Logan Paul is taking his feud with the NFL into open challenge territory, setting out details of a $1 million ‘open bet’ to fight any player. As noted, Paul has been in a trash talking back-and-forth with Tom Brady, who is hosting a Fanatics Flag Football Classic later this month. Brady referred to Paul’s WWE work as “cute” and Paul has countered that most NFL athletes would “s**t the bed” if they tried to wrestle in WWE.
Paul said on a recent episode of Impaulsive that no football player would beat him in a fight. He then laid out a challenge, noting:
“A million dollars. You come to the gym, we put on boxing gloves, we see how it goes. Not a single one [could beat me]. Like, there’s levels to this s**t.”
Paul posted to Twitter on Friday to make the challenge official, writing:
“My $1,000,000 open bet to fight NFL players has caused an uproar
Here’s the update:
Nobody is willing to put $1M in escrow and be flown here to Puerto Rico (all expenses paid) & box with three professional judges
They all want to formalize this with a streamer, venue, press conferences, etc. (i.e. get paid to fight but not risk their own money), but I don’t have time nor interest in that.
I won’t step away from WWE to coordinate & train for an event, but if any player wants to actually put up $1M and fight at my gym with official referees and judges, show yourselves (that includes you @LeVeonBell)
Also, if they want no-cameras, I’m down”
No word on whether anyone has taken Paul up on his challenge yet.
