Jake Paul has been making a name for himself in the sporting world, taking on huge boxing fights and making millions from the events and is now entering into a war of words with Conor McGregor.
The Problem Child has had five bouts so far, winning all five with four coming via knockout. First he took down AnEsonGib via technical knockout before knocking out his second opponent, Nate Robinson.
He made it three knockouts from three when downing Ben Askren via TKO, with Tyron Woodley being the first man to go all the way with Paul, but Woodley did lose on a split decision. In their rematch, Paul set the record straight, winning again but this time via knockout.
We get to see Paul step foot in the ring once again next month, making his Madison Square Garden debut, taking on Hasim Rahman Jr in the main event bout.
The fight was scheduled to be against Tommy Fury, but the Manchester born fighter wasnât able to get clearance to travel to the States and had to withdraw, with Rahman Jr stepping in at short notice to make sure the event goes ahead.
Recently, McGregor took to Twitter to call Paul a âflop, kid. A nobody.â He also slammed his pay-per-view buys after comments Paul made in an interview.

Paul wasnât going to stand for that, replying with a video, criticising McGregorâs sixth fight with âtwo people in the crowdâ whilst bragging his sixth fight is at MSG. On top of that, he broke down his earnings from fights and compared it to Notroious.
He ended the video by ranting: âYou shouldnât have f****d with me Conor, this is my game, thereâs a new king in town, Iâm running s**t now.
âLast year when I won knockout of the year, you were just getting knocked out, fix your calcium deficiency, stop breaking your bones and letâs get in the f*****g ring and make $200 million.
âNo matter how you slice it, weâre not on the same level, Iâm my own boss. Yeah you made $100 million when you fought Floyd [Mayweather] but Dana [White] took half of it.
âSo no matter what you do or what you make, cut that s**t in half, if we went net worth for net worth I would s**t on you Conor, put the bottle down, get off of Twitter, get back in the ring and shut the f**k up, Iâm gonna put you back on a leash, f**k you, Conor.â
Interestingly, reports claim that McGregorâs net worth is $200 million with Paulâs struggling to compete at $30 million.
So if those reports are to be believed, Paul has made himself look silly, however, those are just internet reports, it would be impossible to know their exact net worth unless they released it publicly.
Itâs certainly heating up between the pair and we are all here for it!
