After several bouts of controversial stunts, brothers Jake and Logan Paul have change into some of the most successful Youtube content creators. The two have performed it all on the platform, from flashy track movies to mischievous pranks. However, the Paul brothers have in recent times set their sights on taking up the sport of boxing. Following a fans' request of scheduling more fights, the two imagine that probably the most record-breaking event in sports history could be none as opposed to Paul vs. Paul!
The infamous brothers made their boxing debut on August 25, 2018, respectively going against fellow YouTubers KSI and Deji. The fights took place in Manchester, England, and were filmed for a pay-per-view on Youtube. It used to be an enormous luck, incomes $3.Five million in price ticket gross sales and bringing 1.05 million views to the website online. After KSI and Logan's fight resulted in a draw, a rematch used to be planned, which Paul lost in a cut up resolution.
Fans of the brothers and boxing alike wait with bated breath for the following few months as Logan is set to go toe-to-toe with champion fighter Floyd Mayweather. His brother is scheduled to have a battle towards martial artist Ben Askren. Both occasions are positive to have a large turnout, but Jake believes that a struggle towards his brother could be a lot more successful.
"I'm a showman, so is Jake, and we had a little rivalry on YouTube that has never been matched and I don't believe it ever will," Logan explains to Access, "I'd go ahead and say Logan Paul versus Jake Paul would be one of the greatest, and biggest and highest-grossing pay-per-view combat sports events of all time."
This rising development of YouTube boxing has made these brothers much more money than ever. While actual numbers are not public, YouTuber AnEsonGib made more than $900,000 for his fight with Jake. The Paul brothers have admitted to making a lot more money via boxing than they ever have from their sparkling careers as Youtubers.
"You can make millions of dollars on YouTube and it’s lucrative, but there’s a cap. You can only get to a certain threshold," Jake tells Forbes (who indexed him as #2 on their 2018 listing of best paying Youtubers), "You look at the highest-paid boxers, and it’s Floyd Mayweather. That’s why boxing is my focus. I’m excited about the upside of it."
It's very most likely that the battle of the brothers may actually as their boxing careers have turn out to be the debate town for the previous three years. No topic who will get knockout first, it is undoubtedly a win-win for the Pauls.
