Misfits Boxing’s latest offering, featuring the highly anticipated grudge match between Logan Paul and Dillon Danis, appears to have been a smash hit, reportedly bringing in 1.3 million pay-per-view buys.

The report comes courtesy of Happy Punch who revealed the massive number on social media which is said to include over 800,000 live purchases, making it the largest non-professional/amateur boxing event of all time.

Much of that success is being credited to Dillon Danis who brought an insane amount of attention to the event and his fight with Paul after spending weeks online terrorizing the social media star and his fiancee, Nina Agdal ahead of fight night. Unfortunately, the build-up turned out to be much more entertaining than the fight, with Danis opting to keep his guard high and absorb punishment for six rounds of lackluster action.

In the end, Danis was disqualified for trying to lock in a guillotine choke in the waning seconds of the final round. The attempt sent team members from both sides rushing into the ring, including Logan Paul’s boxing brother, Jake Paul, who quickly ran in before retreating from the scuffle.

Dillon Danis and Tommy Fury Fail to Live Up to the Hype

In the main event of the evening, UK superstars KSI and Tommy Fury squared off in another bout that left a lot to be desired. Through six rounds, both fighters most of their time in the clinch, prompting the referee to step in every two seconds and offer up the occasional warning. By the time it was all said and done, Fury walked away with his 10th straight win via a majority decision.

In an interview with Boxing Social, John Fury, the father of both Tommy Fury and his world champion brother, Tyson Fury, offered up his take on the sleep-inducing contest.

“To be honest with you, styles make fights and it wasn’t a good watch,” John Fury told Boxing Social. I’m used to seeing two men stand up and box properly. But when another man’s from another background completely to what we’re doing, it’s hard to replicate in sparring, but we knew what he was going to do and I didn’t expect the referee to let him get away with as much holding.

“He was holding him constantly and he couldn’t get his arms out, he was smothering his work, it was horrible to watch. Listen, like I said to mark the end of it: If [KSI] had gotten the decision, there’d have been no qualms from me” (h/t Boxing Scene).

Fortunately, the event was loaded up with a lot of entertaining undercard fights, making up for the less-than-impressive showing by the final four.

In classic fashion, Conor McGregor took to Twitter after the Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis fight and shared some brutally honest thoughts about the bout and performances by both men.

Danis and Paul finally threw down after years of beef at Misfits Boxing: The PRIME this Saturday. Despite some dramatic buildup, it really wasn’t much of a fight. With, Danis refusing to truly box, and instead opting to just utilize any bit of his grappling that he could. It was a bizarre turn of events and actually led to ‘El Jefe’ getting DQ’d in the sixth round after he attempted a takedown and then took a swing at the security guard who was trying to break it up.

Despite the weird way that the fight drew out, it seemed Conor McGregor was a fan of the drama. After the fights, ‘The Notorious’ took to Twitter in classic fashion to give his opinion on the matter.

Conor McGregor claims he was impressed with Dillon Danis, takes a shot at Nate Diaz

With a flurry of now-deleted tweets, McGregor lofted praise upon Danis and took a shot at his old rival. “I was impressed by (Dillon Danis),” McGregor said (H/T Bloody Elbow).

“I’ll tell you what,” Conor McGregor continued. “It was better than Nate Diaz doing anything. That was a show!”

During his post-fight interview, Logan Paul opened up about some of the challenges he faced heading into this fight with Danis. He claimed it was made even more rough due to the constant harassment he received online from Danis and others during the leadup to the fight. McGregor would also touch upon this in his tweets.

“Are you not entertained! I was impressed,” Conor McGregor continued in a now-deleted voice note (H/T Happy Punch). “Good shots, (Danis) needs to believe in his shots more and more and let them go, some of them were alright. Some of them he was throwing were alright, he just needed to let them go a bit more.”

“What did your man do anyway, he didn’t even wobble him, he didn’t even hurt him, you little fool,” McGregor mocked. “You were in a dark spot? Guess what mate, you’re back in a dark spot now, back into the locker room…thinking about all the s—t you’ve been going through. You’re still in a dark spot, bro. You’ve done nothing! You’ve done nothing!”

Dillon Danis may have offered little in the way of offense against Logan Paul, but that didn’t stop him from talking trash following the loss.

On Saturday, Danis showed up in Manchester for his highly anticipated clash with the social media star and delivered a lackluster performance that saw him offer up next to nothing on the offensive side of things. For six rounds, Danis kept his guard high and opted to stand there and absorb a plethora of punishment from Paul. To his credit, Danis never once went down, even when Paul occasionally turned up the heat, but Danis looked absolutely clueless in a sport where striking is the only way to win.

Of course, that didn’t stop the BJJ specialist from taking to social media shortly after the uneventful affair, suggesting that after making his pro boxing debut, the Octagon is next.

“UFC next,” Danis wrote on X.

Dillon Danis and Logan Paul Continue Their War of Words on Social Media

Logan Paul offered his thoughts on the affair in the hours after the chaos had called and, unsurprisingly, had some unsavory words for his opponent on the night.

“Honestly nothing to be proud about. That dude sucks, a real c*nt. I’m gonna go back to living my life but felt good to beat his a** for 6 rounds and let him embarrass himself. Drink prime,” Paul posted.

That generated a quick response from Danis who said:

A Jiu Jitsu guy with no boxing camp or coach made his debut, never wobbled, never dropped, had no standing 8 count, and rocked you multiple times,” Danis replied. “If I were Nina, I’d call off the wedding. You achieved nothing in your own sport, MMA next.”

But Logan Paul wasn’t the only fighter to suffer Dillon Danis‘ wrath in his post-fight tirade on X. He also shared an image of former UFC star Nate Diaz shortly after getting dropped by Jake Paul during their August showdown in Dallas, Texas with the caption, “Never me.”

