“I’m a big proponent for that movement (big pay for fighters),” he said. “It’s just like music labels. The same thing, the artists are getting owned and getting locked up in these sh*tty contracts and they don’t know what to do. So f*ck that sh*t, f*ck Dana White.”
When asked if he is speaking on those fighters behalf, the boxer said, “because no one could talk sh*t to Dana. They will just sideline them and they are f*cked.”
“I’m the only one that doesn’t need Dana White while everyone is just scared of him. I don’t give a f*ck about,” he added.
Jake then agreed that fighters are closing out their contracts so that they could fight him. “100 percent,” he said. “I think there’s gonna be a change in the movement. We are innovating the fight game and you are starting to see that.”
He added that although most fighters see it from a sporting point of view, there are a lot many things going around (money matters) and it’s show business.
