Jake Paul hits back at Dana White in ongoing UFC feud: \u201cPay your fighters\u201d Wikimedia Commons \/ Twitter: Jake PaulJake Paul hit back at Dana White\u2019s comments about the PPV numbers for his fight against Ben Askren, claiming the UFC President needs to \u201cpay his fighters their fair share.\u201d Jake Paul and Dana White have been feuding for a while now. However, it escalated in recent weeks after the UFC President threatened to take legal action against Jake if he keeps calling out UFC fighters. Seemingly unbothered by this, Jake showed up to the UFC 261 event in Jacksonville, Florida, despite being greeted by a symphony of boos and chants after being spotted in the crowd. In the post-fight press conference, a journalist asked Dana what he thought about the PPV numbers in the Triller Fight Club PPV, and he claimed they were \u201cfull of sh*t\u201d and \u201cdidn\u2019t pull those kinds of numbers at all.\u201d Jake responded by writing a lengthy post on Twitter and hit back at Dana by claiming he\u2019s already made more than \u201call but two UFC fighters have in history\u201d and urged him to \u201cpay his fighters their fair share.\u201d \u201cDana, you claimed you would bet $1 million on me losing,\u201d he said. [You also] set up Askren to train with Freddie Roach [and] gave him full access to UFC Performance Institute, and he still got his ass handed to him.\u201d Then, he called him a \u201cdouche\u201d and claimed he \u201cmade more in total pay than any other fighter in UFC history.\u201d \u201cMaybe it\u2019s time to pay your fighters their fair share? No wonder they all want to get into boxing\u2026 Why are UFC fighters so underpaid [compared to] boxers? Why did I make more in my third fight than all but two UFC fighters have in history? I know why\u2026\u201d It\u2019s not the first time the two have butted heads, and it won\u2019t be the last. Perhaps the feud will compel Dana to consider making a fight out of spite, which is probably exactly what Jake wants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
