Jake Paul’s back again calling out Dana White as he reignites his feud with the UFC President this time for disrespecting Francis Ngannou and his team.
Previously, Paul had called out White for not paying the UFC fighters fairly who by research do substantially make much lesser than a professional boxer and said that he would retire from boxing and fight Jorge Masvidal in a one-fight deal inside the octagon if, White could increase minimum fighter pay from $12k – $15k, guarantee 50% of UFC’s annual revenues to fighters, and provide long term healthcare to them and gave him 5 days to accept the offer.
White hit out at ‘The Problem Child’ for being stupid and having someone else write up his conditions for which he called out Nakisa Bidarian who is Paul’s manager and used to be the UFC’s CFO.
This led to a continuous back-and-forth retaliation between the two until it seemed to calm down for a bit. But now it’s back to the headlines being spoken about the two as Jake Paul tweeted, “Francis Ngannou deserves much better than the lies and disrespect Dana White has shown him and his manager. It’s time for everyone to say Fuck Dana White and support the men and women who put their bodies at risk to make him fat and rich. #FuckDana“.
Will Dana White respond or choose to ignore such a comment, we shall find out soon.
Jake Paul makes an investment in UFC parent company’s shares in an effort to increase fighter pay
Jake Paul and his business partner Geoffrey Woo announced on social media on Tuesday that they’ve invested in Endeavor, the UFC’s parent company.
Endeavor acquired the UFC for $4 billion back in 2016, but only became a publicly-traded company last year and Paul now made an investment into the company with the goal of increasing UFC fighters’ pay.
His tweet read, “I’ve invested in EDR (UFC) stock with my partner @geoffreywoo 2 focus on UFCs ESG standards relating to fighters. We believe EDR can drive long-term economic value by increasing UFC fighter pay & providing them healthcare. Reaching out to @EngineNo_1 to partner on this “endeavor” “.
In a series of tweets, Geoffrey Woo went on to explain who he is and what their ultimate goal is as you can read below.
For now, it’s not known how big of an investment he’s made and how fruitful his dealings will be, but Paul seemingly looks to genuinely care about athletes’ pay and this gets jotted down as another shot taken at Dana White.
