McGregor Threatens To Slap The Paul Brothers & KSI

Video footage has emerged of Conor McGregor squaring up to Jake Paul and Logan Paul, saying he would slap them alongside KSI.
There has been mass speculation that McGregor could fight either one of them after reports he was linked with an exhibition in India for a boxing fight against Logan. It is alleged that each fighter would earn a staggering $250 million dollars. Jake was also mentioned as a possible opponent. He is much bigger than Logan in boxing.
He is coming off a win against Mike Tyson, which broke several records. It became the most-watched live boxing fight online. It also earned Jake $40 million. Jake has previously offered McGregor $50 million for the fight. But the numbers will now be much bigger. KSI also suggested a fight in case a bout with the Paul brothers did not happen. KSI’s last boxing fight was a loss to Tommy Fury in 2023.
McGregor is desperate to enter into a combat sports fight, having not had a bout since 2021. Dustin Poirier stopped him at UFC 264 as he suffered the third defeat out of his last four fights. He also picked up a broken leg, which has kept him out of the sport. He was meant to fight Michael Chandler at UFC 303 on June 29. But The Notorious pulled out after suffering a broken toe. There was talk that he could face Dan Hooker on February 1. But McGregor was found liable in a civil sexual assault lawsuit which was filed by Nikita Hand.

The authorities ordered him to pay her damages and her legal fees. McGregor is also facing another lawsuit on similar grounds after an alleged incident following an NBA Finals game in 2023. That has left McGregor desperate to enter into a fight after several brands cut ties with him. The Hitman video game franchise is not going to be working with McGregor, whilst the Proper No. 12 Irish Whiskey Brand will not use him in their marketing. McGregor was pictured alongside the Paul brothers as they were on their way to Donald Trump’s Inauguration party. The following footage shows McGregor firing verbal shots at the Paul brothers.
“Listen, here’s the deal: I’m going to slap the head off the two of you and KSI. All three of you. You are nixers to me, you understand that? Side jobs. A little side job,” McGregor said
“You can’t even do your main job, how are you going to do a side job?,” Logan
That has increased the narrative that fans could finally see the fight. But there are still a few hurdles to overcome. The UFC would have to consent to such a thing. McGregor has two fights left on his UFC deal. His only boxing fight came against Floyd Mayweather in 2017. The fight earned McGregor a reported $100 million, and it became one of the biggest-selling PPVs of all time. White helped put on that PPV and he would have to be involved in a similar deal. Logan would also potentially have to negotiate with WWE, as his focus is on fighting there full-time. However, given the reaction from fans online, there is a demand to see this.
