Jake Paul Ups The Ante For Conor McGregor Boxing Match
KEY POINTS
- Jake Paul is pushing for a Conor McGregor fight with a tempting $50 million offer
- Dana White may consider the offer but pits Amanda Nunes instead
- McGregor has yet to respond to Paul's social media attack
Jake Paul has been busy on social media as of late, prowling for a next opponent.
UFC icon Conor McGregor looms as a sensible fight and the 23-year-old just upped the stakes, claiming he dangled a $50 million offer to the Irishman.
"My team sent you a $50 million dollar offer this morning -- 50 million dollars cash, proof of funds, the biggest fight offer you've ever been offered," Paul said in a report from TMZ. "But, you're scared to fight me, Conor!! You're ducking me because you don't wanna lose to a f**king YouTuber. You're 0-1 as a boxer. I'm 2-0 as a boxer."
Most are having a hard time believing it. But it appears Paul was able to get some backing for the event who would guarantee the massive paycheck.
Paul is understandably at a high right now coming off a vicious win over former NBA player Nate Robinson. The 23-year-old knocked the former Slam Dunk champion in the second round, but critics felt it as a big mismatch as the 36-year-old cager has no notable boxing experience.
Against McGregor, Paul could be in for a different match. Though he is best known for his skills in the cage, “The Notorious” already tried putting on the gloves against a certified boxing champion in Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2017.
Also, Paul saw that reaction from Dana White saying that a fight with Paul is not happening. In a previous post, the UFC president stressed that McGregor is one of the greatest fighters in the world now and should not be facing personalities who have no business with combat sports.
Paul came up with a profanity-laced reply to White’s comments.
"Dana White, you're a f**king p***y, too, you ugly f**king bald bitch! You said there's 0% chance this fight happening, but there's 0% chance of you getting some f**king p***y," the internet sensation stated.
White responded to the recent rants of Paul and mentioned that he may consider handing the YouTuber an opponent. That UFC luminary turned out to be Amanda Nunes, someone that head honcho feels would knock him out.
