Jake Paul offers Mike Perry a job after disgusted Conor McGregor sacked him from BKFC after devastating loss
MIKE PERRY was offered a job from Jake Paul after being sacked by Conor McGregor in the aftermath of his boxing loss.
Perry was granted permission by Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship – in which McGregor co-owns – to face Paul.
Before the bout, McGregor wished Perry well and labelled YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul a “little dweeb”.
But following Perry’s sixth-round loss to Paul, it resulted in a social media rant by McGregor.
And he claimed the BKFC champion was expelled from the promotion,
But Paul, 27, said on his podcast: “Mike Perry, as you got fired by Conor McGregor from BKFC, we will hire you at Betr into a partnership and give you some sort of role.
“We’ll figure out what that’s going to be. Betr has a job for you, Mike Perry. We’re just giving him another stream of income. He can keep fighting.
“We can maybe start a podcast with him or something… we’ll figure it out.”
Paul’s betting company Betr sponsors UFC middleweight Bo Nickal while launching men’s health care line W with bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley.
The American moved to 10-1 and now heads on to his controversial clash against Mike Tyson, 58, on November 15 in Texas.
Perry, 32, is now left to ponder a move back into BKFC after speaking out following McGregor’s blast.
He said: “He doesn’t have a promotion because me and him are both owners of BKFC, so he can’t fire me.
“We can fight in bare-knuckle, look at me I lost to Jake Paul so why don’t you go and fight Jake Paul.
“You can box him with the gloves on, I think it would be worse than Conor McGregor vs [Floyd] Mayweather.”
