Jake Paul spoke again about his sports career and publicly stated that TKO Group, the parent company of WWE and UFC, had allegedly prevented him from attending performances in which his brother Logan Paul participates. The comment came during an interview on Smash Cast, where he explained that the relationship between both parties has become strained due to his constant criticisms of the UFC business.

Paul pointed out that, although he takes it with humor, he finds it striking that one of the most powerful companies in combat sports supposedly does not want to allow him to attend the fights or appearances of Logan within WWE. He also suggested that the company's stance is in response to his activism in favor of better salaries for UFC fighters.

The fact that one of the largest organizations in the world, TKO Group, has this major conflict with me, they don't even let me attend my brother's WWE fights because they hate me so much.

In the same context, the influencer reiterated that the minimum salary for UFC fighters is still too low, citing figures of around $12,000 per fight. According to him, this issue is part of a campaign he has been advocating for some time to pressure the company to improve the economic conditions of its athletes.

Jake also made it clear that, on his part, he is not trying to fuel a personal war, but rather having fun with the situation. However, his words are attention-grabbing because in the past he had appeared on WWE programming, which makes his claims of a supposed veto even more noteworthy.
