Now I’m even more tempted to pay the $50 for this pay-per-view.

Jake Paul (who is growing on me, I’m already a fan of his brother) and Tommy Fury are scheduled to face off in the boxing ring Feb. 26, and they recently upped the stakes making this fight even more interesting.

During a Feb. 23 pre-fight press conference in Saudi Arabia, Paul issued an “all or nothing” challenge to Fury where whoever wins the match, gets both of the purses that are owed to each boxer for being in the bout, with the loser walking away with absolutely nothing.

Fury’s father, John, was quick to accept the bet, but his son was hesitant —he so hesitant that he tried to look like a tough guy by standing up after Paul offered the challenge, and then called out Paul for standing up too, even though all Paul was trying to do was shake hands on the deal. Eventually, they did shake on it after Fury’s tough guy act, and promised each other to sign a contract on the bet.

I’m so tempted to get this pay-per-view, but I don’t necessarily want to spend the $50 either, and to make it even more tempting, the wife even gave me approval because she secretly wants to watch it too. (RELATED: There’s A Sport We’ve Never Heard Of Called Roofball, And It Looks Fun As Hell)

Choices, choices.

Okay, I think I’m in.

Let’s do this! Whoop his ass, Jake!
