Social media celebrity and professional boxer Jake Paul takes yet another dig at UFC president Dana White.

Ever since ‘The Problem Child’ started his professional boxing career, he has competed in five boxing matches. He is currently undefeated and has knocked out four of his opponents. Unlike most of the UFC fighters, Paul earns a fortune through his matches.

Hence, he never leaves a chance to taunt the UFC kingpin White regarding the payday of UFC fighters. Recently, after the first pay-per-view of the year, the 25-year-old posted a picture of UFC 270 fighters’ payoff sheet and compared it with the amount earned by boxers on his official Twitter account.

In the Tweet, Paul wrote, “I can’t stress enough how bad this is. My next step for helping with this situation will be announced tomorrow. PAY FIGHTERS MORE.”

As seen in the sheet, the main event fighters Francis Ngannou and Ciryl Gane earned a total of $6,00,000 and $5,00,000 respectively, which is not even half the money earned by boxers for each of their matches.

Hence, many UFC fighters have had issues with the promotion regarding their salary. And Paul takes advantage of the situation and fuels the feud by providing alternate solutions to the fighters.

In the tweet, he also mentioned that he will provide help for the fighters regarding this situation. However, the YouTuber will announce the news tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Paul himself has many times expressed his interest in competing inside the MMA octagon. But that never happened. However, he recently received an illustrious offer from a surging MMA promotion. However, ‘The Problem Child‘ has a condition before he could join the promotion.

However, he never received a valid offer. But the wait is over for Paul. Recently, the UFC legend Khabib Nurmagomedov offered to sign the internet star in his newly formed promotion Eagle FC.

Nurmagomedov wrote on Twitter, “the doors of @EagleFightClub always open for you and your team.”

‘The Eagle’ has retired from professional fighting and promised his mother he will never return. Even though many offered him massive deals, the Russian denied them all. Hence, this fight might never come to fruition.
