Conor McGregor ‘confused little kid’ remark pounced on by Jake Paul after Notorious is questioned about him and Floyd Mayweather vs Logan Paul exhibition ahead of UFC 257

Before his loss to Dustin Poirier, Conor McGregor branded Jake Paul a 'confused little kid' when asked about the YouTuber's call-out campaign.

It was the first time he had spoken about the bizarre stunts the young American YouTuber attempted in a bid to lure the Irish UFC sensation into a boxing fight.

First, Paul called out McGregor after he KOd Nate Robinson in just his second pro fight last November.

He then put together a controversial callout video in which he insulted McGregor’s fiancée Dee Devlin.

When this garnered no response, he filmed a follow-up in which he taunted the Irishman's training partner Dylan Moran.

He then hired a plane to fly a banner over Miami Beach which simply read: “Conor McGregor is scared of Jake Paul.”

When asked in general about YouTubers calling him out, McGregor told ahead of UFC 257: "You know, that is what it is.

"We'll see what happens, he seems like a confused little kid to me, to be honest.

"He's willing to get in there, I don't know what'll happen, it's not on the radar at the minute with the young lad.

"I know, I have a teammate [Dylan Moran] - him and Dylan have been back-and-forth, so you never know."

McGregor then went on to discuss Jake's brother Logan, who is set for an exhibition bout against Floyd Mayweather on February 20.

"Fair pay to them, fair play to the Logan guy getting in with Floyd," McGregor continued.

"I'm excited to see how that goes. Floyd looks a bit fat to me, man.

"It's a mad little scene at the minute, but I'm not against it.

"Any man that's willing to make that walk, all the best."

However, both Paul, who made him a derisory $10,000 offer to fight, and Mayweather were scathing of McGregor's effort in the octagon.

The boxing legend is keen to see an end to talk of a rumoured boxing match between McGregor and Manny Pacquiao in 2021.

Mayweather spotted a post from an Instagram account which read: 'Why is Floyd Mayweather hated for the way he carries himself but Conor McGregor is loved for the same way he carries himself?! Let’s hear your thoughts!'

He responded: “I seen this post and my take on it is that the world knows Con Artist McLoser can steal everything from me and be loved but I’m hated.

“That just lets you all know that racism still exist.

“Just know, that bum will never be me or be on my level.

“I’m just built different, my mindset is on another planet, my skills are second to none, I’m a natural born winner and yes I talk a lot of trash, but every time I back it up!

“This is what they hate. It’s sad that you can be a poor black kid from the ghetto that has dealt with racism your whole life and work extremely hard to put yourself and your family in a better position, and most of the hate come from my own people.

“Conor cannot even win in his own sport, but talking about coming back to boxing to fight Pacquiao.

“Nobody wants to see that, it’s like my leftovers eating leftovers.”
