Conor McGregor slams \u201cflop\u201d Jake Paul over latest fight challenge Instagram: thenotoriousmma \/ YouTube: Jake PaulMMA legend Conor McGregor has clapped back at YouTube boxer Jake Paul after the \u2018Problem Child\u2019 claimed a fight between them has \u201cgot to happen.\u201d \u2018The Notorious\u2019 isn\u2019t having any of Jake Paul\u2019s challenges this time around. Jake Paul, a YouTube boxer with a 5-0 record, is set to face off against heavyweight pro Hasim Rahman Jr in August\u2026 but that\u2019s not stopping him from calling out some of the biggest names in the combat sports game in the interim. In an interview with the MMA Hour on July 11, Paul expressed that, although he thinks both of them might need a little time before ever facing off, he feels that it\u2019s just the right money move to make. \u201cFor me, fighting a couple more times, continuing to knock some people out. He has to get active again, who knows when that\u2019s gonna happen. I think those two things need to happen. Then, at some point, it\u2019s gotta happen.\u201d \u201cHe\u2019s a businessman, I\u2019m a businessman. That\u2019s $75 to $100 million dollars for both of us.\u201d McGregor, however, seems to feel differently about the situation. The former UFC champ laughed off Jake\u2019s challenge in a series of tweets, notably calling the YouTuber \u201ca flop.\u201d \u201cYou\u2019ve [had] two fights and done 70k buys,\u201d he wrote. \u201cYou are a flop, kid. A nobody.\u201d While Jake has yet to respond to McGregor\u2019s tweets, this is far from the first time he\u2019s pushed for a fight with the Irish UFC star. Paul has been fiending for a match with McGregor for some time, to no avail, although his coach did offer him a training session in Ireland. For now, it\u2019s unclear if this bout will ever happen\u2026 but there\u2019s no telling who Paul\u2019s next opponent will be after fight night on August 6.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
