Jake Paul ulaže u UFC, želi promijeniti sport kako bi bio bolji za one koji prosipaju znoj u kavezu

Jake Paul se sve više zalaže za prava boraca u borbenim sportovima – valjda jer se sada i sam smatra borcem. Rekao je kako je spreman zamijeniti boks UFC-om ako se UFC-ov predsjednik Dana White odluči na veliki korak – poboljšanje uvjeta za sve borce, od plaće do poštenog zdravstvenog osiguranja.

Paul je odlučio otići korak dalje te je uložio vlastiti novac u dionice UFC-a.

Paul i njegov poslovni partner Geoffrey Woo ističu kako je vrijeme da prestane iskorištavanje sportaša, da se preispitaju odnosi snaga između sportaša i vlasnika. Woo je napisao na Twitteru kako su sportaši samo srce tog posla.

Jake is the archetype of the future, where individual transcends the machine. This is happening across all sectors — media, entertainment, & tech start ups where dynamic, innovative individuals & creators are bargaining toe-to-toe w the owners, the institutions, and the academy.
