On a recent episode of The Pivot , Paul was adamant he could play in the NFL, leading to a back-and-forth with Clark. The moment ultimately bled onto social media and led to Paul issuing a $1 million challenge to any and all NFL players.
"Will pay any NFL player $1 million dollars if you can box me better than I run routes against you," Paul wrote via X. "Internet is judge. Will send my jet to pick you up, who’s down?"

— Jake Paul (@jakepaul) August 1, 2026 Paul's challenge quickly picked up steam on social media, with NFL legend Chad "Ochocinco" responding to the former YouTuber-turned-boxer.
Clark may not have expected the back-and-forth to reach this point, but his pushback has now turned Paul's NFL claim into a million-dollar challenge — one that players should be chomping at the bit to accept.
