"You should be thanking me, son" - Jake Paul claims Tyron Woodley is being paid "four times more" than his highest UFC payout
Jake Paul has claimed that former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley will receive the highest payday of his fighting career in their upcoming bout on August 29.
In a press conference prior to their fight, Paul and Woodley went back-and-forth trading insults at each other.
'The Chosen One' put things in motion when he said that the 24-year-old will get knocked out this weekend.
"You can come out with that dumba** robot, you can do whatever you want, you will get f*****g knocked out. You can make as many bets, the only thing I bet on is myself...I'm just ready to fight," said Tyron Woodley.
When asked about his tattoo bet with Paul, Woodley said:
"There was never a bet. It was just him saying, 'I worship Tyron. He's a legend. I played him on the video game in career mode and I wanted to get his name tatooed on me.' That's all I heard, I didn't hear a bet because there's no way you f*****g beat me on Sunday."
In response, Jake Paul said that the 39-year-old should thank him for getting him almost four times more money than his highest payout from the UFC.
"I've paid you four times more than you've ever been paid. You should be thanking me, son. Kiss the ring, son."
