Jake Paul
“I think we’re a lot closer to a Jake Paul-Conor McGregor fight than anyone thinks. I think it could happen in the next 24 months.”
“I think we both are on a road to each other. He wants another boxing fight. He wants to fight Manny Pacquiao. He would get toasted.
"He just keeps on taking Ls. So I think him fighting me would not only be his money fight, but it would technically be the easiest challenge, right? Fighting Jake Paul would probably be easier than fighting Manny Pacquiao and it would be just as big."
Ben Askren
"I don’t really intend to box after Saturday night, but no it’s not a who question. It’s how much question.
"Is Triller going to recognise that I’m going to sell him a million pay-per-views and cut me a Conor McGregor type check for the next one, because if they do, then I would consider doing it again.
"And if they don’t, I love coaching wrestling and podcasting, that’s kind of my passion in life. I’ll probably just go and do that.
