Fan reactions to Jake Paul Tweeting to Dana White
A personality like Paul is always very likely to attract media attention and over-the-top noise. Given his track record and background, his trash talk and call-outs never fail to gather viewers’ criticism and other comments.
After all, Jake Paul seems to have taken after Conor McGregor himself, who he has called out multiple times. The YouTube star who is now a full-time boxer garners massive hate for his choice of opponents and self-proclamation of success in the boxing world.
His last fight was against former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley, released after four straight losses. His other opponents include UFC fighter Ben Askren and NBA star Nate Robinson, all of whom do not possess adequate boxing skills.
With that being said, fans began pouring in their views about it.

In the UFC we don’t purposely set up guys that are weight classes apart, simply so they have an advantage to win. If you’re looking for that you’re going to have to stick to circus combat.

A beacon of Hope for UFC fighter pay?
Jake Paul has previously also expressed his contempt against Dana White regarding UFC fighter pay and healthcare. He voiced his opinion on how fighters placing their lives on the line should be treated better financially.
Despite gaining his praise for those comments from the fight game, fans remain skeptical about the 25-year-old’s comments, looking at it as just another way of grabbing Dana White‘s attention for a super fight.
The latest tweet about fighter pay coupled with a money fight is putting fans on a higher skepticism platform than they started with.
