It is not wrong to term Conor McGregor as the maestro of mayhem both inside and outside the octagon. While many other fighters only showcase their fighting skills inside the cage, McGregor is not afraid to do that anywhere else. Recently, popular fight promoter Eddie Hearn talked about this.
Hearn appeared on the 14th episode of Pub Talk, which is a talk show held at Conor McGregor’s iconic establishment, The Black Forge Inn. Hearn is promoting the grand PPV featuring Nate Diaz vs Jake Paul. Now, the event also features Amanda Serrano vs. Heather Hardy. In the interview, Hearn dropped hints about the potential fireworks that could ensue when McGregor crosses paths with Jake Paul.

The interview took an intriguing turn when the interviewer posed a question to Hearn about the need for increased security, not for any other reasons, but purely to prevent a potential confrontation from McGregor against Paul. Conor McGregor and Jake Paul do not have the smoothest relationship. Time and again, the two have taken shots at each other and there is not a drop of respect between the two. The prospect of McGregor‘s presence at the fight between Jake Paul and Nate Diaz on August 5th immensely increases the chance of things going haywire.
“Yeah, it’s a good point. That could come together maybe. We’ll sign a co-promotional deal with Conor for that part you know.” Hearn could possibly be just acting witty by mentioning a co-promotional deal, or he might be serious about it. Only he knows!
However, the interviewer quickly interjected, expressing a desire to avoid the interference of Dana White, the president of the UFC. This comment hinted at the complex dynamics and rivalries within the fighting world, where promotions and egos often clash.

Moving ahead, Hearn also shared his thoughts on the characters of both Jake Paul and Conor McGregor. Despite not sharing a warm rapport with Jake Paul, Hearn acknowledged his ability to captivate audiences. Turning his attention to McGregor, Hearn described him as one of the most significant figures in combat sports history. Moreover, he also emphasized the impact McGregor has had on the industry.
“I think they’re all great characters. I don’t necessarily get on with Jake Paul. But he’s still a character and every character involved in the school brings something different. Conor’s probably the biggest of them all yeah like he’s one of the greatest combat.”
