YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul continues to prod the UFC over fighter pay with his latest shot being directed towards Paddy Pimblett’s UFC London fight purse.

Last Saturday night at the O2 Arena, Paddy Pimblett was arguably the most popular fighter on the card. In what was described as the ‘people’s main event’, the 27-year-old overcame some early adversity and beat Kazula Vargas with a phenomenal first round submission.

The crowd went crazy, Paddy celebrated, and thus, a star was born.

There was speculation that Pimblett had received a pretty nice sum with regards to his pay from the event but as per the man himself, he got $12,000 to fight, $12,000 for the win and $50,000 as a bonus.

Even though fighter pay is an issue that many fans of the sport are familiar with, some still couldn’t wrap their head around the figures being quoted by ‘The Baddy’.

Jake Paul, who we all know to be one of the leading voices on this subject, couldn’t help but weigh in when he heard the news.

“Paddy Pimblett getting pimped. Who manages these guys?”

With the UFC continuing to go from strength to strength financially, it doesn’t seem as if they’ll be doing much to alter their business strategy anytime soon.

When is Jake Paul next fighting?

The official answer to this question is “nobody knows”.

‘The Problem Child’ is currently focusing his attention on Amanda Serrano’s upcoming unification bout with Katie Taylor, with Most Valuable Promotions assisting in the promotion of the Madison Square Garden event.

Once the dust has settled on that collision, it’s expected that Paul will return to the boxing ring within a matter of months.

Funnily enough Paddy Pimblett is one of the many fighters who has expressed an interest in competing against Jake Paul in the past. Unfortunately, given Dana White’s disdain for Paul and his constant trash talk in the media, we aren’t expecting to see the president allow any UFC fighters to cross over. At least, not if they’re still under contract with the promotion.

For now, a rearranged showdown with Tommy Fury is the frontrunner idea for the former Disney Channel star.
