After defeating the Knockout Monument Evander Holyfield over the weekend, former UFC Vitor Belfort provoked many opponents, but it seemed the most serious name that Belfort wanted to be with Thuong Dai will be Jake Paul. Belfort offers $ 25 million for the encounter, and the Triller organizer even pushed it to $ 30 million, the winner ate socks, the loser lost.
Currently, Jake Paul is quite “free”, there is no appointment at all. A $ 30 million match sounds extremely attractive – Must know Paul's recent match with Tyron Woodley, including all the frequency from the contract to the amount of money collected from the live views, also only brought about 16 million USD for the YouTuber guy.
“I was quite surprised because of my name,” Jake Paul said in a conversation on MMA Hour. “Just be honest with each other, we used to work with Triller, and I'm sure they don't spend $ 30 million.”
“Now, I still think it is just a trick to attract attention – now we will have to talk about Triller, about Vitor (Belfort), right? If so, everything is very normal, the antagonistic industry still attracts the audience like that.”
“But as far as we know, Triller's financial situation is not so optimistic. So what they say is rather odd. If Triller proves that they can spend $ 30 million, it is another story. But I have to repeat that we have collaborated with them, know them. Triller doesn't have $ 30 million.”
So in case Triller really wants to play big? Jake Paul said he was not afraid of Thuong Dai.
“Vitor Belfort is not a famous name, even even inferior to Tyron (Woodley). I am looking forward to a more prestigious, more difficult opponent.”
“I think Vitor will be much easier to deal with Tyron. Vitor is older, I have to use steroids and these drugs to fight. So if I play with Vitor, it's just because I love money.
