"It has to be a 50/50 split" - Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. lays down conditions for Jake Paul fight

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. recently set his conditions for a potential fight with media sensation and YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul.

In an interview with Fightnews.com, the former middleweight champion cleared the air around a possible fight between himself and Jake Paul. He claimed Paul's team contacted him regarding a potential showdown.

The Mexican boxer said:

“Jake Paul and his people contacted me regarding a fight with Paul,” said Chavez Jr. “I said yes, but then again Lupe Valencia, who is with Paul now and used to be with me a few years back said they offered me one to three million dollars plus PPV. When it’s a fight that can sell millions and can break records because he is popular and I have a name, I’m a former world champion, so I made it clear that it has to be a 50/50 split for me to take the fight."

Chávez Jr concluded the conversation with immense confidence and mentioned how he wants to be treated in the negotiations. He also discussed the importance of his name and experience as a boxer.

"I just want to be treated fairly. What I bring to the table and my name, I have 61 fights already and yes I haven’t looked the same in my last two fights, but I fought with serious injuries in my body that I will tell you about later on. I’m feeling better little by little and if the Paul fight happens, I will be very well prepared to win. I will not lose.”
