Home » UFC » “Minimum fighter pay to $50K…” – Jake Paul issues a ‘real challenge’ to Dana White

Jake Paul responded to Dana White’s recent steroid testing claims with a number of outrageous conditions

YouTuber-turned-professional boxer Jake Paul had one of the most memorable 2021s ever. He beat MMA stars Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley (x2) to go 5-0 up in his career.

During the promotions for these fights, Paul always made sure to callout UFC President Dana White. In a recent interview, he called White a ‘cokehead.’

A displeased White, in a recent interview with Teddy Atlas, claimed that he would allow Paul to cocaine test him if the ‘The Problem Child’ allowed to randomly steroid test him.

Paul in his recent Tweet, responded to White’s steroid testing claims with an outrageous ultimatum.

Assuring that he would retire from Boxing and fight Jorge Masvidal in the UFC (if White agreed to his ultimatum).

Here is what Paul’s Tweet read:

“Here is a real challenge for you… I will immediately retire from boxing and fight Jorge Masvidal in the UFC if you agree to:

1. Increase minimum fighter pay to $50k (it’s 12k currently)

2. Guarantee UFC fighters 50% of the UFC annual revenues ($1bn in 2021)

3. Provide long term health care to all fighters (you previously said brain damage is part of the gig… Imagine if the NFL said that). There are many UFC alums who have publicly said they are suffering from brain damage. 

You have 5 days to accept and to implement the above by March 31, 2022. Once implemented I will immediately retire from boxing, enter USADA and agree to a 1 fight deal with the UFC to fight weak chin Jorge Masvidal.”

Tony Bellew not pleased with Jake Paul’s 2022 goals

Jake Paul recently laid out his goals for the year 2022. A large part of them were aimed at Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather.

‘The Problem Child’ had also mentioned about carrying the sport of Boxing. Former cruiserweight champ Tony Bellew took a disliking to it.

Replying to Paul, Bellew wrote:

“You couldn’t carry the jockstrap of a proper BOXER son.. please rephrase point 4!”c
