Conor McGregor was once named the highest-paid athlete on the planet. Now he’s being laughed at by the likes of Jake Paul. In a recent revelation, fans discovered that a court document of the UFC had been leaked. And with it, McGregor’s earnings from his fights.

And Jake Paul was quick to take a bite out of the ‘The Notorious’. His reaction to learning about the payouts wasn’t exactly kind. And fans were ready to defend their favorite Irishman. Here are some of the best fan reactions to the story from Instagram.

Fans react to Paul’s comment on Conor McGregor

The comment flared up right after the earnings were leaked. The post that leaked them would soon get deleted, however, the damage was done. McGregor had been paid amounts that would cross $6 million for some of his fights. Seeing this, Paul said: “This is f*cking hilarious and sad at the same time.” This did not help his image with McGregor’s fans.

“Those are UFC payouts. Not boxing. These payouts are INSANE bro. No one in UFC history comes anywhere close.”
