Jake Paul dismisses $100 million demand to fight UFC\u2019s Kamaru Usman Instagram: Jake Paul\/Kamaru UsmanJake Paul has hit back at UFC Welterweight champion Kamaru Usman for setting a $100 million price tag on himself for them to fight, claiming he\u2019s not even worth 10% of that. After defeating Tyron Woodley in their long-awaited rematch at the end of 2021, Jake Paul has taken a brief break from boxing \u2013 focusing more on the promoting side of things. However, he will be getting back in the ring in August. As of now, Jake\u2019s potential hasn\u2019t been named, but there have been plenty of suitors throwing their hats into the ring \u2013 both from the world of boxing and across the UFC. That includes UFC Welterweight king Kamaru Usman, who told the Club Shay Shay Podcast that he\u2019d want a $100 million cheque from Jake and his team to make a bout between the two happen. Well, now, Jake has responded to that price tag. The YouTuber-turned-boxer appeared on The Journey to talk about who he might take on in his return to the ring, when he was quizzed about Usman\u2019s demands. \u201cUsman is not worth the $100 million,\u201d Jake said pretty bluntly. \u201cHe is like a $3-5million type of guy, but again, he\u2019s owned by Dana, and again, whenever he gets let out of the contract, let\u2019s make it happen. He\u2019s easy money.\u201d As he has done previously, Jake also stated that it\u2019s unlikely he\u2019ll be able to fight anyone while they\u2019re under a UFC contract, just because it could leave egg on the face of the MMA promotion. \u201d It would be too much of a risk for him (Dana White) to let one of his fighters lose to me,\u201d he added. Timestamp of 20:00 In terms of who he might fight in August, Jake is remaining pretty coy on that, repeating that he\u2019s got a few ideas in mind. Whoever it is, his return to the ring is sure to garner plenty of interest, and if he wins, it\u2019ll be interesting to see who else comes out of the woodwork for next time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
