YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul has never struck a chord with Dana White ever since he entered the fight game. From the UFC CEO claiming that the 28-year-old’s fights are rigged to the latter raising the issue of low fighter pay in White’s promotion, there were several shots exchanged by both parties. However, the relationship that the 55-year-old shares with Jake’s brother, Logan Paul, is a different story altogether.
In January, two years ago, Dana White and Logan Paul came together to form a partnership as the YouTuber-cum-WWE Superstar’s beverage brand, PRIME, became the promotion’s official hydration partner. Since then, the duo have been seen together enjoying a cordial relationship, which Jake Paul understands given that they’re in business together. But the fact that Logan doesn’t show a bit of support for his younger brother doesn’t sit well with ‘El Gallo’.
“It’s weird. I don’t know. It’s just guess it’s just business at the end of the day,” Jake Paul stated on the RING CHAMPS podcast. “But what I don’t like is that my brother could technically do business with them but still choose a side, but he doesn’t do that. And that’s what I don’t like.”

Jake Paul, however. would mention that he has never been subjected to any kind of partiality from his brother due to his ties with Dana White, or even his YouTube rival, KSI. But even though Logan can “back” his brother’s opinions, he doesn’t tend to do so only because he doesn’t want to ruin any of the relationships he’s forged, be it in the family or his professional career.
“He’s like friendly to both… PRIME pays the UFC to be a sponsor. Logan could publicly back me, and the UFC can’t do anything about that,” Jake Paul added. “I know he’s not going to do anything to change it… Same thing [with KSI]… He’s just wanting to play both sides.”
While Jake Paul maintains that he will never sever ties with his brother because of how he feels about Logan Paul‘s associations, both of them recently raised some eyebrows when they announced that they’ll be competing against each other in a boxing match.

Yes, it’s surprising, but it’s true. The Paul brothers recently took to Instagram to share a post of both of them facing each other, with the caption: “The moment you’ve waited a decade for… March 27 on [HBO’s Max streaming service].” This is huge news partly because of HBO’s involvement as Jake Paul seems to have raised his stock after his massive Mike Tyson boxing match on Netflix.

This news also comes as a huge surprise due to the reason that Logan Paul had been touted to fight Conor McGregor in a rumored $250 million boxing match. But then again, the tease from the Paul brothers could also mean that they may not fight each other, and instead, fight on the same card. But unless we get any further developments on this front, we can’t be sure what to expect when March 27 hits the calendar.
