‘They’re full of sh-t’ - Dana White disputes claims about Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren PPV buys

A week ago, Triller held its spectacle of an event headlined by YouTuber Jake Paul and former UFC fighter Ben Askren. Initial reports say it did at least 1.45 million PPV buys and could top 2 million. Paul claims it already made 1.5 million buys and generated around $75 million in revenue.

With the amount of money and eyeballs supposedly generated by the event, UFC president White was asked if there could be a possible collaboration with Triller and/or Jake Paul down the line. Not only did he reiterate his stance against it, but he also questioned the validity of the numbers that were released.
