Jake Paul issues another statement attacking Dana WhiteDAZN
The YouTube star has once again criticised Dana White.

Jake Paul’s hostility towards Dana White isn’t showing any signs of decreasing.

The polarising Youtuber-turned-boxer has made it clear on multiple occasions that he is not happy with the pay structure in UFC and he’s urged the organisation's key figure to increase purses for fighters. 

Paul, who faces Tyron Woodley in September, issued a lengthy statement on social media, which targeted White and also highlighted his consistent grievances with the money paid to UFC stars.

“Dana White… you may have bullied your way to controlling thousands of fighters careers… but I have never said I want to sign with the UFC… nor will I ever,” wrote Paul.

“Maybe I would consider letting you co-promote one of my events against a UFC champion like you did for Conor when he fought Floyd… because you wouldn’t let Conor actually do it himself without you taking your cut. 

“You live in lies and every major fighter on your roster has complained about pay… Conor, Jones, Masvidal, Diaz, Ngannou. You even make up fake belts to sell tickets instead of giving Amanda Nunes her opportunity to headline. 

“Remember Dana you were a cardio kickboxing instructor and didn’t even create the UFC (Gracie and Davie created it, the Fertittas saved it, and the FIGHTERS made it popular) YOU’RE a bald bum who can’t do an interview now without being asked about me… pay your fighters more!!”
