In keeping with UFC veteran, Chael Sonnen, stories of a blockbuster $500 million boxing match between Conor McGregor and Logan Paul are up to now vast of the mark — significantly in relation to stories detailing how the potential purse can be cut up between the duo.
McGregor, a former two-weight champion below the banner of the UFC, appeared to verify false stories {that a} $250,000,000 payday would await him in a slated boxing match with the above-mentioned, Paul within the new yr — in a profitable journey to Mumbai for the duo as a part of one other pretend “Visit India” marketing campaign for the nation.
Definitely eyeing an exhibition pairing with the outspoken social media influencer and WWE (World Wrestling Leisure) megastar, McGregor claimed he would pursue a hiatus-snapping return to the Octagon as soon as he had fulfilled his settlement to tackle the skilled wrestler in India.
Chael Sonnen scraps concept of Conor McGregor, Logan Paul battle purse
Nevertheless, so far as former middleweight and light-weight heavyweight title chaser, Sonnen is anxious, stories of a blockbuster half a billion purse sanctioned for the duo are fairly removed from the reality.
“There is a very big former champion of the mixed martial arts,” Chael Sonnen stated of Conor McGregor on his YouTube channel. “He’s a big star, his name is Conor McGregor. He claims that he is going to get $250 million to box Logan Paul in India for a billionaire investor who wants to bring attention and tourism to India.”
“Oddly, more people have clicked on, engaged with and commented on Conor’s version,” Sonnen continued. “Of which not a single word is true. You’ve got to understand, Conor is not boxing [Logan] Paul, there is not a billionaire in India that is looking to bring people over and change tourism. That is something exclusively done by a government and that government does it in one place which is in the Middle East. And third, there’s no cheque for $250million dollars so he kind of went right down the list of joking.”
