Jake Paul is still on his mission to improve fighter pay but doesn’t mind taking a timeout to take a few shots at Conor McGregor.
Jake Paul has been growing in popularity over the past few years. At this time he might be one of the most well-known boxers on the planet. So far he has made his success in beating former MMA fighters inside the ring. He is making a lot of money doing this and is trying to bring other fighters up with him.
Meanwhile a bum whose claim to fame is being Conor’s friend is making a bigger purse to box a YouTuber than all current UFC champions.
UFC makes almost $500 million a year. If they were to increase minimum fighter pay to $50K per fight, at most it will cost them $20 million. https://t.co/QeDyfamCPV

In his tweet, Paul took aim at Dillon Danis a friend of Conor McGregor who will be making his boxing debut against KSI next month. In the lead-up to this “celebrity boxing match” Danis has explained that he is making more money than most UFC champions.
Jake Paul turns his sights on Conor McGregor after fighter pay tweet
McGregor recently took a shot at Paul in a roundabout way by criticizing the so-called celebrity boxing matches. When asked if he would ever fight in that sort of fight he said no and in turn found himself in the crosshairs of Paul.
You fight for belts? Last time you fought for a belt was 4 years ago. Lost 3 of your last 4 fights.
I would knock you out in the squared circle with one hand tied behind my back. To be fair, in the cage I would need two hands. But same result. https://t.co/l16smWT0vq

These two have been going back and forth on social media for years. McGregor is of course out of fighting right now and healing up from an injury. If the two were finally able to actually fight it would probably be one of the biggest fights in history. Paul of course seems interested although McGregor seems to be targeting a UFC return next year.
