#2 Jake Paul rips Dana White for saying his shelf life is short
Dana White was asked on the Full Send podcast whether he would do business with Jake Paul. In his reply, the UFC boss said that while he didn't hate the YouTube sensation, he didn't see any collaboration happening, and that he believed that Jake Paul's shelf life was going to be short. White said:
"I just don't see it happening. I don't hate the kid (Jake Paul). Is he f**king annoying? Yeah, he's annoying. He's out there trying to make that money, and his shelf life is very f**king short.. I think for him to get the media back, he's gonna have to fight somebody."
"They're tired of the schtick. 'Hey, it's me, I weigh 190, and I want to fight these guys that weigh 170, 155, and they're wrestling, and they're 40 f**king years old, and they haven't won a fight in three f**king years.' If he wants to be taken seriously now by the real media, I think he needs to fight a real fight."
Dana White's comments didn't go down well with Jake Paul, who hit out at the UFC supremo on social media. In a Twitter post, Paul joked about giving up on his life while also sharing an old picture of Dana White and mocking him.
In another Tweet, Jake Paul compared his Google search results to Conor McGregor's, and suggested that the UFC company man was losing his appeal.
#1 "I'm affecting his pockets" - Jake Paul rips Dana White, calls him an 'old hater'
Jake Paul has become an unavoidable subject for Dana White to discuss during his UFC press conferences. From claiming the Paul brothers' reported salaries to be untrue to calling their fight business bogus, the UFC president has spoken about his newfound rivals quite a few times.
Saying that he felt like the no. 1 UFC fighter, going by how much Dana White had discussed him, Jake Paul said:
"I just think it’s funny. If you really are losing relevance, then no one talks about you. The fact this guy (Dana White) talks about me more than he talks about any other fighters of his, it’s pretty funny. You would think Jake Paul’s the No. 1 fighter in the UFC the way he promotes me. He's an old hater."
Paul added that he has affected the UFC's business model by showing that fighters can earn more outside the MMA promotion. He also fired shots at Dana White, criticizing his monopolistic practices by pointing out that while the UFC boss was betting millions of dollars in casinos, his fighters were looking for public funding. 'The Problem Child' said in this regard:
"He sees what I’m doing to his business model. I’m affecting his pockets. I’m talking about fighter pay. This guy’s betting $7 million on blackjack, but his fighters are starting GoFundMe pages. There’s all this bad press about him coming out because of me, and that’s messing up his business, and he’s going to say whatever he can to diminish what I have going on, and try to ruin it. What he doesn’t understand about the internet is him talking about me only adds fuel to my fire."
