Brothers Jake Paul and Logan Paul teased an upcoming project on social media Tuesday, hinting at a show or fight coming to HBO Max. They posted a head-to-head photo of themselves with a March 27 date and the HBO Max logo, referring to it as “the moment you’ve waited a decade for.” However, they didn’t provide any additional details.
ESPN later reported, citing anonymous sources, that the project would be a reality series, not a boxing match.
Both Jake, 28, and Logan, 29, are YouTube personalities skilled at generating buzz. Their events have attracted significant attention from the combat sports world. Jake Paul recently defeated former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson in November in an eight-round unanimous decision, while Logan Paul faced Floyd Mayweather in a high-profile exhibition match in 2021.
Jake Paul’s fight against Tyson set records, with the Tyson-Paul bout becoming the highest-grossing combat sports event ever in Texas, bringing in $18.1 million. BetMGM also noted that the fight received unprecedented betting activity, drawing three times the number of bets and four times the amount of money compared to any other combat sport event in its history.
Logan Paul is a part-time wrestler with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), where he has enjoyed significant success. He has won the United States Championship and competed in multiple major WWE events.
It’s uncertain if Logan Paul will face former UFC champion Conor McGregor in the ring. McGregor mentioned in December that he was in “preliminary agreements” with the family of billionaire industrialist Mukesh Ambani to potentially fight Logan Paul in India.
