Jake Paul has officially joined the Professional Fighters League (PFL) and is now a co-founder of the new PFL pay-per-view super fight division. 'The Problem Child', who has been advocating for higher fighter pay, believes he has finally found a solution to the problem. With the introduction of the new PPV division, he aims to give fighters 50% of the revenue from fights.
Per Marca, he spoke about his intentions with this new league:
"This is about changing MMA, disrupting, innovating, and creating the next big league."
He added:
"I would beat Nate Diaz up in an MMA fight. There's nothing he could do. To me, I've always felt like I've jumped in the deep end, even in boxing, maybe besides, like, Ben Askren."
In his announcement video, Jake Paul explained how the new PFL division would work. He also spoke about how fighters will be allowed to promote brands of their choice on their clothes while fighting, which is not allowed in the UFC. According to Paul, he will 'disrupt' the MMA world and ensure all the fighters get paid well, including bonuses when they win.
Jake Paul has always criticized Dana White for the way he runs the UFC and for 'underpaying' his fighters. He now gets the chance to practically run his own division and pay figures.

Jake Paul has offered Nate Diaz a two-fight contract with a boxing match and an MMA fight
Jake Paul has made his first move following his transition to MMA. Although he hasn't given up on his dream of becoming a boxing world champion, he is currently looking to make his MMA debut. As part of his signing with the PFL, he claims he has sent Nate Diaz a two-fight contract which includes a boxing match first followed by an MMA fight:
"I'm so dedicated to this that I offered Nate Diaz a two-fight deal. First, we box, then six months later, we fight MMA in the PFL smart cage and lay it all on the line. If that's not balls then I don't know what is. Nate Diaz, I'm down to fight you in your own damn sport."
Jake Paul wants to fight Nate Diaz in the boxing ring as well as in an MMA cage. The YouTuber-turned-boxer has a good wrestling background since he used to compete as a child. Fans want to see this fight happen since Diaz himself is a free agent.
