The WWE’s Logan Paul says his life ambition is to quit athletic sports when the YouTuber becomes a billionaire, as he prepares to potentially face the UFC’s Conor McGregor in a mouth-watering fight in 2025.
After beginning his career broadcasting in 2007 and going viral in 2013, the 29-year-old has managed to find new success in the theater of professional sports through notable fights such as taking on KSI and Floyd Mayweather.
He’s now left behind boxing and works in wrestling with the WWE, and became the United States champion. The Maverick also founded the PRIME sports drink company too, which reportedly made $1.2 billion in 2023.
His success has seen his net worth balloon to an estimated $150 million dollars before he even turns 30. But he’s not done yet as he says when he plans to quit.
“The honest answer,” Logan told the co-host of B/S with Jake. “When we [he and his brother] both hit that billion.”
Logan‘s brother, Jake, also added he aims to become a billionaire too but he won’t quit on the celebrity life if he achieves the goal. The 27-year-old warned fans will see an even more “unhinged” version of him.
McGregor vs Paul: The latest
The American could be back in the boxing ring sooner rather than later. He is tipped to be fighting McGregor following years of back-and-forth spats with the Pauls on social media, as well as Logan humiliating Dillon Danis, who was a part of the Irishman’s MMA team.
It’s currently tipped to be an exhibition bout and could see the former UFC lightweight and featherweight champion make $250 million dollars. Logan‘s earning would likely be in the same ballpark.
The fight could take place in Mumbai, India at the Wankhede Stadium. The venue hosts cricket, including the 2011 World Cup Final when India became world champions over Sri Lanka, and seats an estimated 39,000 people although this could grow for boxing.
