[autotag]Jake Paul[/autotag] is pulling no punches in calling out [autotag]Conor McGregor[/autotag] and has ramped it up several notches.
The YouTuber-turned-professional boxer issued used a profanity-laced Instagram video to challenge McGregor on Monday in which Paul claims to have offered the former UFC two-division champion $50 million to fight him in a boxing match.
The tirade immediately turned personal, with Paul insulting McGregor’s fiancée, Dee Devlin, and invoking McGregor’s past run-ins with the law.
“What the (expletive) is up, you Irish (expletive)?” Paul said, draped in an Irish flag as he smoked a cigar. “Good morning, Conor McGregor. I know you’re probably beating up old dudes in a bar right now, or maybe you’re jacking off because you’re sick of (expletive) your wife. I mean, she’s a four, Conor. You could do a lot better. But happy Monday.
“My team sent you a $50 million offer this morning – $50 million contract (with) proof of funds – the biggest offer you’ve ever been offered, but you’re still scared to fight me, Conor. You’re ducking me because you don’t want to lose to a (expletive) YouTuber. You’re 0-1 as a boxer. I’m 2-0 as a boxer.”
Paul also turned his attention to McGregor’s choice of next fight, a rematch against Dustin Poirier on Jan. 23 at UFC 257. He also poked fun at Poirier’s social media following.
“I just came off the eighth biggest pay-per-view event in history, but you want to fight Dustin ‘Prober’ who has less followers on Instagram than my (expletive) dog,” Paul said. “That’s a fact.”
That’s not a fact.

Still, Paul continued on to recent comments made by UFC president Dana White. Paul took exception to White recently saying that a fight between Paul and McGregor would never happen.
“Dana White, you’re a (expletive), too, you ugly, (expletive) bald (expletive),” Paul said. “You said there’s zero percent chance of this fight happening, but there’s zero percent chance of you getting some (expletive). Conor, you’re scared. Dana, you’re scared. Sign the (expletive) contract, you idiots. Jesus (expletive) Christ. Irish (expletive). (Expletive) these guys.”
Paul walks out of frame after that as the video comes to an end.
In addition to the video callout, Paul posted a document appearing to be the terms of the bout agreement he claims he submitted to McGregor. The document had the $50 million amount listed, as well as the terms under which the bout would be contested.

Paul most recently competed in the co-main event of the Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr. pay-per-view. In under two rounds, Paul flattened former NBA player Nate Robinson with a brutal knockout. He then challenged McGregor and his training partner and friend, Bellator fighter Dillon Danis, to a boxing match.
Since then, Paul has been called out by many athletes throughout the sports world. His brother, Logan, recently booked a boxing exhibition bout against Floyd Mayweather.
McGregor’s lone boxing match came against Mayweather in the lucrative “Money Fight” in August 2017. Mayweather finished McGregor by standing TKO in Round 10.
