Picture this; British Boxer Jake Paul vs Draymond Green bout for $10 million. That is the offer at stake by the boxer to the indefinitely suspended Golden Warriors player.
Paul, well-known for his unconventional approach to the boxing arena and his tendency to stir things up, announced the offer on social media.
He poked fun at Green in a tweet that went viral, giving him a massive $10 million to be on a fight card.
Jake Paul Vs Draymond Green $10 Million Fight
In his proposal for the Jake Paul vs Draymond Green bout—what would be a strangely popular fight—Paul set X on fire with his post. He asked the NBA star to reach out to make arrangements for how it will happen.
“Draymond Green hit me up, I’ll get you on a card to fight $10 million,” read his post on X.
Known for his perseverance on the basketball court, Green has not yet replied to Paul’s bold offer. It remains to be seen if this challenge turns into a real fight. But the idea of such an odd confrontation has sparked intense debates among commentators and fans alike.

Paul’s intriguing proposal calls into question the attraction of such a crossover event and how the fight would be. Of course, given Green’s expertise in NBA and Paul’s celebrity status in the world of Boxing.
The British boxer seems to be pushing the envelope further by asking a professional basketball player to enter the ring. Yet, his boxing career is characterized by high-profile matches and hefty paychecks.
Why Did Golden State Warriors Indefinitely Suspend Draymond Green?
Draymond Green who plays for the Warriors as a forward was indefinitely suspended following an incident where he struck Jusuf Nurkić of Phoenix Suns. Greens struck Nurkić in the face on December 12 at Footprint Center.
There were only eight minutes, 23 seconds left to the end of the game when the incident happened. It was the third quarter of the Warriors’ 119-116 loss to the Suns and Green was dismissed after committing a Flagrant Foul 2.
Joe Dumars, Executive Vice President and Head of Basketball Operations announced Green’s indefinite suspension on Thursday. He said that Green has a history of consistently acting in an unsportsmanlike manner.
His suspension came without notice and he is now required to fulfill specific league and team requirements before getting back to the floor.

He, however, apologised to Nurkic during a conference post-Tuesday’s match. He asked for pardon by the Phoenix Suns. Nevertheless, his work ethic is deeply questionable.
Barely four weeks ago, Green got a five-game suspension following a heated altercation with Rudy Gobert of the Minnesota Timberwolves. The NBA handed him a five-game suspension and his return got fans thinking he was a changed man until he struck Nurkic.
What Indefinite Suspension in NBA Means
An indefinite suspension in the NBA by a club or the league means that you are in the dark about your fate as in the case of Draymond Green. He does not know when he will play again for the Warriors who meted out the suspension following his strike in the face of Suns’ player on Tuesday. Financially, he will feel the weight of the suspension since the Warriors won’t pay him until the time it fully conducts investigations and gives its position.
Essentially, an indefinite suspension rather than one for a set number of games indicates how serious the incident is. It suggests that a careful examination and assessment of Green’s behaviour must be undertaken and it takes time. It is also a pointer to possible repercussions necessary for the league and the club to undertake if found in breach of NBA rules.
Green is now in limbo on what happens next since his NBA career is now at a standstill. This suspension is a serious blow to Green’s career. His leadership, defensive skill and basketball IQ have been crucial to the Warriors’ championship success.
However, this act damages his reputation and calls into question his temperament and capacity to preserve an outstanding work ethic.
