Comments Thread For: Logan Paul: Boxing Could Be Fiscal Pass For Rest of My Life

[Cadet Bonespurs]

I’m hearing KSI and Logan Paul are making $900k each for this fight. It’s justified. They’re megastars. Eddie Hearn will make his money back on this fight and then some. As far as I’m concerned you get paid what you’re worth. KSI and Logan Paul are worth a fortune. Literally millions of fans. Being a YouTube star in 2019 pretty much surpasses being a pop star or movie star. To the younger generation these guys are it. You know I saw Ugas complaining about this fight on Twitter. How many people pay to watch Ugas fight though? How many millions of followers does he have? How many people would tune in just for him? Not even a fraction of the pull Logan Paul and KSI has. And most importantly, both have shown respect for the sport. They’ve been dedicated this past year. They’re not world class fighters. They pull their weight though. Millions of people will be watching this fight. Eddie Hearn surely had no issue paying Logan Paul and KSI $900k each because he knows damn well this fight is gonna make an absolute fortune

Unless he fights a legitimate boxer he cannot pass himself as a professional, no matter if he has a license to box.

This is a sideshow, money grab, nothing more.

Reminds me of Mickey Roark’s farce of a career

I like how He believes in himself, if He truly dedicates himself with the right type of knowledge, amazing things can happen.

This is true. Details aren't important but I work in entertainment and I can assure anyone who questions this that Logan Paul has a greater profile than Ryan Gosling in and around his demographic.

I spent a day with his brother last year in Big Bear when he was training for the Deji fight and it was incredible how many people we encountered who knew who Jake Paul was. It was as if I was hanging out with Harry Styles or Zac Efron.

This is a disgrace to boxing and to the POOR up and coming guys not getting paid anywhere near that much money.

EXACTLY.

Just another nail in the coffin of boxing, no more than it deserves.

Who the hell is this clown and 'KSI'? I had to Google them, it seems they are 'Youtube personalities'. So nothing to do with legitimate boxing either pro or amateur.

How are these two getting more publicity than the GENUINE boxers on the bill? Must be the power of social media, how many of their Youtube followers have an interest or any knowledge of real boxing?
Having said that, good luck to the pair of them. If their clueless followers regard this as bona fide boxing then more fool them.

So 'KSI' vs Lawrence Okolie next?.......I await with bated breath.
