5 times Jake Paul proved that he's a good human being

#2. Jake Paul helps out broke UFC fighter

UFC Fight Night: Clark v Alpar

Jake Paul has often hit out at UFC president Dana White for not paying his athletes a fair share of the company's revenue. It has become the prominent bone of contention between the YouTuber and the UFC boss.

Sarah Alpar (9-5) is a UFC fighter who was forced to start a GoFundMe campaign to pay for training expenses ahead of her bout at UFC Fight Night on September 18, 2021. The UFC women's flyweight needed money to pay for her gym fees, air tickets, healthcare and food, among other things. However, with a $10,000 cheque from her last fight, she was short of funds.

"As I continue striving to be the best at what I do, I need your help financially to allow me to do this," Alpar wrote on her GoFundMe page. "My goal is to raise $30,000 by December 1, 2021, to train full-time. Greater success requires greater time, dedication, and resources. For this, I am calling on you to help me! My heart is in this, and you will watch my progress as finances come in, and I believe with all my heart we, the ‘Too Sweet’ Tribe, can get there."

Jake Paul, who has often spoken out against Dana White for paying minuscule revenue shares to his fighters, helped Sarah Alpar. He donated $5,000 to her campaign and then wrote on his Twitter:

"SMH… Imagine a rookie in the NBA had to start a GoFundMe to play. I let Sarah know she has my support and contribution. It’s my honor and privilege to help fellow fighters in anyway I can."

#1. Mike Tyson thanks Jake Paul for reviving the "dying sport" of boxing

Triller Presents Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr.

Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson returned to action after a long hiatus for an eight-round exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr. in November 2020. The event, which didn't enjoy a live audience due to COVID-19 restrictions, saw a whopping 1.2 million pay-per-view buys.

Considering that both Tyson and Jones Jr. are way past their primes and were fighting under modified rules that didn't allow for knockouts, the pay-per-view numbers were astonishing. According to Mike Tyson, the credit goes to Jake Paul. 'The Problem Child' was on the undercard of the event against former NBA star Nate Robinson.

Tyson said at the event's post-fight conference:

"Listen: my ego says so many things, but the reality is they (the likes of Jake Paul) help boxers so much. Boxers owe these guys, these YouTube boxers, some kind of respect. They should give them some belts because these guys make boxing alive. Boxing was completely a dying sport. The UFC was kicking our butts. And now we got the YouTube boxers? Boxers with 25 million views? Boxing is coming back ... thanks to the YouTube boxers."
