On Jake\u2019s journey to becoming one of the most significant names in the boxing world, he has often been brash, loud, and very confident in his ability, sliding right into the combat sports world with ease, a far cry from his YouTube and Disney Channel background. As a result, he\u2019s made a number of enemies on the way. As well as the likes of fellow YouTuber KSI and MMA star Conor McGregor, UFC owner Dana White has had a frequent back-and-forth beef with the younger Paul brother. With Jake often calling for Dana to increase fighter pay, he\u2019s now challenged the UFC boss to a substantial bet. \u201cDana, I know you\u2019re watching bro,\u201d he said, calling out White directly at the press conference for his fight with Anderson Silva. \u201cYou still owe me $1 million from when you bet against me on Ben Askren. \u201cI want you to come out of hiding, stop being a b*tch, and make a bet against me and Anderson, and actually pay up this time, because you didn\u2019t think I would take this fight. So, let\u2019s make a bet, let\u2019s put $1m, $2m, let\u2019s put $5m on it. But I bet you won\u2019t, Dana, because you\u2019re a b*tch.\u201d This bet comes less than two weeks after Dana White called for people to \u201cstop asking him\u201d about Jake Paul, clearly done with any conversation around the YouTuber-turned-boxer. For that reason, we shouldn\u2019t expect Dana to respond to Paul\u2019s bet, but if he does it could mean there are way more stakes in the fight than there already is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jake Paul challenges Dana White to insane $5M bet on Anderson Silva fight YouTube: Showtime SportsJake Paul has offered to make a ridiculous $5 million bet with UFC owner Dana White ahead of his match against UFC legend Anderson Silva.
