Jake Paul entered the boxing world with no end. After wrapping up a strong but unusual year in 2020, beating social media star Ali Eson Gib and former NBA player Nate Robinson, Paul continued his momentum with a trio of wins this year.
The YouTube star stopped former MMA fighter Ben Askren from dying on his track in mid-April, knocking him out in the first round. He then continued that with a back-to-back victory over former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley. After his most recent trip to the ring this past weekend, Paul gloated with his devastating sixth-round win over Woodley.
With the confrontation with Woodley officially over, Paul believes a vacation is right. Despite millions and millions of dollars in his bank account, Paul claims that he hasn’t taken a proper vacation in years. So, with three wins under the belt and years of training, Paul has admitted he fully intends to warm up and relax both his mind and body.
However, while Paul is currently choosing between different vacation destinations, he has an idea of who he wants to face next.
As both Paul and Woodley swapped fists in the middle of the ring at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida, UFC star Jorge Masvidal nestled comfortably into his ringside seat. Both Paul and Masvidal have exchanged contradictory words on social media for several months now. With Paul officially putting Woodley behind him, the social media star has now set his sights on the UFC heavyweight contender.
Paul said: “Masvidal, I have an offer for you right now. “5 million dollars guaranteed plus pay per view percentage. Let’s make it happen. That’s the highest you’ll ever get paid. ”
On several occasions, Masvidal warned Paul that the union of the two would lead to a quick and painful demise. But while Paul is keen to face Masvidal next, he believes UFC President Dana White could be an obstacle to making their contest a reality.
“Daddy Dana just let you out of your contract. You work for the UFC. You are basically a bitch. ”
Masvidal, 37, recently signed a new deal with the UFC in 2020. Since signing that new contract, “Gamebred” has lost to Kamaru Usman in head-to-head events, the tournament will then come to a halt. at the end of April.
Keeping in mind Masvidal’s star power, it’s unlikely that White would agree to let him go for nothing. Taking that into consideration, Masvidal was currently ignoring Paul’s offer. Unless, of course, the new professional boxer moves on to add a few zeros.
Masvidal said on his social media account: “UFC will not let me change the game. “Make sure of those 20 plus PPV and I’m sure the UFC will be fine with that as long as I drop their fees and then I’ll be happy to break your face.”
Before Paul has a chance to accept Masvidal’s new offer or leave the negotiating table, the UFC star has another alternative that Paul should consider.
“If the UFC still says no because the money is still too low, then go to the UFC. Sign a fight agreement 1 and we can stipulate that I can only box in the cage. If I do anything other than that, I will lose my wallet to you. Come here and get paid and arranged. ”
