, but he’s not going to be laughing when I beat his ass,” said Paul.
The rivalry between the two has continued to build publicly through interviews and social media exchanges, even though no official negotiations have been announced.
Jake has repeatedly mentioned Canelo in interviews over the last year, keeping the possibility of a future fight in circulation despite widespread skepticism across boxing circles.
Canelo is currently scheduled to face Christian Mbilli later this year in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, while Jake continues recovering from injuries suffered in his December 2025 fight against Anthony Joshua.
