Anderson Silva insists Jake Paul fight won't be biggest payday of his career

UFC legend Anderson Silva has refuted Jake Paul 's claim that their upcoming fight could be the biggest payday of his illustrious fighting career.

Silva, 47, looks to hand Paul, 25, his first boxing loss when the pair fight on October 29 at the Gila River Arena in Phoenix. Paul has admitted that Silva, who is widely considered one of the best UFC fighters ever, is his toughest challenge to date. The YouTube star thinks his fight with Silva will do well on pay-per-view and it could lead to the highest payday of the Brazilian's career to date.

“I think this could be the biggest payday of his career,” Paul told MMA Fighting. “Just because this is like my first big fight.
