The speculations around the Conor McGregor vs Logan Paul boxing match continue to stir up as the WWE superstar has added some spice to it. In a video blog shared by The Maverick on YouTube, he showed some instances of having a conversation with McGregor, who looked to be interested in making the fight happen. While Paul said that he would be dedicating himself to the WWE, he is very much down with the idea and could also put his wrestling career on hold.

“If Conor McGregor wants to fight, we are running it. It’s an epic fight. It would be something I would like step away from WWE for a second to go do. $250 million, Rob. $250 million, Rob. I have to take that. Unless, if Nick Khan matches that, I’ll stay in the WWE.“

I think he’s trying to pressure Dana (White) into making it happen because he’s owned by the UFC. Like he can’t do f**king s**t, let alone fight without them knowing,” Logan Paul said in his video blog on YouTube while speaking to WWE writer Rob Fee.
