Dana said that he would bet $1 million on Jake Paul losing against Ben Askren, but Jake knocked him out the in very first round of their boxing match, now Paul has posted a Tweet which goes like.
“Dana, you claimed you would be $1 million on me losing, set up Askren to train with Freddie Roach. Gave him full access to the UFCPI and he still got his ass handed to him.”
He added, “In my third fight, I made more money in total pay than any fighter in UFC history. Maybe it’s time to pay your fighters their fair share? No wonder they all want to get into boxing. Dana, you say you make the fights the fans want to see, so hurry up and make Jones vs. Ngannou. Pay them their fair share. $10 million purse for each guy plus pay-per-view.”
Paul’s last fight against Ben generated $75 million in revenue so he had all the right to call Dana out on this one.
