- Not gonna lie. I do like Logan Paul.
- Forget the paperwork. Beat his ass!
♪ (punk rock intro) ♪
- (KSI) Jake Paul, Logan Paul, any of the Pauls...
- No way!
- (KSI) ...Logan Paul-- - Oh! Oh my god!
- Oh my god. Is he gonna box them or something?
- (KSI) ...Logan Paul-- - Oh my god!
No, we aren't.
We cannot be doing this right now.
- (Logan) Yeah, bro. Have him fight, bro.
- (dad) If he wants to fight me, I'm totally up for it.
- No way.
- I'm not gonna lie. I do like Logan Paul.
- (Logan) A British YouTuber by the name of KSI--
- Oh, KSI.
- I haven't seen KSI's videos in such a long time.
- (Logan) He had a boxing match against this other YouTuber
and wins the match-- - Yeah, I watched part of the fight
and it was pretty cool.
- I did not know that this is happening.
Oh my god!
- (Logan) Am I, Logan Paul, going to fight KSI?
- Should he, though?
- (Logan Paul) Yes. - Yes!
- I didn't know that he accepted it up until now.
- (Logan) This is going to be the biggest event in YouTube history.
- Bro, I'll tune in.
- He's making it so much bigger than it needs to be.
It's not that important. No one cares.
- (Logan) It's the U.K. versus the U.S.A.
- Ooh, I think I'm team U.K. on this one.
- (Logan) It's gonna be huge! - This is so intense.
- (Logan) The goal is to make waves, to provide you guys
with the most entertaining fight you've ever seen,
to make history, to globalize the Maverick Revolution.
- The boy wears his own merch. Did we all notice that?
- I want to hear from KSI's perspective.
What has KSI said about this fight?
- (Logan) Work hard, work hard every single day,
face the challenge, overcome the adversity.
'Cause that's what this is about, son!
You call out the wrong mother... - I love it.
I love it. Can't wait to see it.
- That's the best thing I've ever seen.
I'm so excited for that.
- I want KSI to win. First of all, screw Logan Paul,
and second of all, KSI is a good fighter.
- It's not for me. They can do their thing.
I can just avoid watching it.
- He did some pretty bad things and this is the next biggest thing
to get his name back in the spotlight.
(indistinct chatter)
- (Logan) It's a contract.
- I can't believe this is happening.
I really can't believe that this is happening.
- (Logan) You tell them 50/50, Logan Paul versus KSI, August 25th.
- Okay, August 25th.
- August 25th? That's so far.
- They're both trying to be so tough and it just doesn't come off that way.
- (KSI) It should be 50/50. That's decent.
- Even if one of them loses, they still get 50/50.
I think that's pretty fair.
- (Logan) You're down, yeah? 50/50, then the deal's on.
August 25th, we fight!
- I think JJ can get him in three or four rounds.
- All right, so Logan, you know, I just want to fight.
I just totally want to fight. - I'm jealous of him.
- (KS) Just get this punch out done.
Legit, the reason why it's taking long is both our teams
can't agree on [bleep] terms.
- Man, forget the paperwork! Beat his ass!
- (KSI) JJ, I'm doing the world a favor. - Yes, you are!
- (KSI) That needs to happen, man.
The people want it. Everyone wants it.
- That's true, but I think he might win.
I like Logan Paul. I watch Logan Paul.
He's done a lot of bad things, but he's an entertaining vlogger
and I kind of view him as a motivational speaker.
I think he did learn from his mistake and I think people
are taking it too far at this point.
I think people should just move on and see who he is now.
- Is this the new trend?
Like 2017, the year of diss tracks, 2018, the year of boxing?
♪ (dramatic music) ♪
- The training montage?
- (Logan) It looks like I am fighting KSI.
- Ooh, dramatic trailer.
- (KSI) Bro, for real? - (Logan) Yeah, let's get a deal done.
- Logan Paul is scary when he's heated.
Look at those veins.
- My body's ready.
- "YouTube live."
- No, it's in the U.K.?
- So stupid!
- So he actually boxes?
- Yeah, KSI's gonna win.
- Is he really who we're going to have represent America?
- I'll be watching, for sure.
- Doesn't Logan just have a very punchable face?
- Tickets?!
They're charging people for this event!
This is so stupid.
- That is gonna be ridiculous.
I will be so upset and I will feel bad for every single person
that actually pays money to see this.
- Should I go to England, guys?
- I want to see KSI beat the [bleep] out of Logan Paul.
- (FBE) So the videos we just showed you
ultimately lead to a boxing match in late August between
YouTubers KSI and Logan Paul.
- That's the most amazing and beautiful sentence.
- I'm so up for whatever's gonna go down, man.
- (FBE) So after seeing all the buildup,
what are your thoughts on the match overall
and the fact that it's actually gonna happen?
- Beautiful.
Logan Paul, everyone's like, "Oh, I hate that guy,"
so everyone wants to see him get knocked out.
- I have, on some level, respect for them.
They're actually doing what they're saying they're gonna do.
- Even if Logan doesn't win, he's gonna get so much publicity.
It's gonna be on all the news channels.
It's gonna be crazy.
- I feel like this kind of comedic idea of YouTubers fighting each other
has always kind of been around, and now it's actually happening.
Hopefully, Logan Paul is just getting his ass whupped!
Like, that's amazing.
- Has it really gotten to the point now
where the way we settle our differences on YouTube
is through physical confrontation?
