UFC president Dana White made some attention-grabbing statements ahead of UFC 268. The ever-outspoken executive went on the YouTube show Pardon My Take on fight week to reveal that a UFC 268 “prelim fighter” made $750,000.
In the process, White mentioned the supposed salary of two-time world boxing champion Badou Jack.
“You know this kid Bo (Badou) Jack? The boxer, right? Former world champion. He’s fighting this weekend, I guess, in the Middle East,” White said. “And he’s making $75,000. A guy who isn’t even… he’s on the prelims. Never been a world champion — and I won’t mention his name — is making $750,000.
