Is Jake Paul's chicken head look a genius marketing move or just plain ridiculous?

Is Jake Paul going too far? Fans have asked that question every time the American fighter has pulled a publicity stunt to promote the coming Mike Tyson fight or poke fun at his critics. But he has come up with another creative and hilarious stunt, showcasing his new look ahead of the open workouts.

Paul, 27, will fight it out with Tyson, 58, on November 15 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. The high-octane fight has captured the fans’ imagination since the announcement and Paul, at 10-1, has ensured the fight has all the eyeballs and traction before the action goes live. After all, he has mastered the art of promoting a fight. In an attempt to do the same, he has revealed his new hot red hair look. But there is a catch.

‘Problem Child’ turned to his Instagram handle and shared a clip of him with a Brazilian song in the background. Interestingly, the fans noticed his red hair had a chicken head attached to it. That’s not it. He also held a ‘W’ brand product in one of his hands to promote it. He wrote, ” EL GALLLOOOOOO. Open workout ready. 🐓🐔🐓”

What’s more? Paul’s t-shirt served as a marketing board in a way. He had a Celsius logo on his side, promoting the energy drink brand, which is the official energy drink sponsor of the fight. The Cleveland native is already actively promoting his ‘W’ brand in whatever way possible. However, his new chicken head look didn’t sit well with the fans, as they flooded the internet and had a good laugh.

Fans have a field day over ‘Problem Child’s new look

What’s your perspective on:

Is Jake Paul's chicken head look a genius marketing move or just plain ridiculous?

Have an interesting take?

One fan referenced the cliche association of KFC and chickens. They declared, “New KFC advert goes hard af💀.” Given Paul’s penchant for marketing, he could do one promotional gig for the food chain, and his new chicken head look would have been a perfect fit for it.

A user demanded Tyson, at 50-6, to do a dismantle job on Paul. They announced, “Mike Tyson put him in a box.” Both fighters have expressed their intentions to end the fight with a knockout during the build-up.

Someone believed the YouTuber-turned-boxer should have used a pigeon instead. They said, “It should have been a pigeon.” Paul had recently tried to gift a pigeon to the former world champion because of the latter’s love of pigeons. However, Tyson turned down the gift.

A comment hailed Paul’s music choice. The comment read, “I’M BRAZILIAN AND I CAME FOR THE MUSIC😂👉 (translated).” Galinha Pintadinha is a Brazilian project that deals with children’s music. The songs are in Portuguese and have millions of views on YouTube, suggesting their popularity.

Lastly, another fan pointed out Paul’s payout for the Tyson fan. They revealed, “Youtuber you took him 40 million thanks to Tyson (translated).” While there is no official announcement or confirmation about the same, it’s inferred from a statement Paul made once. He had told the media, “I’m here to make $40 million and knock out a legend.”
