Fans react to ‘The Notorious’ getting one over Jake Paul

The Irish superstar’s reply to the YouTuber-turned-boxer had the fans rattled. One fan posted a picture with the subtitle, “I actually think he’s dead unfortunately no cap.”

Another fan mentioned Jake Paul’s tweet about the result of the Amanda Serrano vs Katie Taylor bout and posted a picture of both the Irish superstars laughing at that.

Apart from his Octagon performances, ‘The Mystic Mac’ has always dominated in the verbal battle as well; the fans labeled this interaction with Jake Paul as a clear win for McGregor.

However, Jake Paul would like the fact that the second-biggest PPV draw in combat sports is going back and forth with him as it would get more eyeballs on him as he seeks to secure even bigger fights.

Will Jake Paul vs. Conor McGregor happen in 2022?

‘The Problem Child’ has already teased his return for August, i.e. around the same time as McGregor. If the latter’s interviews were any sign, he would return around the same period as Paul.

Yet a contest between these two fighters perhaps is not on the table for 2022 as Conor McGregor has shown interest in returning to MMA & not boxing.
