Jake Paul’s 11-1 record is something of… well, something. Beating YouTubers, washed-up MMA fighters and Mike Tyson might earn him fans, but in Jake’s mind, it’s apparently enough to challenge one of boxing’s GOATS—Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez. Ambition or delusion? Dana White didn’t hold back with his thoughts.
Talk to Shannon Sharpepraised UFC boss Canelo’s dominance and casually reminded everyone why he’s on top: “Canelo is still the man. He jumps in there and he does it, he goes to work, and it’s hard to stay at that level for very long. What is this man snapping? $40 million a fight?”
As for Jake Paul facing him? White didn’t sugarcoat it: “It would be 30 seconds of payday for Canelo. I don’t know why Canelo wouldn’t… Canelo can fight real guys, keep his credibility intact and still make that kind of money.”
Translation: Jake Paul might want to stay in his YouTube lane. Sure, calling out Canelo makes noise, but let’s face it — he’s more likely to star in a TikTok dance than survive 30 seconds with the Mexican star.
Dana insists he bears no ill will toward Paul, but his brutally honest comments make one thing clear: Jake Paul dreaming of Canelo is like a kid dreaming of flying. Fun to imagine, but it doesn’t happen without a serious accident.
