In his latest Instagram post, the 2-0 American tucks into some chicken while accusing McGregor of avoiding him.
Paul, 24, said: “I love all chickens, besides Conor McGregor. He is the world’s biggest chicken.
“Conor, you were just talking about me in the media saying, ‘If it makes money, it makes sense.
“I offered you $50 million, you’re getting paid $5million to fight Dustin Poirier. I think you’re a chicken.”
Paul is referencing McGregor’s interview with Bloomberg, where he was asked about the new wave of YouTubers crossing over to the ring.
He said: “As they say, if it makes dollars, it makes sense. I know Dana [White] and the UFC are not really into it, but I’m not so against it.
“I think if people are willing to get in and take the risk of making that walk, I’m certainly a viewer.”
McGregor did not address Paul’s viral callout, where he called the former two-weight UFC champion an ‘Irish c***’ and claimed he sent him a £37m ($50m) fight offer.
The 32-year-old has appeared uninterested in engaging with Paul, instead focussing on his UFC return on Saturday, against Poirier.
But McGregor has revealed talks are progressing for a boxing match between himself and Manny Pacquiao, 42.
Despite giving Paul the silent treatment, the southpaw’s training partner Dylan Moran has been caught in the crosshairs of the feud.
Paul mocked McGregor for sparring the 26-year-old, and uploaded a video of the welterweight’s only ever defeat, a third round knockout.
The internet sensation again went after 15-1 Moran, by using a clip of his loss as he called to fight The Notorious.
Paul said: “You have never been offered $50million to fight someone, meanwhile you’re sparring guys who get knocked out by this dude.”
