Jake Paul slams \u201cbald bum\u201d Dana White as feud over UFC fighter pay intensifies Instagram\/JakePaul\/UFCYouTuber-turned-boxing sensation Jake Paul is continuing his feud with UFC President Dana White over not paying his fighters what they\u2019re worth ahead of Conor McGregor vs Dustin Poirier 3 on Saturday. Dana White and Jake Paul\u2019s feud has been going on for months, with the YouTuber desperately trying to fight top UFC talent \u2013 something White threatened Paul with legal action over, in the past. After the UFC boss disputed Jake Paul\u2019s Pay-Per-View numbers in his fight against Ben Askren, Paul went on the offensive, attacking White for not paying his fighters \u201ctheir fair share.\u201d Their feud reached new highs in late June, with Jake Paul contributing $5,000 to UFC rookie Sarah \u2018Too Sweet\u2019 Alpar\u2019s camp after she created a Go Fund Me to cover her costs leading up to UFC 266. Now, with UFC 264 on July 10 and megastar Conor McGregor returning to the octagon, Jake Paul is once again putting White on blast. In a long Twitter post, Paul accused White of \u201cbullying\u201d his way into \u201ccontrolling thousands of fighters\u2019 careers.\u201d \u201cMaybe I would consider letting you co-promote one of my events against a UFC champion like you did Conor when he fought Floyd, because you wouldn\u2019t let Conor actually do it himself without you taking your cut,\u201d he blasted. \u201cYou live in lies and every major fighter on your roster has complained about pay.\u201d He went on to state that Dana didn\u2019t even create the UFC, and that his own fighters made it popular. \u201cYou\u2019re a bald bum who can\u2019t do an interview now without being asked about me\u2026 pay your fighters more!\u201d he exclaimed. Dana White has yet to respond to Paul\u2019s comments, but it\u2019s very likely that he\u2019s been asked about them, like Jake predicted, in the post-fight press conference on Saturday after UFC 264. It\u2019s clear this feud is far from over, and there\u2019s no telling how personal things will get as Paul continues to make a name for himself in the boxing world with Paul\u2019s next fight being against former UFC champion Tyron Woodley in August.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
