Logan Paul Dares Lionel Messi to a Boxing Match, Offers to Drop Lawsuit

Logan Paul wants to settle his legal troubles with iconic footballer Lionel Messi inside the squared circle.

Paul recently launched an all-out feud with the Argentine over their feuding brands of sports drinks, both of which went on sale in June 2024. Paul, alongside business partner KSI, introduced the world to Prime while Messi’s Mas+ came out and immediately garnered attention from fans of the Inter Miami captain.

Interestingly, both brands offered a similar bottle design which did not go unnoticed.

That prompted Mas+ to file a lawsuit in a New York court last October claiming that Prime is infringing on the intellectual property of Messi’s product and accused Prime of playing dirty in its marketing plans.

A month later, the lawyers for KSI and Logan Paul filed a countersuit claiming that Mas+ was attempting to take over their trade designs and continue to confuse consumers.

Logan Paul offers to settle lawsuits in the ring

While evidence is still being analyzed in the case, Logan Paul offered an expedited process to help the two brands settle their ongoing rivalry — a boxing match. Taking to TikTok, the WWE Superstar suggested that he’d be willing to drop the countersuit and let bygones be bygones if Messi agrees to meet him inside the ring.

“Brother, you copied us,” Paul said. “Everyone has seen it, they saw what you did. And we got a lawsuit, wait a minute, this is unfair, obviously we did a countersuit. If you can’t beat the best, you have to be the best, but that’s illegal, that’s our design. We’re defending ourselves and that’s harassment?

“Joking aside, I swear I would consider backing out of the lawsuit, only if…. Logan Paul vs Messi. See you in the ring brother.”

Of course, there’s probably a 0.00001% chance that Lionel Messi accepts the offer, but it wouldn’t be a normal day if one of the Paul brothers weren’t calling out someone for a fight that they know will never happen.

UFC welterweight contender, Kevin Holland has claimed Prime hydration poster boys, professional boxers and social media influencers, Logan Paul, and KSI of lowballing fighters under the promotion’s banner, in a bid to gain promotion for their hydration drink brand.

Holland, a promotional staple following his move from Dana White’s Contender Series, most recently headlined UFC Fight Night Orlando against two-time welterweight title challenger, Stephen Thompson, suffering a fourth round doctor’s stoppage after facturing his hand in the earlier rounds.

The Riverside native, who will attempt to snap a two-fight losing skid against the above-mentioned, Thompson, and the surging unbeaten contender, Khamzat Chimaev, has been booked to return to the Octagon at UFC 287 on April 8. at the Miami Dade Arena in Miami, Florida against Argentine veteran, Santiago Ponzinibbio.

Recently, the UFC confirmed how they had inked a deal with the aforenoted, Paul, and KSI, – which would see Prime hydration become an official partner and sponsor of the organization, with the blue and red corners for fighters inside the Octagon also renamed to reflect the recently penned partnership. 

Kevin Holland reveals he was contacted to help promote PRIME hydration

Sharing his thoughts on the Paul brothers – both the aforenoted, Logan, and undefeated professional boxer, Jake Paul, as well as UK musician and YouTuber, KSI – Holland claimed the Prime poster boys attempted to compensate him for publicity with free merchandise. 

“Prime, yeah, I don’t know if it’s run by both of the [Paul] brothers? Both of the sisters?” Kevin Holland said during an appearance on Real Eyes Recognize. “And KSI. So, the Paul sisters and KSI, Mrs. KSI. Well look, these guys say that they are going for fighter advocates right? They’re all about fighters getting paid more.”

“Well, these f*ckers are trying to send me merchandise and other fighters merchandise to rep (represent) them, but they don’t want to pay any f*cking money.”

“I think thye offered Oren (Holland’s manager) like $600 for a main page post,” Kevin Holland revealed. “I don’t know if this was the company or not, it’s either they offered $600 or no money at all for a main page post, which is pretty f*cking low. They offered $500 to somebody with 200,000 followers.” (Transcribed by MMA Mania)

PRIME, UFC, Dana White, Logan Paul, KSI

PRIME is now the official global sports drink of the UFC. The sports hydration drink brand founded by KSI and Logan Paul has signed a multi-year marketing partnership with the UFC that includes branding, marketing, and social media content creation. 

The UFC announced the news through a press release. 

“We’re excited to name PRIME the Official Sports Drink of UFC and an official partner of the UFC Performance Institute,” UFC President Dana White said.  “Logan and KSI have worked hard to build PRIME into the best-tasting, hottest sports drink on the market.  With their massive social media following and UFC’s global reach, we’re going to get the PRIME brand in front of hundreds of millions of fans all over the world.  Whether you’re a professional athlete or if you just love working out, PRIME should be your first choice for a go-to sports drink.”

PRIME Replaces BodyArmour as the Exclusive Sports Drink of the UFC

KSI and Paul co-founded and launched PRIME in early 2022. Only a year later, the drink brand has now partnered with the biggest MMA company in the world.

“I’ve been a fan of UFC for as long as I can remember, so having the opportunity to partner with them and amplify the PRIME brand is a check off the bucket list,” Logan Paul said. “Together, we are a global powerhouse and this collaboration is sure to extend far beyond the Octagon with an opportunity to give back in the process with the UFC Foundation.

“This partnership enables us to tap into UFC’s fan base and reach a massive global audience across multiple platforms, giving us the ability to flex our marketing muscles and prove we are a dominating force in the industry,” KSI said.

PRIME will also become the first presenting partner for the UFC Foundation. They will contribute to the non-profit organization by creating a youth program aimed to help people in underserved communities. They will make their UFC debut the week of UFC 284 on Feb.11.
