Conor McGregor contacted Jake Paul online
McGregor, 33, replied on Twitter that he had done 70k buys and 2 fights. You're a failure, kid. You are a nobody.
Paul, 25, quickly responded and claimed that he had made $15 million alone in his last fight. He also said that he has sold three millions of PPVs over the course of his career.
He stated that he had just learned another interesting fact: In your 18th fight you earned $150,000. In my fifth fight, $15million was earned.
"Would you like to talk about pay per view buys?" Nate Robinson, 1.8million, Ben Askren, 500,000, Tyron Woodley 500,000.
"Tyron 2 - No one wanted to see that fight. We got 200,000 pay per view buys.
"In the past five years, you have had zero pay-per-view purchases because you don’t f***ing fight."
Paul's professional debut was a win over "AnEsonGib", an online competitor, on DAZN's sports streaming service.
His second came against former NBA star Nate Robinson (38), on Mike Tyson’s comeback undercard.
Paul was the headliner of his victories over Woodley (40), and Askren (37), former MMA champions.
He was forced to rematch Woodley after Tommy Fury, 23 pulled out with a broken rib.
The celebrity couple was rescheduled for 8/8 in New York, but Fury was again withdrawn due to a US visa issue.
Hasim Rahman Jr., 31, was the American's sparring partner before his first two pro bouts. He has now been replaced by a late-notice replacement.
