On his way to a press conference for his Aug. 6 boxing showdown with Hasim Rakman Jr., Jake Paul fired back at Conor McGregor’s dismissive tweets with a full-fledged verbal beatdown.
Paul accused McGregor of steroid use, alcoholism, infidelity and more in the two-plus minute video.
“Put your bottle down, quit Twitter, and get in the ring again.
McGregor quickly fired back at Paul for hedging on a future showdown during an interview with The MMA Hour. The YouTuber turned boxer said a fight with the ex-UFC champ would happen, but he first needed to be active. That prompted McGregor to call Paul a “nobody” who’d sold 70,000 pay-per-view buys in a short boxing career.
Paul came in guns blazing and told McGregor to stop taking trenbolone. He also cited McGregor’s win against Cowboy Cerrone last year. He pulled up footage of McGregor’s sixth fight and compared it to his Madison Square Garden booking for Aug. 6. And he compared financials, citing McGregor’s own report of a $150,000 paycheck for his 18th fight versus what he said was a $15 million paycheck for a rematch against Tyron Woodley this past year.
“You have a lot to say about me, but I’m sharing millions of dollars with underpaid fighters, while you’re sharing hookers with Dana White.”
The video then focused on an unidentified woman and a man who looked like Conor McGregor.
“Oops, I’m sorry Conor, I know your PR team is trying to hide that video,” he said.
McGregor wasn’t the only one to merit a full-produced Paul video. White became the subject of an entire video diss track and video after dismissing a possible fight between Paul McGregor and White.
Recently, White appeared to change his tune on the influencer, saying Nate Diaz should “probably” fight Paul. In response, Paul offered to fight Diaz in the UFC for free – if White gave a pay bump to rank-and-file fighters.
White expects McGregor to be fully cleared to fight and able to compete by year’s end; McGregor is back in modified training after suffering a broken leg in a trilogy against Dustin Porier at UFC 264. Paul is set to face Hasim Rahman Jr. in his sixth professional boxing match.
Here is Paul’s full video:
The facts are the facts. Conor ought to have heard from Dana White, his boss that I am not the person who should play with it. Dana been hiding from me since last year. pic.twitter.com/y9wbMhmWIs
