In his recent YouTube video, Michael Chandler expressed his frustration over the Logan Paul vs. Dillon Danis boxing match. Moreover, he asserted his incredulity at the spectacle. Chandler acknowledged that while Logan Paul might not be taking the conventional professional boxing path, fighting with a “troll” like Danis makes little sense.

This ticks me off! Logan, I get it, you’re not exactly going to the professional boxing route like Jake is. But to fight this guy, I don’t even want to name anymore because I feel like he’s just been a troll,” Chandler said. Further, he even questioned Danis’ internet fame and hype. “We keep giving him attention, we keep encouraging him with likes and tweets and headlines and fights like this. Why are we doing this?”

In the former Bellator champ’s eyes, the impending match was just entertainment rather than a legitimate boxing competition. He strongly criticized the absence of boxing credentials for Dillon Danis. “This is absolutely a troll spectacle sensationalized entertainment type of fight. There is absolutely zero boxing credentials and zero boxing talent on this side of the picture (pointing out to Dillon Danis),” he said.

I don’t even know what he does anymore aside from sit on his phone and tweet things”. In Chandler’s view, Logan Paul’s involvement in a fight was potentially detrimental to the credibility of the Paul Brothers’ brand. “I think what Logan Paul is doing right now by doing this fight is delegitimizing the Paul Brothers brand,” Chandler said.
