Jake Paul vs. KSI has been beefing with each other since the start of their influencer boxing journey. The fight has been in the making for many years now and fans have expressed their absolute desire to watch the two duke it out once and for all. However, the fight never materialized because of the issue of weight between the two camps and the way the duo is progressing in their career, the fight seems further now than ever before.

A few months ago, the British YouTuber/boxer claimed that the fight might never happen as the MVP co-owner Nakisa Bidarian was terrified of the potential chances of a loss for Jake Paul at a lower weight. Ever since KSI made the statement, fans wanted to know what Bidarian had to say. However, on Tuesday, as Bidarian finally spoke his mind on the All The Smoke podcast, trouble was waiting for him.

Gen-Z not the market for Jake Paul anymore?

On Wednesday, KSI Twitter Community member @Arman_101012345 posted two clips for Bidarian and Jake Paul from the podcast where the MVP co-owner had contrasting opinions regarding the younger generation. The first clip featured Bidarian dismissing the idea of his MVP partner fighting against the Misfits co-owner. Bidarian scoffed, “Why would we fight KSI? Cause a bunch of kids wanna see it?” claiming that only the younger demographic wants to see the fight and it won’t appeal to mature audiences who consume boxing. However, the promoter later contradicted himself by claiming that Most Valuable Promotion focuses on serving Gen Z and Gen Alpha audiences.

“We would love if Riyadh Season wanted to sponsor one of our events. These are MVP events. This is the brand that we’re building FOCUSED in Gen Z & Gen Alpha, for the youth of the world,” stated Bidarian. For the uninformed, Gen Z and Gen Alpha refer to people born between the mid-to-late 1990s and the early 2010s. Bidarian indirectly accepted that his promotion is serving the same audience who are interested in watching Jake Paul fight KSI.

The X user @Arman_101012345 was evidently furious by those statements and asked Bidarian to “MAKE UP UR MIND.” He even urged Mams Taylor and BAVAFA Sports To “plz make the fight,” as it “would shatter records.” The statement truly perplexed the fans as they rained down their fury on the MVP co-owner for his statements.

Nakisa Bidarian is the real culprit, claims fan

A user replied to the tweet and wrote, “Bro 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ like wtf fam what is wrong with him,” as he tried to make sense of the statement.

Another fan directly attacked Nakisa Bidarian and wrote, “Are you stupid? @BAVAFASports.” BAVAFA Sports is a sports management and advisory firm founded by Nakisa Bidarian and plays an important role in organizing Jake Paul and MVP bouts.

Another user, who was seething with anger and had the same idea, wrote, “@BAVAFASports is so m********ing stupid!!!🤦🏻‍♂️,” as he couldn’t mince his words. Fans are wondering why the 27-year-old is still reluctant to make the KSI vs. Jake Paul fight as it will definitely break several financial records.

Another user declared Bidarian as the sole reason for this potential fight to not happen. He further agreed with KSI and declared that the MVP co-owner fears that ‘The Problem Child’ might lose, which will affect his future fights against the likes of Canelo Alvarez, Conor McGregor, and more. He wrote, “It’s become extremely evident that Nakisa is the one preventing this fight from happening for as long as possible JUST INCASE Jake loses and ruins his shot at any huge paydays like the Fury rematch, McGregor, Canelo, etc. Anyone still hating on Mams for this is seriously retarded,” declaring the decision as ignorant and dense. 

With this statement, Nakisa Bidarian has created more confusion rather than giving answers. Undoubtedly fans still want to see the Jake Paul vs. KSI fight and it will be a huge cash grab. However, it looks like the MVP owners are not even considering the fight at the moment.
