Jake Paul has offered Mike Perry a business partnership that features a latest job outside of fighting after their boxing fight.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer stopped Perry in six rounds on Saturday night, much to the annoyance of Conor McGregor. After watching the bout and initially supporting Perry, the Irishman claimed that he was ‘firing’ him from BKFC, where he’s certainly one of the important thing names.
And while it’s unclear if McGregor actually has the facility to terminate someone like that, it appears the fighter could have another choice regardless. He and Paul have teased a future MMA fight, and so they could meet again outside of the ring.
Conor McGregor claims Mike Perry is ‘fired’ from BKFC
After watching Jake Paul knock out Mike Perry on Saturday night, McGregor immediately took to social media to make his feelings concerning the fight clear. After initially backing the bare knuckle boxer, he was enraged by his performance.
He immediately declared that Perry wouldn’t be welcome back into the BKFC ring, telling him in a single indignant post: “Hey Mike you’re released and you’ll be able to go and compete in your smelly dirty boxing championship thing, the smell of it, good luck. You’re fired.”
McGregor was referring to the brand new ‘Dirty Boxing Championship’ that Perry launched hours before his fight on Saturday. After ceremonial weigh-ins on Friday night, he held his own separate press conference where he announced a brand new fight league.
The Dirty Boxing Championship will feature bouts where fighters wear smaller gloves, and might fight within the clinch and even on the bottom. Perry has claimed that he’ll give you the chance to fight on the promotion, despite being signed to BKFC.
Mike Perry disputed Conor McGregor’s claim that he’s fired from BKFC
After the tweet storm, Perry defended himself from McGregor’s jibes by saying that he also owns a component of the bare knuckle promotion, and that he isn’t ready to be fired. He was also defended after the actual fact by Paul himself, who told McGregor to get back to the gym after pulling out of his UFC comeback.
Asked about McGregor’s claims on the post-fight press conference, Perry replied after the undeniable fact that McGregor should try his luck against Paul in a boxing match, and added: “Whatever. He doesn’t f***ing have a promotion because me and him are each owners of the BKFC, so you’ll be able to’t fire me.”
The Irishman later disputed this, in a deleted tweet he told Perry that he actually owned a minuscule portion of BKFC’s parent company Triller. “Michael you are usually not any owner in BKFC,” he wrote before quickly taking his post down.
“Not an iota. You have got the tiniest minute dot of a share in thriller [Triller]. The social media video app. Which is promising in fairness. However it’s a speckle you will have. You hold nothing in bare knuckle. Not an iota. And trust me, you’re out bro. With no feelings.
“Do your thing in your dirty pants championships and who knows down the road. But you won’t be straight back in my ring that’s out straight. I wish you well within the 6oz MMA sparring gloves and what that thing was. God bless.”
Jake Paul offers Mike Perry a job together with his company
After hearing what McGregor said within the aftermath of the fight, which also included a lot of foul-mouthed jibes at him, Jake Paul took aim at the previous two-weight world champion. He insisted that McGregor give attention to his own return, before making Perry a giant offer.
“Mike Perry, as you bought fired by Conor McGregor from BKFC, we’ll hire you at Betr right into a partnership and provide you with some kind of role,” Paul said during a post-fight episode of his podcast BS with Jake Paul. “We’ll work out what that’s going to be. Betr has a job for you, Mike Perry.”
Jake’s brother Logan Paul noted that perhaps it was a rather disrespectful move to do right after stopping a proud fighter like Perry. However the YouTuber-turned-boxer insisted that he was simply offering a brand new revenue stream to a fighter who has given rather a lot to combat sport.
“We’re just giving him one other stream of income,” he replied with a cheeky grin and inflection. “He can keep fighting. We will perhaps start a podcast with him or something; we’ll figure it out.”