- It was probably just an exchange of emails
of, like, "Hey, I know you tweeted at me,
but now we can profit off of this."
And it works.
And I think that's the part that makes me the most mad
because I know it's gonna be successful.
- (FBE) In February, KSI beat YouTuber Joe Weller
in a boxing match in front of 8,000 fans
and attendants in London.
In addition, there were over 1.6 million watching
the match live, and in the first 30 days,
the boxing match had well over 25 million views
across YouTube. - Wow.
- I haven't heard of the other guy that KSI fought,
so if they already got that many views from that thing,
imagine how big this fight will be.
- (FBE) So what are your thoughts that now there may be
a trend starting where YouTube stars are not just doing
live events like performing, but where we
now seem to have creators boxing each other?
- I think it's definitely from left field.
I'm so up for seeing other YouTubers box.
- This event just makes me a little bit mad
because I feel like it's another Logan Paul stunt.
- I can't wrap my head around it.
This entire episode, I'm just like, "What the hell is going on?"
I literally can't process this.
Let it happen, I guess.
Just don't kill each other.
- When you do live shows or you go around touring,
it's for the fans, but this just seems to be for their egos.
- (FBE) Well, as a teen, you've had YouTube around
for most of your life. - Yep.
- (FBE) And have been a part of the growth
that the platform has had over the years.
- Yeah, I think I've been watching YouTube since I was eight.
- (FBE) When you think of this new idea
of two YouTubers boxing each other in front of a massive audience
for lots of money, what does that make you think
of these YouTubers and how YouTube is evolving
in your lifetime?
- I think this is now probably YouTube or YouTubers attempts
at trying to do something different now.
What can we do to make YouTube stand out even more?
Let's make YouTubers box each other.
- All these fights and stuff are probably getting more attention
than most other videos, so that's definitely helping YouTube.
- I don't know whether or not boxing or fighting
is gonna be a good thing or bad thing for the platform.
The fact that they're expanding out of the YouTube dimension
and into the real world dimension, I think is super cool.
- Of course, Logan Paul would do something like this.
YouTubers physically fighting, not as a joke,
is kind of scary and sad.
- (FBE) There are some that are critiquing the fight,
arguing that this is another attempt to distract audiences
from Logan's recent troubles within the online community,
and another way for creators to make money.
- Yeah, I mean, I can see how this fight
is just gonna generate clout and generate money.
- He did the worst things in the past couple months.
Of course, he's gonna try to do something
to distract it from it.
- A lot of people didn't like the Logan Paul Suicide Forest thing.
He was exploiting that kind of stuff, and that's not cool.
- No one should be okay with that video,
but I think he is learning from it and I don't know
if this boxing match is gonna be the best for his reputation,
but I think he's still just trying to entertain people.
- (FBE) So KSI in a recent interview talked about how drama
is always an eye catcher, and that his recent success,
to some degree, comes from drama, that he finds unfortunate,
but at the same time, has talked about how you need
to evolve with what is working.
- Yeah, well, that's not the way.
I mean, people say any publicity is good publicity,
but, no, it's not really case.
People will hate you.
- (FBE) There's also many people feeling that these feuds
and the buildup around them are all for clickbait, views,
hype, and money, and although they will box,
it's all basically a set up. - Yeah.
I definitely think that's true, but based off of the fights
I've seen KSI do, I don't think it's clickbait.
It's definitely not clickbait.
It's gonna happen, like they said, but I think it's just
all about the views.
- Honestly, when I was watching the entire trailer,
I expected Rick Astley to come up.
I guess that's still possible, right?
On August 24th, they're gonna be like,
"Nah, we're not doing it. Nah, it's a joke, bro.
It's a joke."
- (FBE) Do you think this is okay for people
on YouTube to make content and money around this,
if people want it, or do you feel it's just not good as a whole.
- I don't see why.
We watch boxing already.
What's the difference if it moves over to YouTube?
- It's different when you're watching a UFC or MMA fight
because they're, you know, that's what they do.
They're fighters.
But these guys just, you know, make goofy videos
or whatever, so it's really cool to see them out of their element.
This is not the last time we're gonna see this.
- I don't think it's right, but at the same time,
I don't think that there should be rules in place
to stop it because then you get into censorship,
and then what's right and wrong, and whose for that to decide?
- The boxing event is just gonna sort of instigate
even more of that YouTube drama, which is the part that I don't like.
- (FBE) So finally, after hearing all the hype,
all the trash talk, who do you think will win the match,
KSI or Logan Paul, or do you not care?
- KSI, all the way.
I don't think Logan Paul could beat Joe Weller,
so being that KSI beat Joe Weller, I think he's gonna walk through this.
- I hope KSI wins.
- KSI.
He trains boxing.
I just feel like he's got the upper hand.
- I want Logan Paul to win, just because I'm his fan.
- I don't like either of them.
No, I don't care.
- I think KSI's gonna win because KSI's
already done this once, and he's already done training
for a lot longer.
- Logan Paul, he's had a background in wrestling,
but not in boxing, so I think KSI's gonna win.
- KSI will win.
I really hope he wins because I genuinely think
Paul needs to be put in his place.
- I don't give a [bleep].
They can do whatever they want.
You know what will happen?
I'll get the little Bing on my phone from the news app,
and it'll be like, oh, Logan Paul or KSI
won the fight and I'll be like, "It doesn't affect my life either way."
