Published 04/16/2021, 1:50 AM EDT

Jake Paul and Logan Paul are two of the most famous brothers in the world. The American social media stars have gained global fame thanks to their content creation and their many controversies. As they now try their hand at boxing, let’s look at how the brothers have changed the sport.

Jake Paul will face Ben Askren as the main event on Saturday, while his older brother, Logan Paul, will face boxing legend Floyd Mayweather later in the year. However, this is something that no one would have predicted a few months ago.

As a result, the Paul brothers have shown a different way to get the money fights in the sport. While many boxers work for years on end to challenge a champion, the American internet sensations have landed big-money fights purely on the back of their fame outside the sport. This will encourage more boxers to build up their social media presence. Something similar to the likes of Ryan Garcia.

Another aspect that the Paul brothers have changed is the trash-talk in the sport.

Despite being called ambitious at first, the two brothers have stuck to their eccentric behavior, and it has paid off. Logan Paul got his wish with a bout against Mayweather, while the entire boxing community is talking about the 2-0 boxer’s next fight because of all the trash-talking.

They first rose to fame on Vine as they helped each other make videos. However, they transitioned to YouTube and constantly featured in each other’s virtual offerings. Thus, it is easy to see why many have confused the brothers to be twins.
