Conor McGregor is still driven to face one of the Paul brothers inside a boxing ring despite claiming the UFC brass shut down his most recent attempt.
Several weeks ago, surprising reports surfaced that McGregor (22-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) was in talks to face WWE star and YouTuber Logan Paul in a boxing match in India for a potential price tag of $250 million each. More credence started to build about the possibility, but UFC CEO Dana White recently said it would not happen, and Paul emphasized his focus on his professional wrestling career.
McGregor and both Logan and his brother Jake were at Donald Trumps’ Presidential Inauguration this week, and crossed paths on a bus to the event. Both Paul brothers poked fun at McGregor for not being able to escape the promotional power of his current UFC contract, and now the former two-division UFC champion has stated that the it was indeed the company brass that swatted the idea away.
