Jake Paul has repeatedly accused UFC president Dana White of underpaying fighters and taking undue credit (and profit) for UFC success. While White stressed that he believes the younger brothers’ pay-per-view numbers are accurate, he still disagrees that YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul has a valid opinion.
Are Fighters Getting Paid Enough in the UFC?

Lesser-known fighters like Yorgan De Castro, Jairgino Rozenstruik, Michelle Waterson, and Sam Alvey make less than $10,000 per fight.

Some fighters barely make enough money to live after these brutal fights.

Does the UFC Care about its Fighters?
Given his focus on many other potential Ultimate Fighting Championship opponents, including Jorge Masvidal, it makes financial sense for Paul to draw attention to the organization’s oppressive contracts and abuse of fighters, especially since Dana White himself Strongly disagrees with this idea. Paul challenges those who have signed with the UFC.

In an interview with Sports Business Journal last month, Paul, who has been actively pestering the UFC to provide medical care and raise fighter salaries, shared his stance on the matter. The offer came after Paul flirted with a chance to fight at middleweight to make his mixed martial arts debut.
