Throughout his time in combat sports, Jake Paul has pioneered several changes, mostly for the better.
Earlier this week, it was shockingly announced that Jake Paul will take on Gervonta Davis in his next boxing outing at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.
The announcement came as a huge shock, considering ‘The Problem Child’ was seemingly locked into talks for a mega fight against Anthony Joshua.
Despite booking to fight ‘Tank’, Paul claimed that a potential fight against Joshua is still on the cards in 2026.
Logan Paul claims Jake Paul pioneered death of the PPV model
The 28-year-old’s fight against Davis will be streamed live exclusively on Netflix as were his last two fights against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr and Mike Tyson.
Paul’s controversial fight against Tyson was scheduled to be the first live sports event streamed on Netflix and it subsequently broke modern day viewership records, according to reports.
And following suit, the UFC recently announced a new broadcast deal worth $7.7 billion, with Paramount now owning the broadcast rights in the United States, doing away with the PPV model.
With that, Jake’s brother, Logan Paul recently claimed that ‘The Problem Child’ pioneered the death of the PPV model with his recent spectacles in the boxing world.
“It’s funny, actually, you kind of pioneered this a little bit, the PPV model for combat sports is dying it seems,” Logan said during a recent podcast episode.
“Especially now with Paramount’s acquisition of the UFC, it seems like free fights may be the way of the future,” Logan continued.
“Piracy is such a big problem, that’s what it is… There was the TV era of boxing, then there was the PPV era of boxing, now we’re going into the streaming era of boxing, it’s interesting,” Jake responded.
Jake Paul urged UFC fighters to get their worth following new deal
Since his emergence in the combat sports world, Paul has continuously feuded UFC boss Dana White for many reasons, the main reason being because of UFC fighter pay.
And when their new broadcast deal was announced, ‘The Problem Child’ urged all UFC fighters to finally get their worth, claiming that they now have a clear picture of what the revenue is.
