Jake Paul warned his plan to fight Conor McGregor in UFC won't work

Jake Paul has been told his plan to fight Conor McGregor in the UFC won't succeed while he continues to campaign for an increase in fighter pay.

Paul has frequently called out McGregor to a fight throughout his five-fight boxing career and has attempted to entice the superstar into the ring or cage. Most recently Paul offered the UFC president Dana White a chance to make the fight in the octagon providing fighter pay within the promotion is increased if he wins.

However former UFC heavyweight Brendan Schaub believes White would avoid making a meeting if there is too much financial risk involved in a payment restructure. "So I told Jake remember the deal he offered Dana, when he goes 'Hey I'll fight Conor in the UFC, if i win though you have got to increase the minimum salary for fighters and if I lose you can donate my salary to the rest of the card'," Schaub said on the Impaulsive podcast.
