Youtubers vs Tik Toker fights popular with students

Boxing amongst social media stars has become a huge deal across the world. First,  it was a group of brothers. Logan Paul fought Deji, brother of KSI, and KSI fought Jake Paul, Logan’s brother. This was the start of a huge upcoming boxing opportunity within social media stars.

Boxing has become so popular among influencers that there is even a PPV event “Youtubers vs Tik Tokers,” in which the card displays stars like DDG fighting Nate Wyatt, Danny Dunan and Taylor Holder facing an individual mystery opponent each, and much more. 

The main event is one of the most exciting of them all, holding a bunch of beef in Austin McBroom and Bryce Hall on June 5. Junior Jackson Richardsis looking forward to these fights. “Personally, I think the McBroom vs Hall fight will be the most entertaining to watch because they have actual beef and are both huge on their respected social media platforms,” he said.

This is one of the reasons that this match is the live event, and it will change a lot of peoples’ opinions on their favorite social media star, which questions the overall benefits for these influencers.

Senior Joey Sarnowski doesn’t understand why some people are not interested in these fights. “I don’t know why people would see it to not be beneficial. This is a pay per view match that has been sparking the social media scene. It’s super beneficial for all of these social media stars, especially if they win,” he said. 

This past Saturday Jake Paul, and former UFC fighter Ben Askren fought in a boxing match. This match was hyped due to Paul fighting a UFC fighter, but it was a quick first round TKO for Paul, leading some people to say that the fight was rigged. However Jake Paul agrees to disagree, and after the fight he stated that “Nate Diaz could get it in 3 rounds.”

Senior Jack Dederich explained why he thinks it was rigged, “I think the fight was rigged simply for publicity. I was watching theory videos on the fight, and I’ve seen videos of Ben Askren take about 15 headshots to the face and still remain up. Also, I don’t think the referee should have stopped the fight. Ben was walking out smiling and looked somewhat normal.” 

The next fight that everyone is looking forward to is Logan Paul facing the boxing legend, 50-0, Floyd Mayweather. This fight is scheduled for June 5, either in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, Dallas or Atlanta. This match is a career match for Floyd, due to his undefeated record and potential last match.
