Jake
\nPaul<\/a> claims Dana White was rooting against him early in his
\nboxing career. <\/p>\n

Paul suffered his second professional loss against Anthony
\nJoshua<\/a> via sixth-round knockout this past December. Paul\u2019s
\nmatchup against the former boxing world heavyweight champion was
\nconsidered one of the biggest mismatches of recent times. <\/p>\n

White was surprised that the fight even came to fruition. The
\n
\nUFC<\/a> head honcho said that anyone involved with the bout should
\nbe embarrassed. Responding to White, Paul recently recalled that
\nthe UFC didn\u2019t have any weight classes in its early days, which
\nallowed bizarre matchups like Keith Hackney<\/a>
\nvs. Emmanuel
\nYarborough<\/a>. Paul also claims that White actively rooted against
\nhim early in his career. While Paul started his boxing career
\nagainst fellow influencers, he first made headlines in the world of
\ncombat sports by knocking out UFC veteran Ben Askren<\/a> in
\nthe first round of their bout in 2021. Paul claims White was
\nfunding Askren\u2019s training to help him win. \u201cThe Problem Child\u201d even
\naccuses White of placing a million-dollar bet on Askren to beat
\nhim. However, White allegedly did not pay up after Paul knocked out
\nAskren.<\/p>\n

Where\u2019s My Money?<\/h2>\n

\u201cThe UFC started with no weight classes,\u201d Paul told Complex<\/a>. \u201cSo, should he fire himself?… This
\nis the guy who is trying to pay millions of dollars \u2013 he was paying
\nBen
\nAskren<\/a> in training camp, getting him coaches. And tried to
\nplace some million dollar bet that Ben Askren<\/a>
\nwould beat me. And then he no-showed after I knocked him out in the
\nfirst round. So, Dana, where is my money?\u201d