It seems that the war of words between Dillon Danis and Logan Paul is far from over, but it’s safe to say that nobody is clamoring to see them run it back inside the squared circle anytime soon.

Darren Till claims he would comatose KSI, Dillon Danis, Tommy Fury and Logan Paul after Misfits boxing match

Former UFC title challenger, Darren Till reacts to last nights Misfits boxing card, labelling the top two fights as an ‘atrocity’.

After all the build-up, all the talk, KSI, Dillon Danis, Logan Paul and Tommy Fury put on what can only be described as underwhelming performances. 

In Paul Vs. Danis the latter was happy to plod forward with a high guard, occasionally flicking out a pathetic jab and rarely landing anything of significance throughout the contest. then when things got bad, Danis would try to mix in some grappling, before being untimely disqualified. While Paul weighs well over 200lbs, sporting a physique that explains all his steroid accusations, the American had no pop on his shots. Paul clearly won the contest, but his skills are that of a novice – far below where his raging ego believes he is. 

Fury Vs. KSI was a tough watch, with KSI chose to do a poor impression of Michael ‘Venom’ Page, bouncing on his toes before throwing wildly. Then came the clinching. 

KSI would elect to clinch constantly throughout the fight, ruining the chances of any sort of action happening. Fury was not much better, for a supposed professional boxer, he was poor and showed nothing special.

Darren Till reacts

Fans of combat sports took to social media on mass to criticize performances from the ‘crossover’ kings. 

One of which was Darren Till, who was in the arena for the action and would not hold back on any of them. ‘The Gorilla’ then laid out his plans to ‘comatose’ one of them after he takes out Mike Perry. 

Watched an absolute atrocity last night in the form of ‘boxing’ 

Logan is dog shit. Tommy is even more dog shit. KSI is dog shit. Dillon couldn’t even box eggs. No one won. Hell won cos we are living in it.
@PlatinumPerry was the only real fighter there last night & after I knockout him clean out, I would comatose all of the above. Bad. Real bad. 
Goodnight, god bless. 
The Gorilla
Congrats to @Misfitsboxing for the success of the show. The production n everything was pin point perfect. @SaurelandBros

Till and Perry are currently talking up a potential boxing clash between them,

Jorge Masvidal blasts Dillon Danis after DQ loss to Logan Paul this is a disgrace to boxing

Sharing his thoughts on controversial grappling ace, Dillon Danis’ professional boxing bow against Logan Paul tonight in Manchester, former two-time UFC welterweight championship challenger, Jorge Masvidal has labelled the pair and the matchup, “a disgrace to boxing”.

Masvidal, revered for his striking ability – and particularly his boxing-heavy displays during his storied professional career, called time on his mixed martial arts run back in April at UFC 287, suffering a fourth consecutive loss in the form of a unanimous decision defeat to former title challenger, Gilbert Burns.

Turning his full attention to promoting and promotion work following his retirement from combat sports competition, Miami veteran, Masvidal has headed up Gamebred Fighting Championships in the time since.

Jorge Masvidal scoffs at Dillon Danis’ boxing match with Logan Paul

And tuning into tonight’s Misfits Boxing: The Prime Card in Manchester, England, Masvidal appeared to take major issue with Danis’ display against Paul, labelling the lacklustre pairing a “disgrace” to the sport and the squared circle.

“This a disgrace to boxing,” Jorge Masvidal posted on his official X account during the co-main event slot. 

Ultimately disqualified in the final moments of his six round clash with Ohio native, Paul, Danis, who attempted to wrap up numerous submissions and even a double-leg takedown attempt on Paul during the bout, failed in a guillotine setup at the ropes.

Falling to the canvas, Danis was met with a hammer fist from a frustrated Paul, who himself was pucked at with a slew of upkick attempts, before both men took to the feet, with security members from Paul’s entourage entering the ring.

Conor McGregor mocks Logan Paul after Dillon Danis win targets Nina Agdal me and her what's up UFC boxing

Sharing a wide array of thoughts on his training partner and close friend, Dillon Danis’ disqualification loss to Logan Paul tonight in a professional boxing match in Manchester, former two-weight UFC champion, Conor McGregor has deleted a post, which appears to show him mocking Paul’s fiancée, Nina Agdal.

McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight and featherweight champion under the banner of the promotion, has been sidelined from the Octagon since he fractured his left tibia and fibula against Dustin Poirier back in July 2021 in a UFC 264 trilogy rubber match.

And expected to make his return to the Octagon next year at the welterweight limit against Michael Chandler, ex-two-division champion, McGregor was tuning into tonight’s Misfits Boxing: The Prime Card in England – sharing thoughts on both Paul’s fight with Danis, as well as a headliner between Tommy Fury and KSI.

Conor McGregor mocks Logan Paul and Nina Agdal on social media

Amongst a wide and varied array of thoughts on the bout and tonight’s action from Manchester, McGregor, 35, appeared to target Agdal prior to Paul’s ringwalk – a subject which Danis had used to drawn-out effect ahead of the bout in a bid to wind-up and goad his Ohio-born opponent.

“Logan, me and her [Nina Agdal], what’s up,” Conor McGregor posted in a now-deleted message on his official X account. 

Fighting Paul over the course of six, three minute rounds in a professional boxing match, Danis, a training partner of McGregor, ultimately was disqualified in the final round, after attempting to lock up multiple guillotine chokes on Paul, and even attempting a double-leg takedown in the fourth round of their co-headliner. 

Criticized for lacklustre showings in the event’s co-headliner and main event, the above-mentioned, Danis was mocked, alongside British content creator, KSI, who claimed he was the victim of a “robbery” in his majority decision loss to Fury in their tightly-contested main event bout.
