If there is anyone who knows how to keep people talking about him it is Logan Paul. A career that once started as simple content creation has now transcended into so much more. While the man sure keeps the audience divided on their opinion of him, he also does one hell of a job staying relevant. And now thanks to exhibition boxing and his pro wrestling career, Logan Paul is making more headlines than ever.
So, what’s going on in the controversial entertainer’s world right now? Well, Logan Paul is currently caught in a rumored fight between him and Irish MMA artist, Conor McGregor. Despite being committed to the WWE at the moment, Logan Paul claims that there’s a chance he might take Conor McGregor up on the offer, that is if $250 million is really on the line.
Will WWE match the reported $250 million paycheck for Logan Paul?
Former two-weight UFC championConor McGregoris looking to dip his toes into the game again after his injuries stopped him from doing so. For his return, he is apparently intending to fightLogan Paulfor exhibition boxing.
Who Is Paying Conor McGregor $250 Million to Fight Logan Paul in a Boxing Match?
McGregor tweeted on June 26, 2025, that he is in talks with India’s Ambani family for the match and has agreed to it as well. In his words,“I am in preliminary agreements with the Ambani family to face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India. I have agreed.”
The rumors of a bout with topurio 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.
Moreover, the reported boxing match is supposed to bring paychecks of $250 million each to both fighters, which, let’s be honest, seems pretty out there. While Paul is committed to his pro-wrestling career, he claimed that $250 million might just be what steals him away from WWE.
In aYouTube videotitled,Am I Fighting Conor McGregor?, Paul leaked a phone call between him and McGregor in which the latter can be heard saying,“This can happen, my man. For real. This can and will happen.”
Talking to WWE writer Rob Fee later in the video, Paul says,“
If Conor McGregor wants to fight we are running it. I mean, bro, it’s an epic fight. I would love to. It would be something I would like, step away from WWE for a second to go do.
When Fee joked,“Great, love hearing this,”Paul responded with, “250 million Rob, 250 million! Bro, I gotta take that. Unless, if Nick Khan matches that, I’ll stay in the WWE.” Somehow we have a feeling thatNick Khan, the President of WWE, might not want to match that absurd offer.
How much did Dwayne Johnson and John Cena make at WWE?
Making a $250 million offer to Paul seems really far-fetched no matter how popular the guy might be right now, especially if you look at how much WWE legends,Dwayne JohnsonandJohn Cenamake.
As perCNN, when Johnson returned to WWE in 2024, he joined the board of directors for TKO Group Holdings, aka the recently merged WWE and UFC. As part of the deal, he is set to be paid $30 million in stock awards, which will vest in 2024 and 2025. On the other hand, Cena reportedly made $8.5 million per year as of October 2023 (viaMarca).
From Getting Blacklisted by Dwayne Johnson to Earning 5x of The Rock’s Highest Hollywood Salary, Logan Paul’s Rise is Unreal
Compare this with Paul wondering if Khan would offer him $250 million to stay, it seems practically impossible. Plus, a fight between him and McGregor might not happen at all.
UFC CEODana Whiteresponded to the rumored fight on thePardon My Takepodcast. When asked if the bout was happening, he replied with a simple but straightforward,“No.”Well, that’s that.
