Jake Paul believes Dana White is trying to "hurt" his upcoming pay-per-view bout with Anderson Silva which takes place on October 29.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer is set to face legendary former UFC middleweight champion Silva in Arizona next week, after the Brazilian's former promoter claimed that he would never take such a fight. And he believes White has made an effort to hinder the fight's promotion as he looks to hit a solid pay-per-view number for his first fight of the year.
Paul's feud with White started as a petty rivalry, the likes of which he has with countless fighters and social media stars. But when he began to call out the UFC boss on issues such as fighter pay and began working towards starting a union for combat athletes, it started to get a little bit more serious.
