On October 14, the Manchester Arena will fill up to the brim. It will feature what could be the year’s biggest matchups in crossover boxing. While KSI takes on Tommy Fury, Logan Paul fights Dillon Danis. As it turns out, Paul called for a million-dollar gamble with Danis’s mentor, UFC legend Conor McGregor. However, seemingly, the effect appears to have missed its mark as more and more followers joined, panning the YouTuber-turned-boxer-turned-pro wrestler.
On the second fight, given Danis’ record of pulling out during MF & DAZN: X Series 004, the elder Paul brother, leaving no stone unturned, got the Bellator MMA fighter to agree to a $100,000 clause. The hype around the fight will witness a surge as the date nears. So ‘The Maverick’ said, “If you’re so confident in your boy, [I’ve] got a bet for you. I’d bet Dillon, but he’s [a] broke b**ch. I got a $1 million dollar that says I beat your boy on October 14….“

Gautam Agarwal seems awestruck. Logan Paul appears eager to bet $1 million with McGregor. However, he might have run out of money to compensate those who suffered from the Crypto Zoo scam. Agarwal called ‘The Maverick’ a loser and a man devoid of guilt. The user questioned how he could rest after robbing people of their hard-earned cash.
Bro, got the money to make a bet with Conor. But can't pay Crypto zoo victims. Logan has no shame. Truly a scumbag. How can he even sleep after stealing money from people?

The following user, SkinnyDip also touched base on the Crypto issue: Echoing Gautam Agarwal’s sentiments, the user asked that Logan Paul seems willing to lose $1 million on a wager. But he has difficulties reimbursing his Crypto-based scam victims.
Can bet 1 million but can't pay back the victims of his crypto scam.

Jonathan Meier appears to prefer a different route. He highlighted that Conor McGregor would never risk $1 million on Dillon Danis. After all, he isn’t even willing to jump into the ring.
No way on earth Conor bets a million $ on Dillon Danis. He is not even fighting himself

It was in 2021 that Logan Paul last fought in the squared circle. Though a non-scoring bout, who had the upper hand in the exhibition match against the great Floyd Mayweather Jr., soon became apparent. His past attempts, such as the draw during the amateur bout and a loss during his first pro debut against KSI in 2018 and 2019, respectively, perhaps convinced him enough to try a hand at pro wrestling, where he has transformed himself into one of the biggest draws of the WWE franchise.
