Jake Paul mocks Conor McGregor after UFC 257, cuts fight bid from $ 50 million to $ 10,000

Conor McGregor had a rough night on Saturday and maybe no one appreciated him more than a Jake Paul.

Paul was the first to poke fun at McGregor after the MMA star’s loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 257 on Saturday night, which should come as no surprise. The YouTuber / aspiring boxer has been relentlessly mocking McGregor in a bid to book a fight with the Irishman for over a month – even offering $ 50million to face each other in the ring.

Well, after McGregor’s crushing loss in Abu Dhabi on Saturday, Paul has apparently decided to renegotiate the terms of his offer. In a video posted to Instagram, Paul briefly stopped laughing at McGregor long enough to let him know he was now only offering $ 10,000 for the fight.

I’m not sure McGregor’s valor was so successful on Saturday, but Paul certainly wasn’t going to pass up the opportunity to grab a disrespectful victory lap after McGregor’s loss.

Earlier in the week, McGregor called Paul “a confused little kid” in response to the repeated taunts, so it should be interesting to see how he reacts to this latest mockery. If Paul is really Seeking a clash with McGregor (perhaps as a follow-up to his brother’s potential fight against Floyd Mayweather), the $ 10,000 offer won’t be taken seriously.

Paul clearly has a thirst to be on McGregor’s radar and land a fight in an effort to elevate and legitimize his own boxing career. The 24-year-old recently fought former NBA star Nate Robinson and delivered a brutal second-round knockout to go professionally 2-0.
