Michael Rapaport is one of the individuals that doesn't seem to be a fan of Jake Paul.

He frequently vents on Instagram, and on Wednesday, he targeted Jake Paul, a former boxer who is now a YouTube sensation.

Skeptics include UFC president Dana White.

Rapaport said that due to a lack of ticket sales, Rahman's inability to make weight pushed Paul's team and the promotion to postpone the event. The Rahman camp disputes that.

Rahman allegedly did not maintain his weight in a truthful manner and repeatedly asked that the fight be moved to a larger weight class, according to Most Valuable Promotions.
