Jake Paul tells Conor McGregor to “put down the bottle” and accept $200million fight

Jake Paul has implored Conor McGregor to finally put pen to paper on a deal for a massive money fight between the pair, telling him to "put down the bottle".

The Irishman had generally remained quiet about Paul's efforts to secure a boxing match with him over the past few years, but has begun to engage more in recent months. He blasted both Jake and his brother Logan as "dingbats" before his trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier, but speaking with Mirror Fighting in February declared that he would "never say never" to fighting the YouTuber.

And the feud heated up last night with the former two-weight UFC world champion taking to social media to offer his thoughts on Jake's interview with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour. In the explosive chat, Paul told of how he feels McGregor needs activity in order to 'earn' a fight with him, which angered the Irishman.
