Jake Paul Criticizes Dana White Over UFC Deal

Jake Paul recently defeated Mike Tyson in a Netflix-broadcasted boxing match, which garnered over 60 million viewers and set a record gate of over $18 million in Texas. Following the fight, Paul criticized UFC CEO Dana White, accusing him of failing as a boxing promoter and suggesting he is holding Conor McGregor 'hostage' due to contractual obligations with the UFC. Paul highlighted his event's success, claiming it surpassed all UFC event gates in history. Meanwhile, UFC fighter Jorge Masvidal expressed frustration at being unable to fight Paul while still under contract with the UFC. Paul's ongoing feud with White stems from long-standing disagreements over fighter pay and promotional decisions. As Paul calls for a fight with McGregor, he faces challenges due to McGregor's existing UFC commitments.
