Conor McGregor is eagerly awaiting news about when his UFC comeback will take place…
But he’s also keeping an eye on the money-making influencer boxing scene.
McGregor is well aware that fighting any of the major YouTube stars in the combat sports arena could bring him significant earnings – quite possibly in the eight digits.
His recent comments on the possibility of facing KSI or the Paul brothers serve as a clever way to hint at a potential future fight.
That is to say, McGregor didn’t shy away from the idea of taking on some of the world’s most famous YouTubers involved in combat sports.
And, even though he acknowledged KSI’s substantial following on social media, he initially brushed off the idea of fighting either of the Paul brothers.
Here is what he had to say in a conversation with Sneak Peek TV:
Yeah, the YouTuber nerds – I would consider that a nixer, a side-job.
If I was to pick one out of them, KSI has a big name in the UK.I’m sure at some stage we’ll go through all of these guys.
Fury called me out the other day, he beat Jake and he fought KSI.I’m open for it.
