‘Sick of them going back and forth’ – Jake Paul wants to promote $60m Kanye West and Pete Davidson fight to end feud
JAKE PAUL insists he is ready to promote Kanye West’s $60million boxing showdown against love rival Pete Davidson.
That’s because the YouTuber is ‘sick of them going back and forth’.
Rap royalty West – now known as Ye – has repeatedly slammed Davidson, 28, in public after the comedian began dating his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian.
But the drama escalated when alleged private messages between the pair were shared online.
In one apparent message from Davidson, the Saturday Night Live star boasted of being in bed with West’s former partner Kardashian, 41.
He also allegedly told 44-year-old West: “What you’re doing to your family is dangerous and going to scar them for life.”
As the rivalry hots up, YouTuber-turned prizefighting boxing star Paul urged the pair to settle it in the ring for $30m each.
And he now insists he is good for the combined $60m pot, revealing he has plenty of wealthy backers eager for West and Davidson to squash their beef in the ring.
But Paul, 25, also feels the rivalry needs to end for the sake of West and Kardashian’s children.
Paul told TMZ: “I’m kinda sick of them going back and forth on social media and I think it’s affecting the kids’ lives, like Kanye and Kim’s kids.

“Let’s end this. Kanye, I got $30m for you, He’s a billionaire so that might not excite him.
“But what will excite him is him beating up Pete.
“I know Pete used to live in his mum’s basement so $30m to him is a lot of money.
“Plus PPV upside. I have the money, I’ll put it in before the fight, six rounds.
“They can meet around 165lbs, let’s make it happen.
“Most Valuable Promotions will run it up, so if they want the money, we’re reaching out to their managers to make this happen.
“I think everyone’s tired of the back and forth. Put it on the line like real men.
“We already have financial backers. I had a $50m offer from [Conor] McGregor with the money in the bank.
