Jake Paul donates to Sarah Alpar's GoFundMe for UFC training expenses
Boxer and YouTube star Jake Paul showed his support to UFC women's flyweight fighter Sarah "Too Sweet" Alpar on Wedneday by donating to her GoFundMe fundraiser.
Alpar launched the fundraiser, titled "Help Sarah 'Too Sweet' Become a UFC Champ," in an effort to train full time. Her goal is to raise $30,000 by Dec. 1, which will help cover her training and living expenses, food, supplements, gym fees, travel, and more.
Paul, who has criticized UFC president Dana White over fighter pay, donated $5,000 to the fundraiser and included the message, "Keep training hard Sarah, sending you positive energy for your camp!!!"
SMH… Imagine a rookie in the NBA had to start a GoFundMe to play..
