The feud between Jake Paul and Dana White has been ongoing for quite some time, with the UFC boss even threatening to take legal action against The Problem Child for constantly calling out his MMA talent. According to Jake Paul, his boxing events have earned him more money than \u201call but two UFC fighters have in history\u201d and believes White doesn\u2019t pay his fighters their \u201cfair share.\u201d Now, after UFC 263, Dana White responded to Jake Paul\u2019s allegations and took aim at the younger brother\u2019s pay-per-view numbers, which he still believes are greatly exaggerated. \u201c[Jake Paul] didn\u2019t do a million. His brother did a million! Floyd did a million\u201d Dana said. \u201cLast time we did a press conference, I told you all the Triller stuff is a bunch of bullsh*t.\u201d While White stressed that he believes Logan and Floyd\u2019s numbers are accurate, he remained defiant that Jake\u2019s fight against Ben Askren pulled a million pay-per-view buys. He also blasted claims by former Welterweight champion Tyron Woodley who said he was about to make his biggest payday ever by fighting Jake Paul. \u201cI\u2019ve been hearing that bullsh*t forever. They\u2019re all full of sh*t,\u201d White snapped. \u201cI keep not wanting to do this. Tyron Woodley is 40-years-old, he hasn\u2019t won a fight in three years in something he\u2019s actually supposed to be good at. And now he\u2019s going to go box?\u201d Clearly unimpressed by Woodley and Jake Paul, Dana didn\u2019t hold back: \u201chow do you sell that fight? Lots of other things, \u2018making millions of dollars and this is the biggest payday ever and Jake Paul will say mean things about me and pay your fighters.\u2019 It\u2019s all bullsh*t!\u201d With how Dana White has responded to the antics of Woodley and Paul, it will be interesting to see how the build-up for their fight on August 28 continues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dana White slams Jake Paul\u2019s claim that UFC fighters are underpaid YouTube\/UFC\/Instagram\/JakePaulUFC President Dana White responded to YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul\u2019s claims that UFC fighters are underpaid.
