Looks like the potential boxing match between Logan Paul and Conor McGregor which was rumored to take place in India is no longer happening, according to reports. The $250 million exhibition match that McGregor had teased back in December, appears to be off the table now after Logan Paul recently stated in a WWE promo that he wishes to dedicate his life to wrestling and avoid side hustles moving forward.
Fans of both individuals, as well as boxing enthusiasts, were left disappointed, as they were hoping to see the WWE wrestler and influencer face off against the former UFC champion, who hasn't stepped into the ring in almost four years now. However, since there has been no official confirmation regarding the fight, fans remain hopeful.
Hilarious fan reactions
Fans were seen coming up with hilarious reasons and theories about why the fight no longer seemed to be happening. Let’s take a look at some of them.
Logan Paul is scared
This user believes that Logan Paul decided to focus solely on WWE and had the fight called off because he's too afraid to face Conor McGregor in a bout. To be fair, McGregor has knocked opponents out in just 13 seconds, so he'd be lethal even in a thumb war.
No knockout, no deal
Maybe McGregor was the one who backed out of the deal because the organizers refused to let him knock out his opponent, as this user hilariously suggests.
Negotiation tactic
Many believe this to be a negotiation tactic, allowing both fighters to secure a much higher pay than was originally offered. After all, you can't buy anything for $250 million these days.
A new opponent
Perhaps Logan Paul's exit could pave the way for a fight with his younger brother, Jake Paul, who is also a fighter. The press conference would definitely be entertaining, as both Conor and Jake are gifted trash-talkers.
Audience poll
It seems this user really wanted to gauge people's interest and conducted an online poll in the comments section. The two options were "Yes" and "Hell naw", quite different from the usual poll choices.
Excitement meter
It seems that this user isn’t excited or interested in the news of the fight, as they chose to express their feelings through this hilarious Bugs Bunny GIF.
The rumors surrounding the possible fight between Logan Paul and Conor McGregor have certainly kept fans excited and guessing, with even bad news related to it fueling the hype. So whenever a fight involving either of the two does take place, it is sure to attract millions of viewers.
