In a recent turn of events, the internet was set ablaze when Jake Paul, the outspoken YouTube personality and boxer, reacted to leaked UFC earnings of MMA superstar Conor McGregor in a now-deleted tweet. McGregor’s payouts, revealed in UFC court documents, showed a staggering range.

However, this apparently did not meet Paul’s expectations. Subsequently, he took to Twitter to leave a tweet that garnered a significant amount of hate. The controversy further escalated after Happy Punch, the popular Twitter page for combat sports-related content, posted a screenshot of the deleted tweet. Fans arrived in hateful hoards and left some very colorful insights on the whole situation.

The payouts for McGregor ranged from  $2,642,204 in his fight against Chad Mendes to an impressive $6,812,374 in his bout against Eddie Alvarez. However, what caught everyone’s attention was Paul’s surly response to McGregor’s earnings. In his deleted tweet, Paul expressed a mix of amusement and disbelief, stating, “This is  f****** hilarious and sad at the same time.” McGregor’s earnings, ranging from around $2.6 million to over $6.8 million, raised eyebrows and sparked debates among fans and pundits alike.

However, fans quickly pointed out that when Paul remarked that making $5 million in 2015 doesn’t hold the same weight in today’s market, comparing it to making $20 million in the present day.
