'He hasn't won a fight in three years' - Dana White doesn't understand how Tyron Woodley and Jake Paul are going to sell their fight

Dana White isn't sure how Tyron Woodley and Jake Paul are going to sell their upcoming boxing showdown.

Considering the former UFC star's recent fighting record and Paul's image as a boxer, White suspects the Showtime network will have to rely on crooked marketing strategies to sell the fight.

At the UFC 263 post-fight press conference, White was asked to comment on Paul's boxing fights allegedly outselling UFC events. The 51-year-old responded-

"Tyron Woodley is 40 years old. He hasn't won a fight in three years...in something he's actually supposed to be good at, now he's gonna go box. How do you sell that fight?"

White proceeded to insinuate that one way Woodley and Paul can hype up their fight is by forging dubious statistics.

According to the UFC president, the idea that Woodley is earning his biggest payday opposite Paul is just a marketing technique to sell his fight.

"(The fight can be sold by doing) Lot's of other things other than the s**t that should matter. Making a million dollar, and this is the biggest payday ever, Jake Paul will say a million things about me: 'pay your fighters'," said White.
