“Dana you claimed you would bet $1M on me losing. Set up Askren to train with Freddie Roachโฆgave him full access to UFCPIโฆand he still got his ass handed to him. Seems like you are the real doucheโฆnot Ariel,” The YouTuber wrote. “In my 3rd fight I made more in total pay than any fighter in UFC history. Maybe it’s time to pay your fighters their fair share? No wonder they all want to get into boxing. Dana you say you make the fights fans want to seeโฆso hurry up and make Jones vs N’gannou. Pay them their fair shareโฆ$10M purse for each guy, plus PPV. Why are UFC fighters so underpaid vs Boxers? Why did I make more in my 3rd fight than all but two (Khabib & Conor) UFC fighters have in history? I know whyโฆ”
In some previous comments to the media after UFC 261, White said, “I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: This kid’s done a good job of putting himself in a place to make some money, man. So, good for him. He’s got you guys talking about him all the time and asking questions about him. He’s got Daniel Cormier running after him, so he’s doing something right. He knocked out an NBA guy that was 40 years old and 30 pounds less than him. I don’t even know what to think about the Askren thing. The whole thing is f****** mind-boggling to me, but good for him. Grab that money while you can, kid.”
“Do you know what would happen to this guy โ he ain’t fighting in the UFC,” the head man continued. “You’re getting me f****** talking about this guy again. He’s getting handpicked opponents, and god knows what else is going on with that whole f****** thing. There is a market for that. That’s not what I do. People want to see that, and it’s great, and this kid’s going to make a couple bucks before this ride is over. It’s just not what I do. What I do is what happened tonight. What happened tonight is we sold this place out and it was packed, and the numbers that you’re hearing that they did are full of sh*t. They’re full of sh*t. They didn’t pull those kind of numbers. At all. Not even f****** close. Tonight, what happened here tonight is what I do. The best versus the best.”
