Jake Paul brutally disses Terence Crawford's popularity ahead of his Canelo Alvarez fight, fans react: "That’s why his PPV sales are tanking"

Jake Paul had some harsh words for Terence Crawford ahead of the boxing icon's superfight against Canelo Alvarez. 'The Problem Child' questioned Crawford's popularity and claimed "no one really knows" him.

Paul and his Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) recently put on an all-female fight card with a record five title fights. The event was headlined by the Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano trilogy fight and featured several other high-profile boxing stars like Alycia Baumgardner, Cherneka Johnson, and Shadasia Green.

During the post-fight presser, Paul was asked about the Alvarez-Crawford fight set to go down in September. Not taking any prisoners in his reply, Paul took shots at Crawford and said:

"No one really knows who Crawford is, to be honest. I think my mom has more followers than him on Instagram, I'm not even kidding."

"That's some goofy s**t. Imagine Messi and Ronaldo grabbing dinner before a legit match against each other. Goofy."
