Jake Paul 's former opponent Ben Askren thinks the YouTuber-turned-boxer isn't being sincere with his efforts to improve MMA fighter pay.
Paul, 25, challenged UFC legend Anderson Silva to help him set up a union for MMA fighters if he was to win their fight this past weekend. Silva will now have to take Paul up on the bet as he lost a unanimous decision to 'The Problem Child', who extended his unbeaten record to six professional fights with the win.
Askren, who was brutally knocked out by Paul in their fight last year, thinks his former opponent isn't addressing MMA fighter pay in enough detail. “Jake’s a little disingenuous on it," Askren told MMA News. "He’s not going in-depth enough. He just keeps being like 'the fighters aren’t paid enough, the fighters aren’t paid enough’ and there’s so much more to it.
