Jake Paul Reveals Condition Under Which He Will Shut His Mouth About the UFC

Jake Paul recently took the time to address a few things about fighter pay and wants UFC President Dana White to cooperate if he wishes to not hear from him. Jake Paul has been very vocal about UFC minimum fighter pay and how it needs to change.

He wants the minimum fighter pay to increase from $12,500 to $50,000. Taking into consideration that the UFC has billions of dollars in revenue, Paul said it would not cost the company a lot of money to make this needed adjustment.

Jake Paul’s expectations from UFC and Dana White

Recently on his own podcast, Jake Paul spoke about UFC’s minimum fighters pay and how it needs to be changed.

“The only thing I’ve really asked for is for the minimum fighter pay, which is $12,500, to be changed to $50,000,” Paul said, as quoted by mmafighting.com. “So that if fighters who have to work multiple jobs, if they fight once a year even, they would still be able to live off of that and if it was twice a year, they’d make a hundred grand, which is great.

But now, if they’re fighting once a year, it’s $12,500, or twice a year would be $25,000. So that’s been my only ask to Dana to change, and that would only cost the UFC $20 million annually. So it seems like you made three, four billion dollars, why not just give a little bit more to the fighters? It’s only $20 million. That’s been my biggest thing. Make that change and I’ll shut the * up”.
