Throughout his time in combat sports, Jake Paul has pioneered several changes, mostly for the higher.
Earlier this week, it was shockingly announced that Jake Paul will tackle Gervonta Davis in his next boxing outing on the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.
The announcement got here as an enormous shock, considering ‘The Problem Child’ was seemingly locked into talks for a mega fight against Anthony Joshua.
Despite booking to fight ‘Tank’, Paul claimed that a possible fight against Joshua continues to be on the cards in 2026.
Logan Paul claims Jake Paul pioneered death of the PPV model
The 28-year-old’s fight against Davis will probably be streamed live exclusively on Netflix as were his last two fights against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr and Mike Tyson.
Paul’s controversial fight against Tyson was scheduled to be the primary live sports event streamed on Netflix and it subsequently broke modern-day viewership records, in response to reports.
And following suit, the UFC recently announced a brand new broadcast deal value $7.7 billion, with Paramount now owning the published rights in the US, casting off the PPV model.
With that, Jake’s brother, Logan Paul recently claimed that ‘The Problem Child’ pioneered the death of the PPV model together with his recent spectacles within the boxing world.
“It’s funny, actually, you type of pioneered this a bit bit, the PPV model for combat sports is dying it seems,” Logan said during a recent podcast episode.
“Especially now with Paramount’s acquisition of the UFC, it looks like free fights could be the way of the longer term,” Logan continued.
“Piracy is such a giant problem, that’s what it’s… There was the TV era of boxing, then there was the PPV era of boxing, now we’re going into the streaming era of boxing, it’s interesting,” Jake responded.
Jake Paul urged UFC fighters to get their value following recent deal
Since his emergence within the combat sports world, Paul has repeatedly feuded UFC boss Dana White for a lot of reasons, the most important reason being due to UFC fighter pay.
And when their recent broadcast deal was announced, ‘The Problem Child’ urged all UFC fighters to finally get their value, claiming that they now have a transparent picture of what the revenue is.
