Perry is signed to Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship - which McGregor recently became part-owner of. Paul goaded that he would give McGregor a "fourth or fifth row ticket" with his star power no longer warranting anything better. And he argued that the Irishman - who has just one win in EIGHT YEARS - is no longer the biggest draw in combat sports.
Paul said on The MMA Hour : "I would disagree. There's new sheriffs in town. "He hasn't fought, he hasn't won a fight in what six or seven years? I don't even know how long it's been.
"He's embarrassing himself, he's ruining his legacy." Paul, 27, was set to return against Mike Tyson, 57, on July 20 but the boxing icon pulled out after suffering an ulcer flare up from a flight.
