Tyron Woodley has gone on record saying that his upcoming bout against Jake Paul will be his biggest payday to date. When Dana White was asked to comment on Woodley’s recent statements, the UFC boss brushed them aside.
Additionally, he said that Tyron Woodley’s only way to hype up his boxing debut is to introduce the payday angle. Not to mention, by bringing up Woodley’s age, White inadvertently dissed ‘The Problem Child’ for choosing to fight an older competitor.

“Tyron Woodley is 40 years old. He hasn’t won a fight in three years, in something that he’s actually supposed to be good at. Now he’s going to go box. How do you sell that fight?

Making millions of dollars and this the biggest pay-day ever and Jake Paul will say mean things about me…and you guys just get right into it and love it. It’s all bulls**t, it’s all a bunch of bulls**t.”
