YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul has repeatedly mentioned his concerns regarding UFC fighter pay. He even took shots at President Dana White for this recurring problem in his promotion. Meanwhile, his brother Logan Paul appeared in an interview with ‘Sports Illustrated’ and spoke about the genuineness of ‘The Problem Child’s concern and the reason for targeting the UFC boss.

Jake Paul is set to take on former UFC star Nate Diaz in the latter’s first-ever boxing match this weekend in Dallas. On the other hand, his brother Logan Paul sat down for an interview and expressed ‘The Problem Child’s constant campaigns regarding fighter pay. Let’s see what he had to say.

Logan Paul claims that Jake Paul really cares about UFC fighter pay

The older Paul brother mentioned that his brother really wants to help UFC fighters get their due. It is not something that Jake Paul throws in the air to garner attention. Rather, he really wants to work for the athletes’ betterment. “The fighter pay issue, it’s all real. It’s 100 percent real. He [Jake Paul] really cares,” Logan Paul told ‘Sports Illustrated’.

He further mentioned that Jake Paul understands the position he’s in. Seeing that, he wants to make an impact on the sport of MMA. The most important way he can contribute to the sport is by focusing on the issue of fighter pay. ‘The Maverick’ added, “He, as an innovator, understands that he can have a real, long-lasting impact in this sport, beyond just his own legacy, if he points his finger at the fighter pay issue.” Logan Paul also revealed the reason for his brother is targeting UFC president Dana White.

Dana White is the perfect target for ‘The Problem Child’

During the interview, Logan Paul mentioned that it is important for a campaign to have a target for its success. Incidentally, Jake Paul chose to point his finger at UFC president Dana White. He said, “Now the person he happens to be pointing his finger at, at the moment, is Dana White, which in general, if you’re going to lead a campaign against, it’s good to have a target.”

Furthermore, ‘The Maverick’ spoke about the advantages of going after Dana White. He believes that it gives Jake Paul and his associates the required goal and motivation to succeed in their campaign. Logan Paul said, “[Choosing Dana White as the target] gives him ammunition and his troops something or perhaps someone to rally around.”

Jake Paul didn’t work his way as a professional athlete. He was a YouTuber, a social media influencer, and a Disney star. He grew in his career as an entertainer. However, when he shifted his focus to boxing and combat sports, ‘The Problem Child’ understood that he had to give something in return. This is where the UFC fighter pay comes into play since he wishes to do MMA in the future as well. “He really wants to make a difference in the sport that he’s participating in, beyond just his legacy as an athlete in that sport,” said Logan Paul.

Jake Paul’s campaign for fighter pay hasn’t made much of a difference in the UFC. However, there is still time for that to come into effect as we wait to see how things pan out in the future.
