The rivalry between Dana White and Jake Paul has been going on for a long time now. One would think that the partnership between White and his elder brother, Logan Paul, may become the reason for the settlement of the beef between them. But as we can see, that hasn’t really happened. It all started with Jake Paul demanding a better paycheck for the UFC Fighters. Well, Dana White did not like that, as he claims that no fighter in UFC is underpaid. It is safe to say that the two don’t seem to settle their differences any time soon.
Dana White recently revealed the truth about whether Jake Paul is actually earning from his boxing fights. Even though the YouTuber-turned-boxer talked about the mind-blowing PPV buys in his recent Tommy Fury fight, White still thinks that it’s all a hoax, and brings up how Showtime has left the side of Jake Paul after Anderson Silva‘s fight.

Then he continued to talk about Jake Paul and his relationship with Stephen Espinoza. He stated that Espinoza did not invest in his recent fight, and that should speak volumes about Paul’s business.
White said, “Uhm let me tell you what! If Espinoza” Robbie Fox interrupted Dana White and said in between, “yeah the ‘Weasel’“. Dana White laughed and continued, “the ‘Weasel’. If the ‘Weasel’ would let him go after investing the money he did in his earlier fights, that tells you something. There’s no f**king way that guy would let him go if he was able to make money with him.”
