Masvidal should fight out of his contract asap or buy his contract out. He's never made 1 mil in all of his ufc fights combined. He'll be rich and he'll get a chance to KO Jake.
Masvidal banked a few million each in his fights vs Nate Diaz and Kamaru Usman.
He has PPV points in his contract and headlined those events which sold over a million PPV buys each. His disclosed purse is not his total income and when the ppv numbers are high the PPV points earning vastly outweighs the disclosed purse.
(It pays on a sliding scale where the higher the buy number the more the fighter gets per buy, so the 800+ and 1mil+ buys pay out really big to the fighter)
That said, he would make more fighting Jake Paul than any single fight in his UFC/MMA career.
Dana and the UFC wouldn't let him out of his contract, which he knows, which makes all of this kind of pointless.
If he has 1 fight left and could get out of his contract after them he should fight his contract out and take the offer (or negotiate it up a smidge then take it)
If he has multiple fights left (which he likely does as he recently got a new contract with pay increase) then he has no way to get out of the contract. And Jake ain't coming to the UFC as Masvidal suggested because Jake can generate millions all by himself and doesn't need the UFC or their one sided contract terms.
