Boxing star Jake Paul made headlines this week, as he always does. The Youtuber-turned-boxer got a taste of MMA, with his boxing fights against Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley, and Anderson Silva. All of them, are proven MMA champions. But, Paul defeated all of them in the boxing ring. So, he thought of trying his luck in the Octagon. So he set off and signed a massive deal with the PFL for the ‘Super Fight League’. As UFC commentator, Joe Rogan once famously said, MMA is the fastest-growing sport in the world. And ‘the Problem Child’ wants a piece of that pie. However, a UFC Veteran called him out for making it seem like he’s looking out for the other MMA fighters.

Michael Bisping exposed the privileges of the fighters in ‘The Super Fight Division’, compared to the other divisions in the PFL. Because, the internet celebrity and owners of PFL stressed that this new initiative, will resolve many MMA fighters’ contract issues. Especially since many UFC fighters reported a huge conflict with the UFC and Boss Dana White regarding their poor contracts.

But Bisping explained how this ‘Super League’ system also promotes inequality among PFL fighters. While favoring popular fighters like Paul himself.

And only those people in the Super League are gonna get or be privy to the 50% revenue share.”

‘The Count’ added “so unless you’re good enough to be in the Super League…you don’t get the revenue share

And explained how fighters in the other divisions of the PFL promotion, will earn significantly less compared to Jake Paul and co.

Jake Paul is just looking out for himself and not the entire MMA roster

Ever since the announcement of the ‘Super Fight League’ with Jake Paul, media and fans thought this would favor PFL fighters. Instead of the UFC, where superstars like Heavyweight champion  Francis Ngannou complain of being underpaid.

So, Bisping said “jake paul, once again, you’re full of sh*t bro!” and claimed he was just looking out for himself. Because Paul’s wrong to mislead people into thinking this will solve everyone’s problem.

Whereas, it mostly benefits The Problem child himself.
