Jake Paul is open to partnering with Dana White
During a recent appearance on Theo Von‘s podcast, Jake Paul was asked about Dana White‘s move into a new sport with Zuffa Boxing.
The 29-year-old slammed the UFC boss for making rookie errors, including paying Conor Benn $15 million for one boxing bout when more famous MMA stars make far less money.
“They just started, and they are already making a lot of mistakes,” Paul said.
“They are quite basic. Like, you don’t wanna pay Conor Benn $15 million to an easy-ass fight against Regis [Prograis] right off rip, because your whole UFC model 1/3 of that, max.
“They already f—ed up bad.”
Paul went on to shockingly express a willingness to sell his company to White.
“If they were to buy us or partner with us, they would have such a better outcome,” Paul added.
“I’m open to it. Buy us! We’ll help you guys not be idiots.
“I don’t have an ego, bro. I’ll work with anybody.”
