In an interview with Pat McAfee on his show, the UFC president expressed his frustration with the fighter pay allegations and asked the haters on the internet to “go f***” themselves. He also claimed that fighter pay has indeed gone up:
“First of all, no promoter in the history of the world has done what we have done. And when you talk about fighter pay, we’re the only promoter in the history of the world ever, that pays people more than what they are actually contracted to make.

As to why full fighter pay details are not disclosed to the media, White said that he doesn’t share that information with the press because he “can’t stand them” and “doesn’t trust them.”
