It has been a month since the first news of an eventual fight between Conor McGregor and Logan Paul came to light, and it is time that there are no reasons to continue considering this as a tangible possibility, as it is more in the realm of speculation or even in the realm of fantasy of both protagonists.
There are no details and the Ambani family has not said a word
The lack of details of a possible fight between the MMA fighter and the WWE wrestler suggests that it will never happen, let alone for the stratospheric figures that were initially being discussed, besides the fact that the multimillionaire Ambani family was involved, without any of them having given any statement about the possibility of their participation. In fact, from Mumbai, India (the place where the fight was supposedly going to take place) no information has come out about it.
For an event that is supposedly taking place next April, and of that magnitude, it is already late for there to be no promotion, no broadcaster, or even the most basic details such as the duration of the fight, the size of the gloves, the category, etc. In addition, the logistics for a stadium like the Wankhede should be more than ready, regardless of whether in a country like India there is really a genuine interest in an event of this nature.
Too much money that no one would want to pay
McGregor is going through a rough patch due to his personal problems and addictions, which is why Dana White does not want to know much about him, another reason to believe that this is an Irishman’s delusion, rather than a reality. So much so that the alleged $250 million purse for each of them for a simple exhibition boxing match in which neither McGregor nor Paul are specialists, suggests that this is garbage information.
Logan Paul wants to focus on his career as a fighter
On the other hand, Logan Paul is more focused on his activities, first with the WWE, now spreading on Netflix, and then with his multiple businesses and his podcast ‘Impaulsive‘, it is not clear where he might be interested in an eventual fight with McGregor, and in any case, it is the Irishman who needs it more than him. He said so recently: “I’ve been so good at this. And now, I’m dedicating my life to this. No more side hustles. No more nonsense. 100% WWE Superstar. This is the beginning of the Logan Paul era”. Although in recent hours he said that if Nick Khan puts up the purse, he would think about it.
And if we add to this the fact that Jake Paul has been one of the first to dismiss the possibility, apart from being a little frustrated because he was the first to look for McGregor, the narrative is forceful. The younger of the brothers said that ‘The Notorious’ is finished and that he needs more of him and his brother, than they do of him, besides that he requires the endorsement of Dana White, and that’s not going to happen, given the circumstances.
