Logan Paul leaks Conor McGregor phone call about $500 million crossover fight
Logan Paul and Conor McGregor’s ongoing discussions about a potential boxing match are more direct than most were led to believe.
UFC superstar Conor McGregor nearly broke the internet just weeks ago when he announced he was in ‘preliminary agreements’ to face Logan Paul in a boxing match later this year in India. While nothing has been formally booked nor announced, as of this writing, the two parties seem equally interested in making the fight come to fruition.
Rumors went wild about the fight, revealing a potential $500 million total purse to make the bout happen. UFC CEO Dana White, who would have to give McGregor the go-ahead to box Paul, shut down speculation earlier this week.
But that hasn’t stopped McGregor and Paul from fueling the flames of speculation. It was also rumored that McGregor was in active talks with Logan’s brother, Jake Paul, in a dueling fight negotiation, but nothing has yet to materialize.
Amidst the chaos surrounding McGregor vs. Paul, Paul assured fans that the fight talks are serious, as he leaked a recent phone call with McGregor in which the former two-division champion seems locked in on signing the dotted line.

Paul leaked a recent phone call with McGregor to his YouTube channel.
“This fight can and will happen, my man, for real. This can and will happen,” McGregor said in a call with Paul.
In a recent Vlog uploaded to his YouTube channel, Paul responded to McGregor’s callout.
“It would be something I’d step away from WWE for, for a second, to go do,” Paul said. “I think he’s trying to pressure [UFC CEO Dana White] into making it happen, because he’s owned by the UFC. He can’t f***ing s*** let alone fight without them knowing.”
