A shocking new report has revealed the insane amount of money Conor McGregor could reportedly make for a rumored boxing bout against Logan Paul.
It has been a very long time since fight fans have seen McGregor compete. Following a July 2021 loss to Dustin Poirier, the Irishman has been sidelined recovering from a broken leg and endlessly hinting at a potential comeback. However, years have fallen off the calendar and he has yet to step back inside the UFC’s Octagon.

After a planned summer return fell through — along with his wild antics away from the cage — many fight fans have started to think McGregor may never fight again. However, like he has done many times over the last few years, he again suggested this month that he may be closing in on an actual fight booking.
But, that bout won’t be in the cage. And instead, it would be inside a boxing ring against YouTuber turned WWE star Logan Paul. This week brought news on what the former two-division UFC champion could make for the rumored bout in India. And it is obscene.

Conor McGregor to make $250 million for Logan Paul fight?
“Conor McGregor and Logan Paul are to feature as part of a historic ‘Visit India’ tourism campaign as the pair clash in Mumbai’s iconic Wankhede Stadium,” The Mac Life reported this week. “The two will be well rewarded for their efforts. With McGregor set to walk away with $250 million, making the fight one of the most financially rewarding in history.”
The Mac Life is owned by the UFC veteran. So the report could be completely legitimate, or propaganda being pushed by the Irish fighter. However, considering the kind of money being thrown around by Saudi Arabia in recent years for sports events, it isn’t out of the question that McGregor and Paul could be getting paid ridiculous sums to help improve tourism in India.
The matchup is still rumored and has not been officially confirmed by any venue or network/streaming service.
