JAKE PAUL OFFERS MIKE PERRY A JOB AFTER KNOCKING HIM OUT FOLLOWING CONOR MCGREGOR COMMENTS

Paul stopped Perry in Tampa, Florida in the sixth round on July 20

Jake Paul looks to support Mike Perry after his devastating victory over the UFC fighter by offering him a job a few days after knocking him out at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida on July 20.

Paul impressed in the one-way fight but attracted criticism for the caliber of opponent he continues to select as he markets himself as a professional boxer with 11 fights on his record and one loss.

And one of those voices is Conor McGregor, who appeared to waste no time in firing the 32-year-old Perry from the BKFC (Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship) shortly after becoming co-owner, despite Perry being one of the most prominent names.

However, in a display of compassion for his fellow fighter and defiance in the face of McGregor, Paul offered Perry a job within his own sports-media and mobile-betting company that he founded in 2022.

"It was hard to talk s**t to him the whole-entire week because I thought he was hilarious", Paul said on his podcast with Logan Paul. "Everyone in the comments was saying 'I think Jake and Mike are going to be lifelong friends.'

"But we have a proposition, actually. We will hire you into Betr as a partnership and give you some sort of role."

Perry hits back at McGregor

If McGregor did sack Perry for his association with Paul, then Perry isn't letting it get to him as he immediately launched the Dirty Boxing Championship which aims to create a hybrid brand of fighting between boxing and MMA.

"He doesn't f**king have a promotion," Perry said of McGregor before the fight against Paul. "Me and him are both owners of BKFC, so he can't fire me."

However, McGregor did seem to pull rank and insisted that Perry doesn't own any part of the BKFC nor is his influence as great as he thought as the Irishman insisted he is done.

"Michael, you are not any owner in BKFC. Not an iota," McGregor posted to X.com, formerly Twitter, in a deleted post. "You have the tiniest minute dot of a share in [Triller].

"The social media video app. Which is promising, in fairness. But it's a speckle you have. You hold nothing in [BKFC]. Not an iota. And trust me, you are out, bro."
