Jake Paul and UFC President Dana White might have found one thing that both of them can agree on- their hate for boxing promoter Bob Arum.

It’s no news that the UFC head honcho doesn’t like the attorney-turned promoter. Something that he has stated multiple times and in a crass manner as well.
However, it’s ‘The Problem Child’s turn to diss Arum now and pull off a Dana White, as the 90-year-old just fired shots at Paul’s Most Valuable Promotion’s fighter Amanda Serrano (42-1-1).
“It’s awful, and it’s so lewd and disrespectful, and he’s so behind the times he’s a dinosaur. And he’s mis-educated, and he clearly doesn’t have women around him or powerful women around him to tell him like, yo, you are an idiot,” Paul said in reply to Arum’s opinion of female boxers on the MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani.
“Like, I don’t even know if he has a wife. But if I was Bob Arum’s wife, and I heard him say that, I would smack him in the head. It’s disrespectful, it’s just awful to see that. And I feel bad for any female fighter that is signed to him.”

Jake Paul even called the 90-year-old an out-of-time dinosaur while he was on his disrespect spree.“He’s just an egotistical old man, who’s behind times and, I guess, losing grasp of reality of the world around him.”
What did Arum say that triggered Jake Paul?
Bob Arum has been a longtime promoter and has many hit shows in his resume. However, in his recent interview, he made some controversial comments about female pugilists. And also claimed that no one pays attention to their fights.
“ESPN made the schedule and they couldn’t care less. I don’t want to denigrate fights and I don’t want to be accused of being anti-women in sports, but I’m telling you this is like the Premier League against women’s football,” Arum said on female boxing matches.
These remarks of Arum came as Serrano’s match with Katie Taylor was scheduled on the same day as one of Arum’s matches between Valdez and Stevenson.
