Jake Paul's manager Nakisa Bidarian has responded after streamer iShowSpeed boasted he could beat his client in a boxing match with six months of training.

IShowSpeed, whose real name is Darren Watkins, took to the stage at ComplexCon on November 17 to pick apart Paul's performance against two-time heavyweight champion Mike Tyson.

The 19-year-old claims to have found "flaws" in the YouTuber-turned-boxer's game.

"If I have six months, all I need is six months [to train for a fight],” he said. “If I have six months of training, I'm beating any monster in this world.”

Speed added: “I feel like I can beat Jake Paul in a fight. Look, I respect his work ethic, but when I watch him box, he doesn’t look fluent. I feel like I could really get him. When you watch it, you see flaws in his game.”

Speed predicted a knockout win over Paul, but not in the first round.

Now, just hours after those comments emerged online, Jake Paul's manager Nakisa Bidarian has made Speed an eight-figure offer to get in the ring.

"Cool. Tell him I have $10 million for him right now," Bidarian said on an Instagram post by thebreadbatchfm. "Sign this week. If he beats Jake he gets a $10 million bonus. Put your signature where you're clout is."

Paul also responded to idea of fighting Speed. "Speed knows better," he said. "My guy was playing for sure."

Here's how fans on social media reacted to the idea of a boxing match between Paul and Speed.

One wrote: "Man gets offered a shot against the light heavyweight champion in a fight that would legitimize his career and reputation. Instead, he wants to fight an influencer based on the influencer saying he could beat him in a fight. Jake Paul is a complete joke to the boxing industry."

A second said: "Speed is a peak human physical specimen, six months of serious training he might actually kill Jake," and a third commented: "The undisputed heavyweight champion also called him out, but look how eager he is to box a teenager with no experience."

A fourth wrote: "I wonder when Jake Paul will step into the ring with an actual current non retired boxer, not a retired near 60-year-old or content creator who he has almost 10 years on."

A fifth added: "Y'all don't understand the amount of money I'd pay to see IShowSpeed knock Jake Paul on his ass."
