Ever since the announcement of Logan Paul vs. Dillon Danis’ fight, Dillon has pulled all the stops to promote the duel. He trolled Logan’s fiance, Nina Agdal, posted derogatory pictures of her, made comments about her sexual history and whatnot. His actions even landed him in a very serious lawsuit against Nina. However, Dillon did not stop! He kept promoting the fight day and night, to the point that it is the most talked about event, even eclipsing the main event- KSI vs Tommy Fury.

Despite all this effort, what did Dillon get, a reserved replacement fighter in case he doesn’t show up? At this point, fans can’t even imagine the fight with Dillon Danis in it. Dillon, in fact, is the driving force behind the fight’s popularity. So, during a recent interview with Seconds Out, Dillon goes on a rant, condemning Logan for having a replacement fighter.

When speaking to Radio Rahim from Seconds Out, Dillon began by claiming Mike Perry, the replacement fighter, can’t pull the same PPV numbers as him. “ They’re worried because no one’s going to buy their pay-per-view of Mike Perry,” Danis told Rahim. Dillon boldly announced that he was the one who sold the fight. “Everybody wants to see me in there,” said Dillon.

Dillon then went on to explain that there are only two things that are attracting people to his fight. “Either they want to see me get knocked out, or they want to see me knock him [Logan] out,” Dillon told Seconds Out. Later in the interview, Dillon explained the importance of the fight for him. “This one has a storyline I like, a buildup into a fight – that’s what makes it exciting, that’s why people are so excited,” Dillon said in the interview.
