Jake Paul takes on Dana White again, bothered by low pay in UFC
American YouTuber Jake Paul has once again stirred up the MMA waves. Now he’s fighting for fighters who he believes aren’t getting paid enough by the UFC. This certainly didn’t sit well with Dan White, the boss of the organisation, with whom Paul has had long-standing issues.
American YouTuber Jake Paul has once again stirred up the MMA waves. Now he’s fighting for fighters who he believes aren’t getting paid enough by the UFC. This certainly didn’t sit well with Dan White, the boss of the organisation, with whom Paul has long had issues.
Jake Paul has taken on Dana White, the head of the UFC organization. The reason for this is the high earnings of the organization, with the vast majority of fighters slowly not even having the money to train.
“He’s just an old hater. He sees what I’m doing with the whole business model of the game. It’s clear to him that it could affect his pockets. Because I’m talking about fighters’ and fighters’ paychecks.
This guy is able to bet $7 million on blackjack, but his fighters have to set up websites for their fans to support them, so they can prepare and stuff like that. He’s gota negative campaign coming at him because of me, which he doesn’t like because it can affect his business,” Paul said.
It’s very good that someone as influential as Paul has started to speak out about this issue. Because he makes a lot more money through his fights than the traditional fighters.
White has said in the past that MMA is a sport where you simply have to win if you want to do well. That’s how payouts work in the UFC, the winner gets double what the loser gets.
However, it can be expected that the pressure on the UFC will increase and the organization will have no choice but to increase the payouts of its fighters.
