The elder Paul was more forceful the second time around: 'F*** yeah. Why'd you ask?'
It was then that Jake revealed to his father the news that has since rocked the boxing world.
'Cuz um.. I'm going to be fighting him,' Jake said nervously.
'No way,' Greg reacted, adding a 'dude' for good measure.
Jake went on to include the platform ('Netflix') and month ('July'), thus making the video clip an effective promo for the July 20th at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
'Are you f**king kidding me?' Jake's incredulous father continued. 'He's gonna be the hardest-hitting motherf***er you ever fought.'
Jake couldn't help but acknowledge his father was right: 'I know. Dude, holy f***. I'm gonna be freaking out.'
