However, one thing many 25-year-olds can no doubt relate to is that the idea of knocking out their big brother would give them bragging rights at the dinner table theyād enjoy for the rest of their natural lives and beyond the grave.
But thatās where the similarity ends. Because while most 25-year-olds would be left only with those āpricelessā gloating privileges, Paul would have that along with tens of millions more dollars added to his family name.
And well, when you put it that way, why wouldnāt Jake Paul be interested in punching his brother Logan in the face on pay-per-view?
āMe and my friends were talking about this the other day that that is the biggest money fight out there,ā Paul began on a recent appearance on the FLAGRANT podcast. āAnd Logan and I talk about it all the time. Parents donāt want us to do it. Theyāre like, āAbsolutely not. Why would you do that?ā
āThe Klitschko brothers never fought; the Charlo brothers havenāt fought; the list goes on. And I think Logan and I like to make history, and do shit differently, and spin the narrative. And I think for that reason, the fight one day will happenā¦
āAnd why not? Well, thatās why Iām down is because he would be the one to have to deal with that for the rest of his life.ā
Anyone who has followed Jake Paulās young boxing career is aware that he has never been short on confidence. And while he concedes that anything is possible in a sport like boxing that spawned the phrase, āpuncherās chance,ā he believes the difference in track record would tilt the risk lopsidedly onto big brother.
āItās boxing. Anything can happen. If my own brother knocks me out, Iām perfectly fine with that. If I knock out him, which is more likely to happen just because ā Logan, I love you, but heās never won a fight. But yeah, he would be the one to have to accept that.ā
Jake Paul Cites Obstacle That Could Prevent Brother vs. Brother Showdown
As Paul indicated, he has been on the winning end in his boxing career ā five times in fact ā while Logan has not.
Logan Paul has one majority draw on his record in a bout against rapper/YouTuber KSI in 2018 followed by a split-decision loss to him the following year.
Still, Paul did take the man who is arguably the boxer of this generation, Floyd āMoneyā Mayweather, the distance in an exhibition boxing bout in 2020. Yet, no winner was announced at the end of the fight, leaving Logan still winless as a boxer.
Jake, on the other hand, has a flawless record of 5-0, with four knockouts.
After Paul finished sharing how confident heād be in a hypothetical bout against Logan, he did share one reason why the fight may never happen. It isnāt because of the illustrated experience gap between the brothers, nor is it because of meddling parents or other family members.
No, the biggest obstacle that could stand in a way of Jake Paul vs. Logan Paul is one particular risk that Jake wouldnāt be willing to take.
āI would really want to sit down with Logan ahead of that and be like, āYo, can we actually come out of this peacefully?ā
