Yahoo Lifestyle Why the Jake Paul and Logan Paul 'fight' may not be a boxing match
Jake Paul and Logan Paul captured the internet's attention on Tuesday when the pair teased what, at least on its face, appears to be a fight between the two.
The event is scheduled for March 27 and will stream on Max. Both Paul brothers posted graphics for the supposed fight, leading many to believe they will truly face off in the ring this spring.
However, there are quite a few reasons to be skeptical that this "fight" will actually be a fight.
To start, neither brother mentions an actual fight in the posts. Both posted identical captions, which read "The moment you've waited a decade for."
While that's the first clue that this event may be something other than a boxing match, there are other indicators, as well.
According to a report from USA TODAY's Josh Peter, a fight between the Pauls hasn't been listed on BoxRec, a database that charts both sanctioned professional and amateur fights. However, it does not list exhibitions.
Per Peter's report, more information about the event is expected on Thursday. Neither Warner Bros. Discovery or Jake Paul's MVP promotions put out a press release along with the brothers' announcements.
Max, which did repost both announcements on social media, did not respond to a request for comment from Awful Announcing regarding whether there will be a fight between the Pauls.
There are also logical reasons to think this may not actually be a fight. As Awful Announcing's Ben Axelrod points out, Jake is a much more experienced fighter and typically weighs 30 pounds heavier than Logan.
Logan Paul is also expected to take part in WWE's WrestleMania 41 in April, calling into question whether he could promote the event while also preparing for a boxing match.
As it stands now, it seems there will be some sort of event featuring the Paul brothers on March 27 that will stream on Max. But there are quite a few hints that it isn't going to be a boxing match, as everyone hoped.
