UFC fighter Jorge Masvidal is playing hardball with Jake Paul on a potential fight.
On Tuesday, Paul revealed that he had offered Masvidal $5 million guaranteed and a cut of PPV sales for a boxing match.
Jake Paul has publicly offered Jorge Masvidal $5million plus a percentage of PPV sales to fight him next: "Let's make it happen. That's the most you'll ever have gotten paid. Daddy Dana just has to let you out of your contract. You work for the UFC, you're a bitch." [IMPAULSIVE]

Masvidal’s manager Malki Kawa immediately shot down the offer for being too low.
Lol 5mill won’t start the convo. https://t.co/a5k8EDISbt

Masvidal himself countered Paul’s offer and wants $20 million guaranteed plus a cut of the PPV sales to make his UFC bosses happy.
1. The ufc isn’t gonna let me go for chump change.
2. Make that 20 guaranteed plus Ppv and I’m sure the ufc will be ok with it as long as I break them off their fee and then I’ll gladly break your face. https://t.co/2rcWvGyBl3— Jorge Masvidal (@GamebredFighter) December 21, 2021
If the ufc still says no because the money is still too low then come over to the ufc, sign a 1 fight deal and we can stipulate I can only box in the cage. If i do anything other than that I will forfeit my purse to you. Come on over and get paid and laid out.

Despite Masvidal’s counter offer, it’s extremely unlikely that Dana White and the UFC will allow him to fight Paul, who has been a vocal critic of the UFC president.
