Logan Paul has asked UFC and WWE supremo Ari Emanuel to be allowed to fight Conor McGregor. Paul has been signed up to appear every week as part of the WWE’s new Netflix deal, and has ‘dedicated his life’ to the endeavour. However, Paul has admitted that an offer to fight McGregor might lure him back to the boxing ring.

While it looks like reports of a pair of $250million purses for their prospective fight came from a parody account, both Paul and McGregor appear to be running with the narrative. A big factor for both men appears to be the money, whether or not it’s legitimate. 

While there seems to be a lot of uncertainty surrounding the matchup, Logan Paul recently asked Ari to approve the fight. Interestingly, Dana White has not seemed too keen on the matchup.

In a video posted on his YouTube channel, Paul headed to his former home of Los Angeles to appear at WWE Raw’s debut on Netflix. On the show, he made an appearance in a pre-taped interview before heading ringside to goad fans and announce his plans to compete throughout the year.

Logan Paul spent time backstage and ringside with a number of the WWE’s big stars including his old rivals Kevin Owens and LA Knight. But perhaps the most interesting moment came when he met Ari Emanuel the CEO of Endeavor and the TKO Group, which owns WWE and UFC.

Paul could be seen shaking hands with Emanuel and telling him “Ari, I need one favor from you,” to which the Hollywood mogul responded “Yeah”, before Paul said “I need you to greenlight me vs Conor.” The pair then laughed, before mutually saying “seriously”.
