Jake Paul goes off on KSI & Dana White

Jake Paul had some choice words for KSI and Dana White in his recent interview on DAZN.

On August 6, the Madison Square Garden will have not only fight fans but also a mix of celebrities, social media influencers, and entertainers due to the main event. Jake Paul (5-0) returns to put his undefeated record on the line against heavyweight prospect Hasim Rahman Jr. (12-1) live on Showtime PPV.

Aside from the fight being shown on PPV here in the U.S., DAZN has recently made a deal with all parties involved with the event to stream the fight in the U.K and Ireland for their subscribers. This is big news as this fight will now have global exposure with the event being free for those that are subscribed and reside in those countries.

Speaking of the main event, Paul was recently on the “DAZN Boxing Show” with Ak & Barak. Although they talked about the global distribution of the event and his opponent, the question came up about the Paul Family’s bitter rival KSI. The social media influencer KSI had some choice words to say about Paul recently, and he was asked about his thoughts concerning the comments from the Brit. Paul told Ak & Barak, “He makes no money compared to me. I have made 45 million dollars in boxing. I’m one of the top five highest-paid athletes under 25. The numbers speak for themselves. I have built my PPV price over time. That is something he hasn’t done.”

Paul continued, “It’s two different levels, two different worlds. The kid is an internet star. He’s pushing 30 years old. You go online and look at our Google search trends and compare our searches online. I sh*t on him even in his own country. In the U.K, I get twice as many searches as him, even in his own country. He’s popular; he has a lot of clout but is not built like me and not on the same level as me.” At this point, Paul seemed annoyed but could control his emotions and not let the comments get under his skin.

Later in the interview, Paul was asked about Dana White’s comments that Nate Diaz doesn’t want to fight him. Paul said, “It is what it is. He is saying that because I’ve knocked out his UFC Champion. I’ve knocked out Ben Askren, who was a big UFC Star at one point. He is just doing anything he can to discredit me. I beat every single person in the UFC in a boxing match that’s in my weight class which is around 170-175. He knows that if I fought in his organization, it would be one of the biggest UFC PPV’s ever. And I told him that I was down to fight for free in MMA. He just had to increase his fighter’s healthcare and the minimum fighter pay because he pays his fighters $12,000. And I want him to pay his fighters at least $50,000 per fight.”

Towards the end of the interview, Paul was asked about his next three opponents if he had a choice and mentioned Mike Tyson, Anderson Silva & Nate Diaz. The interview also went into why Amanda Serrano is not fighting Katie Taylor on the 6th, Tommy Fury, and much more.
