The internet recently buzzed with talk of a Conor McGregor vs. Logan Paul boxing exhibition. Still, the fight now seems unlikely due to McGregor’s reportedly high fee, which many believe is excessive. Meanwhile, Tommy Fury has thrown his hat in the ring, calling for a boxing showdown with McGregor.
Fury, who was initially set to face his former rival KSI in his comeback fight, has changed his plans and is now calling for a showdown with the Irish fighter. He urged McGregor to skip the KSI fight and instead take on him, arguing that the Irishman shouldn’t waste time with “beaten fighters.” Fury posted on X, suggesting McGregor fight the man who’s remained undefeated, and added a phone emoji, signaling he wants McGregor to reach out. Fury’s post read:
“@TheNotoriousMMA don’t waste your time with beaten fighters. Fight the man who’s beaten them all and still has his 0. I’ll be waiting.”

Brendan Schaub Reacts To $250M Conor McGregor vs. Logan Paul Boxing Rumor
McGregor sparked excitement by claiming he could earn $250 million for a fight against Logan Paul in India. This bold statement drew attention, prompting Brendan Schaub to express skepticism. Schaub, on his YouTube podcast ExtraThiccc, doubted the claim, pointing out that even top boxers like Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk don’t make that much in a single fight. In the video Former UFC star said,
“Even if he was the No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world, there’s not a UFC fighter on this planet, in the history of that organization that can make $250 million in one night. It will never, ever happen. So even if none of this darkness was going on, let’s say he was 30-0, triple champ, quadruple champ, even if he was that, he still wouldn’t make $250 million [in the UFC].”
