Jake Paul has taunted Conor McGregor after five of his UFC PPV purses were made public.
McGregor’s earnings between 2015 and 2016 have been revealed in newly released documents as part of an ongoing class action lawsuit against the UFC for alleged unfair business practices.

This lawsuit was initially filed by three ex-fighters in 2014 and now looks likely to be heading to trial in April.
The documents revealed that McGregor made £2.1million for his fight vs Chad Mendes in July 2015.
He then made £3.7million for his title fight vs Jose Aldo later that year.
In 2016, McGregor earned £4.5million when he fought Nate Diaz.
And he made £4.6million for the rematch, despite suffering defeat in the first clash.
Finally it was revealed that McGregor took home £5.5million for his fight vs Eddie Alvarez.
Paul, who has earned tens of millions from his boxing career, tweeted in reaction: “This is f***ing hilarious and sad at the same time.”
He has since deleted the tweet.
However, Paul has since also taken aim at Nate Diaz, who he beat in a boxing match earlier this year.
He tweeted: “Nate Diaz made more in one boxing match than he did fighting Conor McGregor twice in MMA. No wonder that boy begging for a boxing rematch.”
