Jake Paul plans to finish his UFC fighter pay marketing campaign if Dana White makes one change.
Since Paul has turn out to be a boxer, he has taken goal at White and the UFC’s pay mannequin. He has needed the promotion to up the minimal fighter pay, however regardless of him always bringing it up publicly, a change has but to occur.
Now, talking on his podcast, Jake Paul says his ask to Dana White and the UFC is to vary the pay to minium pay to $50,000. He believes that could be very possible to do for the UFC, however Paul doubts White will do it.
“The one factor I’ve actually requested for is for the minimal fighter pay, which is $12,500, to be modified to $50,000,” Paul mentioned on BS w/ Jake Paul (through MMAMania). “In order that fighters who need to work a number of jobs, in the event that they struggle yearly even, they’d nonetheless be capable to reside off of that. In the event that they had been twice a yr, they’d make $100,000, which is nice.
“Now, in the event that they’re preventing yearly, it’s like $12,500 or twice a yr can be $25,000,” Paul continued. “That’s been my solely ask to Dana to vary and that will solely price the UFC $20 million yearly. So, it looks as if, ‘Oh, you made $3-$4 billion why not simply give a bit bit extra to the fighters? It’s solely $20 million.’ That’s been my largest factor. Make that change and I’ll shut the f*ck up.”
At present, Dana White has but to reply to Paul’s current request to up fighter pay to $50,000.
