“I’ll instantly retire from boxing and combat Jorge Masvidal within the UFC in the event you comply with:
“1) Enhance [minimum] fighter pay per combat to $50k (it’s $12k now).
“2) Assure UFC fighters 50% of UFC annual revenues ($1bn in 2021).
“3) Present long run healthcare to all fighters (you beforehand mentioned mind injury is a part of the gig… think about the NFL mentioned that). There are a lot of UFC alums who’ve publicly mentioned they’re affected by mind injury.
“You will have 5 days to just accept and to implement the above by March 31, 2022. As soon as applied I’ll instantly retire from boxing, enter USADA [United States Anti-Doping Agency] and comply with a 1 combat cope with UFC to combat weak chin Jorge.
“To all UFC fighters – time to take a stand and create worth for yourselves and friends. You deserve larger pay, you deserve long run healthcare and above all you deserve freedom.
“Help one another. I’m not your enemy, I’m your advocate… who selfishly needs to KO a number of of you to make some huge financial institution.”
After Paul’s most up-to-date victory over Woodley, Masvidal turned down the YouTuber’s proposal of a boxing match between the pair, as an alternative inviting his fellow American to hitch him within the Octagon.
