Negotiations for a potential boxing match between Logan Paul and Conor McGregor in India are heating up, with the UFC reportedly involved. The targeted date is April, and the involvement of TKO Holdings, which owns both the UFC and WWE, could be a key factor in making the fight happen.
Things are beginning to sound serious between Logan Paul and Conor McGregor. More details about the proposed boxing match in India have been revealed. According to reports, the UFC is involved in the negotiations for the fight, and the sides are targeting April. Having the UFC involved was key for things to move to the next level. McGregor still has two fights remaining on his contract, and the UFC could block his involvement.
Many had speculated that if the fight was going to happen, it would need the blessing of TKO Holdings and UFC President Dana White. If these reports are true, it sounds like the concept has gotten the requisite thumbs-up to, at the very least, progress past the introductory stage. The concept is likely helped by Paul’s contract with WWE, which is also under the TKO umbrella. White previously OK’d McGregor’s crossover boxing match against Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2017 but has hesitated to get back into cross-promotion in other situations. However, because Paul is associated with TKO, it wouldn’t be as much of a stark cross-promotion as McGregor-Mayweather. Because of the connection and the WWE’s strong presence and following in India, it wouldn’t be a shock to see a TKO takeover weekend. Could we be headed toward a weekend that sees a WWE event, UFC card, and the Logan Paul vs. Conor McGregor boxing match happen over the course of three days? White hasn’t wanted to blend his business with WWE in the past, but as a one-off, it’s tough to imagine a more appropriate exception to make from a pure business standpoint. People asking for White to allow Jon Jones to fight Francis Ngannou are a bit delusional. Is it an all-time great fight that would captivate fans across the globe? Ye
