Your support makes all the difference.Eddie Hearn has told The Independent that there is a ‘very good chance’ Jake Paul will fight on the subsequent card to KSI vs Logan Paul II.
The two YouTube stars meet in a rematch of their controversial white collar majority draw last year – and it’s unlikely Jake will be on the card this time.
The younger brother of Logan featured on the first show and even had more concurrent viewers during his fight against Deji (ComedyShortsGamer) according to YouTube.
Paul made a video on his channel asking Hearn to allow him to fight on the card after it was revealed there were no plans to do so.
Hearn, however, has been in discussions with the 22-year-old.
“There’s a very good chance he’ll be on the undercard of the fight after this one,” Hearn told The Independent at a media workout for rising lightweight superstar Devin Haney.
“It’s going to bring in, let’s say 500,000 subscribers so what happens after? We’re trying to keep them in boxing but do they stay the next month or do they go? We want them to stay, some will some won’t but we want to keep them digesting that content, Joshua against Ruiz, watch all these fights on DAZN and fall in love with the sport.
“The longer we can keep them, the better for boxing and the better for DAZN so if we throw him on in December or January, they won’t unsubscribe because they’ll still want to watch Jake Paul.
“Commercially it makes sense, we just have to be careful with where we’re going, the product has to be good.
“It is a circus, we just have to make sure it doesn’t become a complete circus.”
One man who could face Paul is Dillon Danis, who claimed earlier this week that he has already signed a contract for the fight.
“I signed my contract, waiting on your end Jake Paul,” Danis tweeted.
“Let’s give the people what they want!”
