Jake Paul confirms fight talks with Conor McGregor and says it \u201cwill happen\u201d Instagram: Jake Paul\/Conor McGregorInternet sensation Jake Paul says he is in talks with Conor McGregor\u2019s team over a fight saying he\u2019s the \u201cmoney fight\u201d for the UFC legend. When Jake Paul and his brother Logan first stepped into boxing, they were settling scores with other YouTubers. Though, they\u2019ve gone beyond that in the last few months, fighting actual athletes and fighters. While Logan has gone the distance with Floyd \u2018Money\u2019 Mayweather, Jake\u2019s big fish is the notorious one \u2013 Conor McGregor. The YouTuber has called out the Irish UFC star on numerous occasions, even commissioning a \u2018sleepy McGregor\u2019 chain that mocks his first loss to Dustin Poirier. While a fight has always seemed like a pipe dream, it could actually happen. During an appearance on Fox Sports\u2019 The Herd with Colin Cowherd, Jake revealed that he\u2019s in talks with McGregor\u2019s camp over a potential bout. \u201cI think it will happen. Look, I\u2019m the money fight for Conor McGregor right now,\u201d the influencer told Cowherd. \u201cThere is no other fighter right now who is on a bigger level than me that is calling out Conor McGregor and wants to fight Conor. Our team is in touch with his team and there\u2019s talk of it actually happening.\u201d Jake noted that people thought him wanting to fight McGregor was a joke at first but now, well, he says \u201cit\u2019s as real as it gets,\u201d and he\u2019s aiming to meet the MMA star in the ring. If they do eventual square off, well, Jake is backing himself to knockout McGregor just like he has Nate Robinson and Ben Askren. While he hasn\u2019t responded to this new development, the former UFC Champion did say that he was open to fighting the Paul\u2019s prior to his most recent loss. It would obviously be a huge fight, but we\u2019ll have to wait and see what happens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
