Dana White Fans Rain on Jake Paul’s Parade as The Problem Child ‘Begs’ for Attention With $5 Million Wager

YouTube sensation, Jake Paul, is all set to take on his idol and the former UFC middleweight champion, Anderson Silva on October 29. The fight will take place in Phoenix, Arizona, and will be Paul’s first match since his knockout victory over Tyron Woodley last December.

However, it looks like The Problem Child has some scores to settle with Silva’s former boss and UFC president, Dana White. In the pre-fight press conference, Paul called out White and claimed that the UFC president owed him a million dollars after his victory over Ben Askren. Now, the Ohio-based boxer had another wager for White. Paul is willing to bet $5 million on himself to win against The Spider and wants White to take up this bet.

Paul said, “Dana, I know you’re watching, bro. You still owe me a million dollars from when you bet against me on Ben Askren. I want you to come out of hiding, stop being a b**ch and make a bet against me and Anderson and actually pay up this time because you didn’t think I would take this fight. So let’s make a bet, Let’s put a mil, let’s put two mil, let’s put 5 mil on it.”

However, the YouTube star did not get the response he was hoping for, as the fans were quick to dismiss Paul’s antics.

Fans rain down on Jake Paul

One fan stated that Paul might have already paid Silva to lose, and thus seems very confident in making the bet. “Sounds like he already paid Silva to lose,” he wrote.

Another fan claimed that Paul is always seeking attention, especially White’s by saying, “He begs for Dana’s attention so much.”

Moreover, one fan wanted to know the reason why Paul is so obsessed with making bets all the time. He said, “Why is he obsessed with bets.”

Yet another fan also suggested that the bout might be fixed and stated that White will not bet $5 million on a fixed bout. “Why would Dana bet 5 million in a fixed fight?”  he quoted.

The fans were not having Paul’s antics as they immediately called out The Problem Child for seeking attention. Moreover, it is unlikely that White will respond to him as he previously stated that he was sick of talking about Paul.

Dana White has had enough of Paul

In an interview with TMZ, White explicitly stated that he did not care about the fight. “I don’t care about that. I literally was saying the other day, everybody keeps asking me about Jake. This guy’s not even in my sport, I don’t care,” he concluded.

The UFC president and Paul have become rivals in recent years, with The Problem Child constantly calling him out for the way he runs his company, and White criticizing Paul’s boxing skills and relevance in the sport.
