Jake Paul has blasted UFC star Paddy Pimblett's management after claiming he is being "pimped" by the promotion with his current £9,000 contract.
Pimblett admitted he was paid just $12,000 to fight Kazula Vargas on the main card of a sold-out UFC London event, which is said to have drawn the biggest gate in the 15-year history of The O2 arena. He earned another $12,000 for winning, and his finish earned him a further $50,000 bonus.
But had things gone wrong for the Liverpool fighter, he would have been paid just his show money, which amounts to around £9,000. Paul believes that this is a fundamental issue with the promotion, and has argued the case for how the base salary should be more than four times the amount it currently is.
