Conor McGregor makes $250million demand as he sends message
Conor McGregor took to social media to make the demand
Conor McGregor has teased a potential $250million payday if he steps into the ring to fight Logan Paul later this year. The Dubliner has been linked with a bout against the older of the Paul brothers.
Last month, McGregor claimed talks were ongoing to stage a fight between himself and Paul in India. He wrote on X: "The rumours of a bout with Topuria are false. I am in preliminary agreements with the Ambani family to face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India. I have agreed. I will then seek my return to the Octagon."
The former two-weight UFC champion has not fought since suffering a broken leg in his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier over three and a half years ago. He has won just one fight in eight years.

McGregor was scheduled to face Michael Chandler last June, having coached against the American on The Ultimate Fighter the previous year. But he was forced to withdraw from the fight after breaking a toe in training.
India's Ambani family are understood to be working on a return for McGregor against one of the Paul brothers. The proposed bout would take place at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
Taking to X over the weekend, McGregor posted a photo of WWE star Paul during a wrestling appearance, captioning it: $250,000,000. #ImComing,” along with an emoji of the Indian flag.
