Sean Kingston (whose real name is Kisean Andreson) and Triple The Mogul (real name Robert Levy) have personally invested $10 million each, raising nearly $50 million for PRBL in total so far. We’re told that the league isn’t just a pipe dream. They are planning to get the boxing matches up and running before the NBA season in July. The fights will continue to be held at the “Eenie Meenie” singer’s home but they have dreams of expanding it to boxing gyms and arenas depending on the demand.

As of now, YK Osiris, Lil Tjay and Trippie Redd have already verbally agreed to fight and Soulja Boy is warming up to the idea. YK Osiris has even called on his buddies like Tory Lanez and Drake, challenging them to matches. If you’re interested in watching, Instagram Live will have to do for now. Our sources say the fights will be streamed on the social media giant once a week with hopes to expand to Pay Per View. The goal is for Professional Rapper Boxing League to be a live event with an audience but that won’t come to fruition until after Coronavirus settles down.
