Dana White takes aim at Jake Paul\u2019s fight company over Hasim Rahman cancelation Jake Paul\/Instagram\/Andrius Petrucenia\/WikimediaUFC President Dana White shared his thoughts on Jake Paul being forced to cancel his fight against Hasim Rahman Jr after the boxer had issues making their agreed-upon weight. Jake Paul was left infuriated after his second would-be foe pulled out at the last moment, leaving the influencer with no one to fight at his Madison Square Garden pay-per-view event. This marks the third time that a scheduled fight involving Jake Paul has been canceled with the first two times being \u2018Love Island\u2019 star Tommy Fury. Amid the chaos of the event cancelation, Dana White, who has quite the history with Jake Paul, was asked to give his thoughts on \u2018The Problem Child\u2019 and his pay-per-view woes. (segment begins at 3:30 for mobile users) Dana White says Jake Paul needs \u201cdifferent people around him\u201d Despite having feuded with Jake Paul in the past over UFC fighter pay, Dana White refused to \u201cbe happy or gloat\u201d over the YouTuber\u2019s event being canned. \u201cBoth those guys I\u2019m sure put in a lot of hard work and training to get ready for this fight. Spent money to get ready for this fight. But I will say this: just because you are an account here, doesn\u2019t mean what the f**k goes on here and doesn\u2019t mean that you can run a fight promotion company,\u201d the UFC boss said. \u201cI think that Jake Paul probably needs to get some different people around him. If he\u2019s gonna stay in this sport, he needs to be with guys that actually really know how to put on fights.\u201d White\u2019s remarks are likely a reference to former UFC employee Nakisa Bidarian who helped co-found Paul\u2019s company Most Valuable Promotions. Additionally, the UFC President dismissed qualms about Hasim Rahman Jr unable to make weight as the reason for the cancelation. \u201cI think they sold under a million dollars in tickets and it cost $500,000 to turn the f**king lights on at MSG, that\u2019s what I think,\u201d he hypothesized. \u201cNot to mention the fact that hotel rooms in New York and transportation and everything else is very expensive.\u201d It\u2019s unclear what will come next for The Problem Child or if he will take Dana White\u2019s advice, but for now, Jake Paul will need to wait until he gets another opportunity to improve to 6-0 in his boxing career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
