Logan Paul and Conor McGregor will not be facing each other in the Boxing ring, despite McGregor previously suggesting a potential fight in India. The rumored pay for this fight for both competitors was $250 million each.

McGregor had teased the matchup as a battle for the “TKO King” title, referencing TKO Group Holdings, the parent company of WWE and UFC. In a provocative post, McGregor wrote:

“TKO Group! UFC vs WWE. There is levels to this, a big, sloppy novice is going to find out! TKO KING TITLE #BiggestGenerator#KingofNumbers #Streams #PPV

I hold every record and I am coming back to KO this novice and rack in more numbers for the company. #StockMarketIndia #MyHighestPayPacketYet #Thanksforthecheese.”

Logan Paul, whose last boxing match ended in a controversial disqualification win over Dillon Danis, won’t be taking on McGregor after all.

In an interview with The Schmo, McGregor confirmed the UFC vetoed the idea:

“It is what it is. The UFC just aren’t into it. I had the offer on the table in writing. Both athletes under the TKO banner, UFC, WWE, both rising up. You know the stock price of TKO Holding Group through the roof. New market in India opened up and booming.

It was the business savvy and business sense to make the fight happen, or should I say the glorified spar happen, and in between this waiting period that we find ourselves in before I can get back to the Octagon, it made perfect sense on the calendar to go ahead with.

I’m not sure the WWE, what their interest in was. I just knew the UFC weren’t into it.”
