"He (Jake Paul) doesn't sell a million (packages). Floyd (Mayweather) and Logan (Paul) sold, that's a real number, and it was good for them” said Dana White.
Dana White also commented on some statements by Tyron woodley. The former Ultimate champion stated that he will earn three or four times more money in the fight against Jake Paul than in any other UFC fight.
“I have heard that. They are all talking a lot of nonsense. What exactly is he (Woodley) wanting? If it's so much money and he's so proud of how much it is, then how much is it? For my part, I would like to read the contract”, added the president.
Tyron woodley left the UFC at the beginning of 2021, with the end of his contract. After four consecutive defeats for the organization, the former welterweight champion (up to 77,1 kg) is looking to regain his victories. The fight against Jake Paul it will be his boxing debut
On the other hand, on April 17th, Jake Paul faced Ben Askren, also a former UFC fighter. At the time, the YouTuber won the fight by knockout just over a minute into the fight.
