Jake Paul and Alex Pereira are not going to struggle.
The closest “The Downside Youngster” will get to a doable conflict with the UFC gentle heavyweight champion was certainly the callout he made after his newest boxing match final month. It doesn’t assist that UFC CEO Dana White has by no means been keen on Paul’s promotional techniques.
In Paul’s newest match, he scored a sixth-round TKO towards former UFC welterweight-turned-BKFC star Mike Perry. Paul, 27, made positive to capitalize on the second post-fight as he sometimes does. What caught everybody off guard was his shocking alternative within the callout of the celebrity MMA champion Pereira. All in-fight facets apart, White believes there isn’t even a comparability with regards to fight-selling skills between the 2.
“I don’t know if the fee would even let that f*cking struggle occur,” White mentioned on FULL SEND PODCAST. “Boxing or UFC? He would kick his f*cking head to a different planet. It might be … He calls folks out for consideration. Alex is a celebrity proper now. So Jake calls him out and Jake will get press.
“Jake says I’m attempting to assassinate him and I mentioned I’m gonna f*cking … It’s all lies. It’s not true. Yeah, [Pereira is more popular than Paul]. He sells 400 instances the f*cking pay-per-views. The Jake Paul struggle that simply occurred didn’t promote any f*cking pay-per-views. They don’t promote sh*t for pay-per-views. I’ll give him this: It’s fascinating they maintain getting new offers finished with these guys that gotta be getting f*cked.”
White and Paul have had temporary back-and-forths previously across the matter of fighter pay. No less than from Paul’s facet, because the boxer has made a number of challenges to not simply White however Conor McGregor.
Paul has had his eyes on MMA since he began his fight sports activities profession whether or not that’s within the type of opponents within the ring or with a teased profession and signing to PFL. The latter of which has but to start. In the end, White hears all of it as noise from the Ohioan.
“He’s doing his factor,” White mentioned. “He went on the market and lied and mentioned I might signal Mike Perry if he beat him, I’ve been attempting to assassinate him. You haven’t heard me say sh*t about Jake Paul, and the one time I ever speak about Jake Paul is that if I’m requested about him.
“He went out and lied and mentioned I mentioned all this sh*t. Do you suppose will all of the sh*t I’ve received occurring and what we’re doing I’m f*cking fascinated by Jake Paul? I’m not. And I don’t imply that in a solution to sh*t on the child, it’s simply the reality.”
Paul will return to motion towards 58-year-old boxing legend Mike Tyson in AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Tex. on Nov. 15.
