The jury remains out on Jake Paul as a fighter, both as a boxer and now as a mixed martial artist, since he signed on Thursday with the Professional Fighter's League and will compete in MMA. The New York Times first reported Paul's signing with the PFL.
In a statement released by the PFL, Paul said he would make an effort to recruit fighters to help them improve their earnings.
Paul's effectiveness at this role would seem to ride on his effectiveness as a fighter. The UFC has had many competitors over the years who had outstanding talent and grandiose visions of overtaking it and becoming a major player in MMA, but it largely hasn't panned out.He'll garner the most attention when he fights, and that's when his message will have the most impact.
