Jake Paul discusses his venture, MVP, which manages 400 fighters in boxing and MMA, aiming to challenge organizations like the UFC and PFL. He criticizes the UFC's fighter pay structure, stating fighters receive only about 15% of revenue compared to 50% in other leagues, which he believes leads to fighter dissatisfaction and a desire to seek opportunities elsewhere.
“So first and foremost is they don't put fighters first. So they pay their fighters roughly 15% of their total revenue, which in other professional sports leagues, it's 50% 5-0. And so the fighters are pissed. They want to leave. They want to go box. They want to go find to make money somewhere else.”
“And so because of that, the big fights aren't happening. They're not willing to pay for the big fights, and people don't want to risk it. They're not putting on the fights that fans want to see.”
“And we just merged with PFL. And it's going to be a very exciting next couple of years.”
