Jake Paul denies any involvement with his brother Logan Paul's Prime brand and hopes the UFC will share the revenue generated by the deal with the fighters.
Logan Paul and KSI, two well-known YouTubers and business partners, have recently signed a multi-year sponsorship agreement with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). Under this partnership, Prime, a hydration drink brand, will become the UFC's official sports drink. However, Jake Paul, Logan Paul's younger brother, has publicly announced that he is not associated with Prime.
'The Problem Child' has expressed hope that the UFC will share a portion of the revenue generated from its recent sponsorship deal with Prime with its fighters. He believes that the fighters deserve a share of the profits, given their crucial role in the sport and their contributions to its growth and success.
Paul recently responded to an MMA journalist on the subject and wrote:

The American YouTuber turned professional boxer has long been critical of the UFC's fighter pay system.
The Ultimate Boxing Showdown: Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury
Jake Paul is all set for a showdown with Tommy Fury in the boxing ring.
Jake Paul versus Tommy Fury, an event named as 'The Truth', is an impending professional boxing bout between Paul and Fury. The fight is set to take place on February 26, 2023 at the Diriyah Arena in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia.
The fight between Paul and Fury was originally slated for December 19, 2021, however, it was canceled due to Fury's fractured rib and bacterial chest infection. They attempted again in 2022 for an Aug. 6 bout, but Fury claimed his travel visa into the United States was rejected, therefore the showdown was scrapped once more. In October, Paul won a unanimous decision over MMA veteran Anderson Silva, increasing his career record to 6-0.
During their forthcoming boxing match in London, Paul and Fury got into an incident. It was supposed to be a conventional face-off between the two competitors, but things rapidly heated up once both entered the ring.
