KSI reveals his personal insights
In the world of YouTube influencers and the unexpected boxing careers they have carved, KSI holds a unique position. A seasoned YouTuber and boxer, he’s not only thrown punches but also has thrown out predictions that have hit harder than any physical blow.
In a video posted on his YouTube channel a few months before Kingpyn’s bankruptcy, KSI delivered a memorable quote that now stands as a haunting prophecy. He said, “A lot of people have been asking me who I think is gonna win. If I am being honest, I don’t think anyone’s gonna win. Because I don’t think it’s gonna reach the final. Best believe they’re not making a profit, they’re not making a profit.”
KSI continued, sharing insights into the financial operations of Kingpyn and his conviction about their unviability. He said, “I imagine with the amount they are spending and the amount they’re making is just not adding up and they’re just making loss after loss. And especially if Nunes(Whindersson) doesn’t reach the finals, I just can’t see anyone caring.”
In contrast to Kingpyn’s financial trajectory, KSI detailed his own experience with the Misfits events, saying, “I mean believe it or not, with Misfits we have made a profit on every single event. Even the events where people think there are not many people etc, like we always manage to make a profit. Just because we don’t spend stupid money on fighters. We give the fighters what they’re worth.”
His words, filled with confidence and an uncanny foresight, now resonate louder than ever in the aftermath of Kingpyn’s bankruptcy. A thrilling arena with famous fighters may bring momentary applause. But as KSI stated, the key to a profitable event lies in sensible spending and understanding the worth of fighters.
