Jake Paul<\/a> recently extended a surprising offer to UFC president Dana White<\/a>, saying he’s willing to sell Most Valuable Promotions after criticizing White’s early mistakes with Zuffa Boxing.<\/p>\n

During an appearance on Theo Von’s podcast<\/a>, Paul addressed White’s recent venture into boxing. The YouTuber-turned-boxer specifically called out White’s decision to pay Conor Benn $15 <\/a>million for a single fight against Regis Prograis.<\/p>\n

They just started, and they are already making a lot of mistakes. They are quite basic. Like, you don’t wanna pay Conor Benn $15 million to an easy-ass fight against Regis [Prograis] right off rip, because your whole UFC model 1\/3 of that, max. They already fu**ed up bad.<\/p>\n

Paul further made an unexpected pitch to the UFC president, offering to either sell MVP or partner with White’s new boxing venture.<\/p>\n

If they were to buy us or partner with us, they would have such a better outcome. I’m open to it. Buy us! We’ll help you guys not be idiots.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old highlighted his willingness to work with anyone, including his long-time rival.<\/p>\n

I don’t have an ego, bro. I’ll work with anybody.<\/p>\n
