Conor McGregor appears to confirm that he will fight Logan Paul in India for a lot of money. Two weeks ago, McGregor revealed that he was currently negotiating to fight in India.
“The rumors of a bout with topurio (sp) are false. I am in preliminary agreements with the Ambani family to face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India. I have agreed. I will then seek my return to the Octagon,” McGregor wrote on X.
Veteran MMA journalist Ariel Helwani confirmed that there were preliminary talks between McGregor and Paul.

“The only thing that I can add to it is, again, to maintain, as I said yesterday, there’s validity to the fact that phone calls were made. What Jake [Paul] tweeted, based on my understanding, is accurate… Phone calls were made between Team McGregor and Team Logan Paul [but it] feels like a long shot.”
On Sunday, FightBookMMA reported that McGregor and Paul had agreed to a $500 million fight that will pay them $250 million each.
