Jake and Logan Paul are two of the most polarizing figures in the sport of boxing. While some fans thought that they have taken the attention away from other boxers, others claim they are the reason that the sport has seen an increase in popularity since their arrival. However, it is very hard to deny the impact that the Paul brothers have had on the sport.

And now it seems that media promotion Showtime’s president Stephen Espinoza has ‘documented proof’ showing the influence of the Paul Brothers in sports.

“I think that we’ve been really great for Jake’s brand and gave him some credibility and production value.He bought in another group of new fans which probably weren’t paying a lot of attention to sports before, so I think it’s a win-win.” He said.

Espinoza also added that his company conducted polls and found that there is a greater interest in the demographic to which the Paul brother carter. He said, “In a lot of other polls and some of our own internal data, there is a greater interest in certain demographics, you know. Particularly 18 to 29. Those were the demographics which were interested in sports. We’ve just seen a big spike, so whether it’s Jake or Logan or the two of them or you know. Generally, I think it’s more of the entire influencer interest.”

Moreover, he also defended The Problem Child and claimed that he had ‘documented proof’, showing that Paul was a major part in boxing’s popularity. “I mean, it is undeniable at this point. So people say like you know that Jake isn’t contributing anything to the sport that’s absolutely false. I mean, he is clearly supporting other fighters like Amanda Serrano and now we have documented proof that very likely he’s a major driver toward you know some of the increased interest in the sport.”

What’s next for Jake and Logan Paul

The Paul brothers have rose to fame in a very similar fashion, however they are seemingly moving towards different paths in their careers. Logan is yet to show any signs of returning to the boxing ring and is more focused on his 99 originals project and Impaulsive podcast.

Jake, on the other hand, was set to make his return to boxing against Tommy Fury in August, but the possibility of that fight happening seems unlikely due to Fury’s inability to get a visa to the US.
