The payouts of many UFC fighters are revealed as a result of documents submitted to investigate the ongoing UFC antitrust case. Recently, Bloody Elbow disclosed the payments of famous fighters like Jon Jones, Ronda Rousey, Anderon Silva, and of course Conor McGregor. Now, Jake Paul took a dig at McGregor on X for his purse amount.

The YouTube-turned-boxing star mocked McGregor’s salary as hilarious and sad. The lawsuit documents revealed that McGregor had earned approximately $25 million for his fights between the period 2011 to 2016. Jake Paul seemingly taunted McGregor considering that he was earning more than him now. He had deleted the tweet as it might have some repercussions. But, here is what he wrote:

This is fu**in' hilarious and sad at the same time.
