JAKE PAUL admits he could LOSE money when he fights Andre August.
The YouTuber-turned-fighter will go toe-to-toe with the professional boxer on December 15.
The bout will air live on DAZN but poor ticket sales means Paul risks making a loss on the fight.
However, he is not concerned as he is keen to take on August to build his experience as a wannabe professional.
Up until now Paul, 26, has fought mostly retired MMA stars or fellow YouTubers, suggesting he has always had a big day.
But he now appears to be satisfied financially, so is willing to forego money in return for fighting an actual pro boxer.

He told TMZ Sports: “100 per cent I’m foregoing a lot of money. This is probably a break even fight for me I probably won’t even make money on it.
“It’s not about the money it’s really about staying sharp and the experience of challenging myself in the ring with these guys – he’s a beast.”
Paul claims he has “lost count” of how much he is worth, with Forbes estimating he has a fortune of £31.4million.
He claimed to have made close to £24m for his fight with Tommy Fury earlier this year – which was the first time he tasted defeat in the ring.
