Jake Paul’s 11-1 record is something of… well, something. Beating YouTubers, washed-up MMA fighters, and Mike Tyson might gain fans, but in Jake’s mind, it’s apparently enough to challenge one of boxing’s GOATs – Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez. Ambition or illusion? Dana White doesn’t hold back with her thoughts.
Talking to Shannon Sharpethe UFC boss praised Canelo’s dominance, casually reminding everyone why he’s on top: “Canelo is still the man. He jumps in there and does it, he goes to work, and it’s hard to stay at that level for a very long time. What is this guy clipping 40 million dollars?
As for Jake Paul stepping up to face him? White didn’t sugarcoat it: “It would be a 30-second payday for Canelo. I don’t know why Canelo wouldn’t do it … Canelo can fight real guys, keep his credibility intact, and still make that kind of money “.
Translation: Jake Paul might want to stay in his YouTube lane. Of course, calling Canelo makes noise, but let’s face it – it’s more likely to star in a TikTok dance than to survive 30 seconds with the Mexican star.
Dana insists he has no ill will toward Paul, but his brutally honest remarks make one thing clear: Jake Paul dreaming of Canelo is like a child dreaming of flying. Fun to imagine, but it won’t happen without a serious crash.
