00:00Logan Paul about to get in the boxing ring again against Conor McGregor at
00:05least Conor McGregor is the one saying that at this point Logan has not spoken
00:09of but Conor says the deal's all but done and well here's what Conor I'd say
00:16about it Conor said the rumors of a bout with
00:18Teporia are false that's a UFC fighter yes I am in preliminary agreements with
00:23the Ambani family a family from India that 45 billion dollar family from India
00:27to face Logan Paul and that is key I think the 45 billion yes to face Logan
00:31Paul in a boxing exhibition in India I have agreed I will then seek my return
00:37to the Octagon so money talks and again 45 billion dollars I would go fight
00:45well they're not giving them 45 billion but I know but they got a lot of a lot
00:49of money to blow and that's the same thing that happened with Mike Tyson Mike
00:54Tyson and Jake Paul yep and I just feel like the public might have a bad taste
00:58in its mouth from that fight and I think it's gonna hurt the interest in this
01:03Logan Paul Conor McGregor fight I kind of agree not at all not at all here's
01:07no real Logan Logan Paul puts butts in seats so does Jake his fans are not the
01:11same as Jake's Logan Paul when he fought Floyd Mayweather he made a bunch of
01:14money Floyd got about 40 million Logan reportedly got about 20 or 5 million
01:19there's a ton of money in this Conor McGregor to be completely honest his
01:24days of making big money in UFC are gone Habib Nurmagomedov is not coming
01:28through that door Nate Diaz is not even in the pretty in the promotion anymore
01:32so who's gonna give him a different thing now guys you're missing the point
01:39you're all missing the point it doesn't matter whether 50 million or 5 million
01:44people watch this this Indian family is gonna pay them I know more money and
01:49that's my point and I want to say this to you and to Lucas hear me all this
01:53money you're talking about is what's destroying the freaking sport oh yeah if
01:58somebody offered you an ungodly amount of money to do something that would hurt
02:05a sport that you were in free I don't know you're talking well come on you
02:09know you would do it at a point at a you have everybody has a price for that and
02:13if they say you I of course you I get what you're saying about why they would
02:18accept it I just think it's killing the sport it may be killing me and and I
02:22think you're right I see I'm not disagreeing with you I just think this
02:25is human nature these guys are there to make money that's their career and if
02:29some Indian family I want somebody 30 million dollars to get a lot of money
02:33for an actual real fight an actual sanctioned fight that matters where you
02:39know that they're actually going to be trying and like I said and in a
02:43sanctioned fight it wouldn't happen and if it's not right and if it's not a
02:45sanctioned fight but you're gonna make 30 million dollars you're gonna say no
02:49listen people have made a lot of money in sanctioned fights not like it's well
02:54you're right but after what happened with Mike Tyson and Jake everybody's
02:59suspicious now about you know signing up this way you got a family offering you
03:04more than you would have you had 50 million people watching out in Nashville
03:10and why would he come out and say this before he even has it ain't and they
03:16wouldn't come out together and it's just odd that he wouldn't have this Korea you
03:21know choreographed with everybody is he just saying this because he wish he
03:25wants to find like you said Harvey anybody would want to fight him right
03:28now he's the money man anybody will go in there but does he really have it
03:32nailed down we're gonna find out this is called boxing if the price is right
