The Paul brothers' pivot to boxing of all things is such a bizarre (and bizarrely successful) lateral career shift

I haven't followed much of any of this.

In short, is there really any incentive for Dana to care about Jake's proposal?

The right thing would be for Dana White to fuck off with his anti vax piece of shit ass

Not sure if this has any chance of working, nut if it does good for him. He may have had this plan all along.

You see Jake Paul as a chess player? Dude's pure emotion and adrenaline.

Not really, but if this was an anime that would have been his plan.

I mean he's right about the things he's saying but it definitely wasn't part of his plan. It's just shit talking to Dana White

If you protest, it's because you feel your voice isn't being heard. If you riot, it's because you feel your voice is being ignored.

They think they are the strongest and more of a man than others so a dumb little virus that kills 1 in 1000 wont be them. They can fight everything, including, COVID off.

On topic, there is no reason for Dana to care about this. Its Jake saying something to bring attention to an issue but the offer is so crazy that it means nothing.

Dana said Jake Paul is on roids...Jake ignored the accusations with this...
of course Dana wont agree.. 12k minimum up to 50k minimum or half the revenue for EVERY fighter? PLUS improved healthcare? wheres that money coming from? theres a shit ton of other people that need to be paid besides the fighters

Dana doing the right think would be stepping down from UFC and retiring to his private island never to return or interact with anyone ever again.

Based.

Too bad it'll never happen, so it's easy to make statements like that knowing full-well UFC will never cave.

So he'll retire from fighting dudes twice his age and half a foot shorter than him who don't otherwise professionally box? Ok.

I would respect him if he starts taking legit fights against real boxers. Hes only 24 so he could dedicate himself.

Is it? Threats and ultimatums that really hold no water and hardly affects one's self doesn't seem all that cool to me. Seems more like an aim to score brownie points with one's base than to actually accomplish anything.

Specific types of people eat that shit right up. "Oh bless XYZs heart. They care or talking about a heart warming issue!"

I can't think of a solid great reason Dana needs to care about Jake's proposal.
With Jake, his retirement isn't a blow for himself. It's not like he had a shining boxing career that would hurt his bottom line.

That's not to say the virtue signaling proposal isn't a real problem, but his proposal is hardly one of sacrifice.

Now hes supposedly trying to fight someone 20 lbs lighter

Masvidals a good fighter but Jake knows it wont happen. hes just trying to make himself look good with an offer everybody knows Dana White will/can never take. And dodge the steroid accusations at the same time
and some of GameFAQs is falling for it lol
