Jake Paul claims Conor McGregor fight is bigger than Floyd Mayweather rematch Instagram: Jake Paul\/Conor McGregorJake Paul believes that a fight between himself and Conor McGregor would be bigger than a potential rematch between the Irish MMA star and Floyd \u2018Money\u2019 Mayweather. Ever since he first stepped into the world of boxing, Jake Paul has been trying to get UFC superstar Conor McGregor to ditch the Octagon and get back into the boxing ring. The Irish MMA star, who hasn\u2019t fought inside the cage since July 2021, made waves back in 2017 when he took on Floyd \u2018Money\u2019 Mayweather in \u2018The Biggest Fight in Combat Sports\u2019 in his first ever professional boxing match. Mayweather ultimately defeated McGregor, taking his boxing record to a perfect 50-0, with the pair reportedly making a few hundred million each for the bout. There has been plenty of talk about them running it back \u2013 especially as Mayweather is fighting Japanese MMA star Mikuru Asakura in September. Though, Jake also wants to get in on the action too. Jake Paul still wants Conor McGregor fight The YouTuber-turned-boxer is scheduled to face Hasim Rahman Jr. on August 6, but has already made plenty of noise about who he wants to face afterwards \u2013 which includes a possible meeting with Mike Tyson. Though when he appeared on The DAZN Boxing Show, Jake suggested that fighting Conor could still be on the cards.\u201dMe vs Conor McGregor is a way bigger fight [than Floyd Mayweather rematch]. We\u2019ve already seen that fight,\u201d Jake told the show\u2019s hosts. \u201cMe vs Conor\u2019s going to be way more competitive, way more s**t talk, way more entertaining. That\u2019s the one everyone really wants.\u201d Given that Jake and Conor have gone back and forth with the trash talking for a few years, there\u2019s definitely some interest in the fight, but it would take Conor getting out of his UFC contract to make it happen. Whether or not that will ever happen given Jake\u2019s ongoing feud with the MMA promotion and its president Dana White, remains to be seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
