YouTube sensation Logan Paul burnt a massive hole in his pocket after he lost his bet and supposedly the equity in Prime in the grudge match between Tommy Fury and Jake Paul. After falling off twice, his younger brother finally got the match he yearned for in Diriyah Arena, Saudi Arabia. However, the Youtuber-turned-prize fighter tasted the first loss of his professional boxing career on scorecards. Likewise, the elder Paul brother put his stake on his brother’s win, and thus, both the brothers ended up in the losers’ column. While the UFC stars flooded to claim the stake, another fighter, Michael Johnson, pointed out the particular failed side of the deal.
The 27-year-old internet sensation recently penned a sponsorship deal with UFC president Dana White that made Prime the promotion’s official drink. Earlier, the brand had also finalized a similar deal with the English soccer club, Arsenal. Despite the buzz surrounding the deal, the WWE star failed to consider the revenue benefits that fighters missed on. On numerous previous occasions, Jake Paul had voiced the fighters’ pay issue. Similarly, he also joined UFC’s rival, PFL, with the same marching slogan.

‘The Menace’ took to his Twitter handle as he replied to the professional wrestler’s betting stake statement. Further, the 36-year-old called the pair ‘clowns’ and ‘jokes’. Also, he pressed the hard question of the involvement of the fighters in the deal.
Thus, the 21-18 record holder wrote, “You guys are clowns and jokes @jakepaul”
“funny you guys tried to get support by talking about how bad fighters pay is. How many fighters were included in that shit drink deal? Don’t worry I’ll wait….. Go back to you’re content house and make videos. 🤣 #richlosers,” he added later on.
