Recently Jake Paul bashed UFC President Dana White on fighter pay, complaining that he was able to make more money boxing Ben Askren than 99% of White’s UFC roster will ever see fighting in MMA.
Also in Paul’s message to White was a plea to book Jon Jones versus Francis Ngannou for the UFC heavyweight title. “Pay them their fair share,” wrote Paul. “$10m purse for each guy, plus PPV.”
After Paul’s critique of White and UFC pay structures, Jones—no stranger to dissent when it comes to what ZUFFA pays its athletes—posted a curious tweet.
