Conor McGregor is looking forward to the biggest payday of his career yet as he inches closer to a boxing fight against Logan Paul.
Earlier this week, McGregor revealed he has entered into 'tentative agreements' to fight WWE superstar Logan Paul in the boxing ring.
Following the Conor McGregor reveal, Bloody Elbow confirmed with sources that Paul has been approached about the fight and is currently in discussions.
The WWE superstar then dropped a cryptic hint that the fight would take place last Wednesday during a WWE kickoff show, referencing one of McGregor's most famous quotes.

Conor McGregor teases Dana White's involvement in Logan Paul fight
The shocking news of a possible fight between McGregor and Paul came just days after UFC CEO, Dana White, teased the media at UFC Tampa that he was working on a “crazy fight that no one would see coming” that he was contacted about earlier that week. .
Initially, fans wondered what fight the UFC boss could be referring to, and even after McGregor's announcement, no one put the pieces together, assuming the potential boxing match would take place outside the UFC.
Despite that, with the UFC and WWE both under the TKO banner since their merger in September 2023, talks will have become much easier and McGregor has hinted that the fight will take place under the involvement of TKO and White.
The UFC boss has always been adamant that he doesn't do crossover fights and that's where his relationship with former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou broke down.
The only time this has ever happened with the UFC involved was when 'The Notorious' took on Floyd Mayweather in a historic boxing fight in 2017.

The former two-time UFC champion then followed that up with a simple message: “5 TIME WORLD CHAMPION!”
McGregor and Paul will be hoping their shock boxing fight, which is reportedly taking place in India, will enjoy the same kind of success as Jake Paul's fight against Mike Tyson, with more than 108 million live viewers worldwide.
