Jake Paul believes that the UFC will do "anything to avoid paying fighters" after hearing nothing back from his offer to fight Nate Diaz for free.
Paul has put himself at the mercy of the top MMA promotion, declaring that he will take no purse to face Diaz, but laid out very concrete terms on where that money should go. He wants the deal to include assurances that the promotion will increase their minimum payout for fighters from $12,000 to $50,000 and provide long-term healthcare for competitors.
Of course, such a deal would result in millions being spent over the next few years, but it would offer an opportunity to shut up Paul's trash talking with a massively unfavourable match-up. However, the UFC appear to have no interest, with the YouTuber-turned-boxer telling The MMA Hour that he wasn't even contacted about the possibility.
