Logan Paul vs Jake Paul? The brothers remain undecided in a potential super fight

Say what you like about Sunday’s boxing show Floyd Mayweather is the pound king and Logan Paul is the star of Youtube but one fact remains indisputable: the eight-round fight has definitely sparked attention in the worlds of casual sports and pop culture.

It may not be the preferred cup of tea for hard-fought fans, of course, which has led many to use descriptors like carnival and circus to describe the construction. On the other hand, others have praised the spectacle nature of the fight, saying it is a fight for boxing, which may be the best description at the end of the day.

Definitely after 44-year-old Mayweather (50-0, 27 KOs) touched the gloves with Paul (0-1), 26, inside the ring ()Showtime PPV, 20.00 ET) the beginning of their struggle will be very real, as well as the consequences – both physically and appropriately – based on the outcome of this struggle, under the name of “Proud Rights”.

But it’s hard to ignore how unpredictable the congestion of the fight felt – including Logan’s brother. Jake Paul stole Mayweather’s hat at a May 6 press conference to ignite a mini-clash. The trashy talk between them has been very serious and goofy, at the same time associating them with a general “fun factor” that temporary cats like and supports the old guardians of boxing.

If you’re wondering where you located the intersection of professional wrestling and boxing, you might want to put up a pin this weekend inside the Florida Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.

So with that in mind, there’s a bit of hope and fear about what happened next after this weekend’s fight. Like it, right away. Will Jake Paul come out from under the ring to attack Mayweather and start building his fight (if he beats Jake Tyron Woodley in August in his Showtime PPV debut)? Or can Paul’s brother come out with his two goals to get sweet science from former UFC two-division champion Conor McGregor?

Or what about taboo and fighting for something pro? What are the odds that Paul’s two brothers will face each other one day on the way to a collision?

Yes, I feel the wind of your quick eye from here. But the issue is Logan and Jake ask 24-year-olds (3-0, 3 KOs) more than they think.

“Everyone asks this question,” Logan Paul told CBS Sports last week. “I really think part of the reason for putting me on this ground was to entertain and lighten a show. I think it would create a show that Jake never did in a fight and probably never would do again. It excites me.”

Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko, the Ukrainian brothers who dominated the heavyweight division of boxing for more than a decade, promised their mothers that they would never fight. The idea of ​​discussion between siblings has been realized in recent years in the sport of MMA.

Ken and Frank Shamrock, former UFC stars and adopted brothers, flirted with the idea despite a large size difference late in their careers, but never followed through with it. Carlos Fodor and his adopted brother, Ben “Phoenix Jones” Fodor, agreed to perform under the band in the 2016 World Series of Fighting, but it wasn’t a big title and they had great success in the fight. Carlos won decisively, the rift between the two went even deeper.

“Everyone’s been asking us about this sport all the time. I don’t know,” Jake Paul told CBS Sports. “One day we’re like, ‘Yeah, we should.’ And the next day we say, ‘No, this is a stupid idea.’ But hey, we’re here to make history, to find out what can ever happen.”

It’s worth noting that Jake’s shyness is shared by almost everyone else in his family – including his brother – even though they both realize what a great event it can be.

“I’m on the fence too. My parents would kill us. They don’t want that,” Logan Paul said. “My dad’s ass in Ohio is hard, but he still doesn’t want it. My mom doesn’t want it, my friends don’t want it. No one wants to be near us. We’ve never fought. I think I’m better, he thinks he’s better. Coach and we have different styles.

“I don’t know, I don’t know! Give us three years to improve those skills and let us know who’s better, once and for all, for Paul.”

The differences between the brothers are as noticeable as the similar ones. Asked to explain this, Logan laughed and asked “how long do you have?” He just made the answer.

Nicknamed “Problem Child,” Jake is covered in tattoos and is much more impulsive in both. He has thrown himself into the sport of boxing with reckless abandon and wants to take it seriously for his efforts to do so. Logan’s older brother, though calmer and more jovial on the skin, seems to contrast with making fun of almost everything, including the chances of defeating Mayweather.

“We’re yin and yang. I’m sure he would say the same thing. We’re all the same and we’re just the opposite,” Logan Paul said. “We couldn’t be more equal and different. We’re T-brothers, black and white. He’s the ‘Problem Baby’ and I’m obviously an angel, for sure. I love the kid. It’s him. I’m not on the side.”

The only thing that is certain about Jake’s role in Sunday’s fight is that despite some progress from the Mayweather camp, he will be allowed to enter the stadium despite the full “Gotcha Hat” episode.

“I’ll be there. Floyd, I think, overcame his little bitch,” Jake Paul said. “I [have been] helps [Logan] in the field of training, I am helping her strength and conditioning, her mindset, meditation, all these good things. I’ll be there on the front line rooting for him. I think no one in the world can do that, it’s Logan Paul. “

Regardless of what happens in Sunday’s result, Logan Paul vows to return to the ring and the potential loss will not encourage the Paul brothers to continue the sport.

“Do losses matter?” Logan Paul said. “Conor McGregor beat his ass and it was pretty bad. It’s been a loss, a loss, a loss, a loss. He’s also the highest paid athlete in the world. I don’t know. Offer the show? Do people want to come watch the fight? Sheesh.”
