Paul told Sports Illustrated he's entertaining the idea of fighting as a middleweight.

Jake Paul and the PFL made significant news Thursday, agreeing to a two-part exclusive agreement in a deal that makes Paul the first to join the new Super Fight division. In a new twist, fighters will earn 50 percent of the revenue from the pay-per-views, and Paul will also be PFL’s “head of fighter advocacy.”

PFL’s Super Division will be standalone events separate from the league season. It is a unique way to grow the PFL brand, as well as attract bigger MMA stars who otherwise would not be interested in the promotion’s multiple-fight format.
