While Offering $100 Million to Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, Jake Paul Slams Dana White Over “Gimmick Fights” Remarks
Follow Us
The longstanding feud between YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul and UFC president Dana White has taken a new twist as Paul weighs in on the much-discussed potential fight between tech titans Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. It all started when Musk, in a tweet, criticized Meta, the parent company of Instagram, and its newly released Twitter competitor, Threads. Musk provocatively suggested a “cage fight” with Zuckerberg, to which the Facebook CEO responded with a caption stating, “send me location.” The fact that both billionaires have dabbled in martial arts training, has added another layer of intrigue to the potential showdown.
The hype for this potential matchup has reached unmatched heights, even promoting White to be open to making this fight in the UFC. The 53-year-old has always been one to be against the concept of ‘gimmick fights’. However, he is more than interested in making two billionaires compete in the ring. To counter this, ‘The Problem Child’ has come out with his own $100 million offer while simultaneously calling out White for his hypocrisy regarding “gimmick fights.”

During an episode of his podcast, Paul seized the opportunity to enter the Musk vs. Zuckerberg fray. The outspoken YouTuber-turned-boxer offered a jaw-dropping $100 million for charity. However, this would only happen if the tech billionaires agreed to hold their fight in the Middle East. By doing so, Paul aimed to promote the contest and ensured that the money was guaranteed for charitable causes.
“I think it very well could happen, and I have a $100 million offer for Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg to take this fight to the Middle East, to promote it and put it on for charity. We can guarantee that money, a hundred million dollars, to charity. We want to get involved and help make this a reality.” he said

However, Paul didn’t miss the chance to take a swipe at White who has a long history with the YouTuber. Paul has often criticized White on a host of issues in the UFC including fighter pay, which has been his focus.
Paul slams Dana White’s hypocrisy
Referencing White’s previous comments about avoiding “gimmick fights”, Paul called out White’s apparent hypocrisy for eagerly wanting to host the Musk vs. Zuckerberg fight under the UFC banner. He labeled White’s sudden interest in the fight as ironic, questioning his credibility.
“You know, it’s funny because Dana White is sitting there talking about, “I don’t do gimmick fights, I only do real fights, the best of the best,” talking about me. And then all of a sudden, he wants to jump on this train so badly and make it go into the UFC. To me, that’s just ironic,” he said
