Logan Paul Faces Hostile Reception in Denmark, Days After His PRIME Partnership With Spanish Soccer Giants Barcelona

Logan Paul’s growth as YouTuber-turned-entrepreneur has been inspirational. Apart from that, his appearances in the boxing ring and at WWE have catapulted him to carve out a reputation as a credible athlete. While he’s still young in his WWE career, Paul’s matches have been entertaining. He has surprised many veterans with his high-flying moves inside the squared circle, slowly dispelling the doubts they had reserved for him.

That’s not all the growth he has witnessed this year. A few days ago, reports emerged that Paul’s co-owned PRIME bagged a deal with Spanish soccer giants FC Barcelona, replacing their competitor, Gatorade. However, on June 27, Paul received a rather overwhelming response from a crowd in Denmark, which put a question mark on his brand.

Logan Paul pelted with PRIME bottles

Along with Logan Paul, PRIME too has witnessed a sharp rise in its stocks in the last few months. While the drink’s availability was restricted to the USA and Canada in the past, the brand has gone global now. Keeping up with the rise, Paul and his business partner, KSI will undergo a European tour.

The duo engaged in a meet and greet in the Danish capital Copenhagen on June 27 when a mob pelted the two with bottles of PRIME drink. However, both Paul and KSI didn’t complain about the situation. On the contrary, they laughed about it.

So, it’s not clear if the duo planted people to carry out the job or if they were really unfazed by the hostility. The situation forced guards to escort them off. Neither of the owners has commented on the case, though KSI has shared a clip of the incident.

If it wasn’t intended, what could be the reason for the crowd to pelt the two? Well, the answer lies with those who were involved. But not everyone is a fan of the brand. Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, who tasted the drink, likened the experience to “swallowing perfume”. He also gave it zero stars out of 10. Was it the reason the crowd turned hostile? You make the guess.

By now it’s out in the public that Logan Paul will take part in the men’s ladder match at this year’s Money In The Bank. The PLE will take place at the O2 Arena in the UK’s London on July 1.

Paul will compete against LA Knight, Damian Priest, Butch, Ricochet, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Santos Escobar for the briefcase containing the contract, allowing him to cash in and challenge for any championship.

Before the match, though, he received backing from two WWE legends- Matt Hardy and Bully Ray. Speaking on his The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast, the six-time WWE Tag Team Champion said Paul’s participation in the match is best for the business.

Going a step ahead of Hardy, Bully Ray said on the Busted Open Radio podcast that he has no problem seeing Logan Paul win the match. He said that from a business perspective, it makes perfect sense for Logan Paul to win. Do you agree? Also, what’s your take on Logan Paul getting pelted in Denmark? Let us know in the comments.
