Jake Paul explains why feud with Dana White is "real"

Jake Paul has reiterated that his ongoing feud with UFC president Dana White isn’t a fabrication.

As much as fans may not like it, now may be the time to accept that Jake Paul is pretty good at making waves in the combat sports space. His tactics aren’t always great and he definitely riles people up, but at the end of the day, fans are interested in hearing what he has to say.

He’s of the belief that members of the UFC roster don’t get paid what they deserve and even though White isn’t interested in hearing what he has to say, ‘The Problem Child’ is going to keep forcing this conversation down the throat of anyone who will listen.

However, there’s still a large number of critics who believe this is all for show.

In response to such individuals, Jake Paul said the following in a recent interview.

“It’s real, it’s very very real. For me, it’s about UFC fighters getting treated better. That’s really what it boils down to. I’m passionate about fighter pay, all across the board, because I see how fighters are mistreated even in boxing – but especially in UFC.

“They run such a greedy organisation where people like Paddy Pimblett are getting paid $24,000 and he’s the main attraction for that whole entire show [UFC London]. But, the whole event is making $5-10 million. They’re taking everything from these fighters who can barely afford to pay coaches.”

The December knockout win over Tyron Woodley feels like a thousand years ago now when you consider how much has happened in both boxing and MMA since then. Still, even though he isn’t currently competing and doesn’t have a fight booked,
