When Jake Paul first stepped into the boxing ranks, it was to settle scores with other YouTubers. Though, since defeating AnEsonGib and former NBA star Nate Robinson, he has gone on to face real fighters. Paul delivered a knockout win over Ben Askren back in April, which kicked his trash talk into a new gear. After that win, he set his targets for potential opponents a little higher, calling out the likes of Conor McGregor, Saul \u2018Canelo\u2019 Alvarez, and Nate Diaz. In the case of McGregor, Paul claimed the Irish superstar could make $50 million if they squared off, half of what the UFC star got for fighting Floyd Mayweather. Though, Jorge Masvidal isn\u2019t believing any of the offers he puts out there. The UFC Welterweight contender has been subject to some of Paul\u2019s trash talk in the last few months as he comes off the back of two defeats in the Octagon. Speaking on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani, Masvidal said the UFC doesn\u2019t give a \u201cflying f**k\u201d about Paul and his offers, and that he makes more money inside the cage. \u201cThis guy talks a lot about \u2018I\u2019m going to write you a $50 million check,\u2019 but go look at the pay-per-views that he\u2019s selling. He ain\u2019t writing nobody $50 million checks,\u201d Gamebred said. \u201cGo actually look at the f**king numbers that they actually sold on Showtime or on Triller or whatever thing he\u2019s talking about. He doesn\u2019t have that money. He\u2019s trolling the whole world saying all these big-money deals.\u201d Timestamp of 12:45 While the pair aren\u2019t going to square off anytime soon, Masvidal admitted that he\u2019d be open to fighting Jake when he\u2019s done with the UFC. \u201cWhen I am done beating up world-class fighters, this bum will still be around \u2014 I\u2019ll go and collect a quick paycheck for hitting him so f**king hard in front of the whole world,\u201d he added. Though, who knows when that\u2019ll be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UFC star Masvidal accuses Jake Paul of \u201ctrolling\u201d with fake fight offers for big money Instagram: JakePaul\/GamebredFighterUFC\u2019s Jorge \u2018Gamebred\u2019 Masvidal believes Jake Paul is \u201ctrolling the world\u201d with some of the fight offers he throws, claiming he doesn\u2019t have the cash to back them up.
