Chuckling at Paul’s challenge, Speed claimed that the bet was “free money” for him. Although Paul hit back, claiming IShowSpeed was “not that fast,” the latter accepted the challenge without any hesitation, as he said,
“Okay. Then let’s go. Let’s race then. Come on.”
Paul, who is currently in Puerto Rico, even offered to fly Speed out and arrange for a race. Reacting to the offer, Speed commented,
“Let’s see, free fly-out, free ($)25K. I’m down. Let’s go. Alright man, let’s do it like tomorrow.”
Both YouTubers agreed to race in Puerto Rico and decide on the schedule later.
