Will Prime becoming the official sports drink of the UFC end Dana White's feud with Jake Paul, Andrew Schulz weighs-in
Will big brother Logan Paul's sports drink brand Prime, becoming the official sports drink of the UFC, finally put an end to the feud between Jake Paul and Dana White? Comedian Andrew Schulz feels that it won't.
In a recent episode of his FLAGRANT podcast, the stand-up comic opined that the sports drink deal was not going to change the situation between the UFC President and Logan Paul's younger sibling Jake.
Schulz pointed out that 'Problem Child' even hates Logan's business partner KSI. However, the comedian feels that all of them are entertainers and are proficient at exploiting business opportunities, despite how they feel about each other:
"No [Paul and White's feud won't end], because Jake don't even like KSI. Why is he going to start liking Dana... I think all of them are in entertainment and understand how entertainment works and despite the fact that they absolutely hate each other, they know that on a certain level, it's good for business."

Jake Paul and Dana White have been on each other's bad sides for a long time. 'The Problem Child' has always been highly critical of UFC fighter pay, which he thinks is abysmal.
The 26-year-old recently signed with MMA promotion, Professional Fighters League (PFL), where he is set to compete in the newly minted 'Super Fight' division, which would share 50% of the pay-per-view proceeds with the fighters.
Jake Paul responds to Prime x UFC deal
Since Jake Paul has always been highly critical of the UFC's low fighter compensation, fans were curious to know the 26-year-old's take on his brother's new sports drink deal with the American promotion.
Shortly after the Prime deal was announced, Twitter user @antontabuena asked 'The Problem Child' whether the deal would enhance fighter pay:
"Hey @jakepaul, you’ve repeatedly talked about how much you care about low UFC revenue share, right? So how much will UFC fighters get from your brother’s deal?"
Although Paul is happy for his brother, he clarified that he played no part in minting the deal. The social media celebrity added that he hopes the promotion shares the revenue it receives from the deal with the fighters:
"Hey, Anton…I’m always happy for my brother’s successes and while I have zero involvement in his drink, I hope UFC will share the revenue it receives with fighters."
