Meanwhile, Masvidal has been granted permission from the UFC to pursue boxing before returning to the octagon after.
He takes to the ring for the first time on June 1 against Nate Diaz, 39, beaten over ten boxing rounds by Paul last year.
The pair put aside their feud to mutually chant “f*** Jake Paul” alongside a raucous Las Vegas crowd.
And Paul replied online: “Two of the biggest names in MMA can’t keep my name out their mouth at their press conference that nobody watched.
“Nate already got his ass beat by me & Jorge is literally permitted by UFC to box anyone but me because Dana knows I will put his little ass to sleep.
“Already told both of these bozos to come see me in PFL bc in boxing they got no shot. $10M for either of them.”
Paul, 27, returns on July 20 in Texas against boxing icon Mike Tyson, 57, in a controversial clash scrutinised over the 30-year age gap.
And Masvidal, 39, did not hold back in response to the YouTuber-turned-boxer’s proposed MMA deal.

He said on the MMA Hour: “Jake runs up on me somewhere else where it’s not a ring or something you can find out bro.
“You’re talking about the PFL, the f*** are you going to do in MMA? Are you kidding me? You can’t even box.
“Now you’re going to fight in MMA? I would kick your f***ing kneecap off your fragile body.
“You dumb motherf***er, don’t bring up MMA ever you disrespectful piece of s***.”
