At the start of 2022, Jake Paul and Dana White got into a heated back-and-forth over social media, with Paul offering to retire from boxing and compete in the UFC if White raised fighter pay and provided long-term healthcare. White did not take the bait, instead trashing Paul’s manager as a “scumbag” and suggesting that Paul does steroids. And so, having made no discernible headway in this battle, Paul is now attacking the problem for a new angle.
On Tuesday morning, Paul announced via his Twitter that he has invested in Endeavor, the parent company of the UFC, with the intent of driving from within the change he has campaigned for publicly.

It’s unclear at this time how much Paul has invested in this venture or what the likelihood of success will be in raising fighter pay and providing healthcare to UFC fighters; after all, that $4 billion price tag needs to be paid. But at the very least, this is another shot across the bow from Paul towards Dana White and a savvy promotional move from “The Problem Child.”
