Mike Perry lost his fight and his job in the same night.
“Platinum” was pieced up and put away by celebrity boxer Jake Paul in the main event of the “Fear No Man” pay-per-view (PPV) card last Sat. night in Tampa, a sixth-round shellacking that made the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) bruiser look amateurish, at best.
That didn’t sit well with BKFC owner Conor McGregor.
“Hey Mike, you’re released and you can go and compete in your smelly dirty boxing championship thing, the smell of it, good luck,” McGregor wrote on Twitter. “You’re fired.”
Sounds like “Notorious” was also upset that Perry used his Paul press to introduce a new fighting league, Dirty Boxing Championship, while under contract with BKFC. In addition, McGregor has been going back-and-forth with Paul in the media over the last few months.
“Jake Paul is the biggest pissbag I have ever seen in my life,” McGregor tweeted. “40 pound weight difference, juiced out of his head, and still shitting himself in there. Nakisa you should take him to Vegas — oh that’s right you could never, the athletic commission testing, real testing, real fighting. B*tch asses. You could never. And then calling out 60 year-old Mike Tyson fresh off an in-flight medical emergency? I swear to god, a fat can of b*tch piss. Most valuable pissbag.”
Perry said “Conor McGregor can’t fire me” at the post-fight press conference.
Whether or not McGregor has that kind of authority in his ownership role is unknown at this time, but it’s not a great look regardless of what the future holds for Perry and BKFC. Expect to hear more on this from BKFC President David Feldman in the coming days.
