The embodiment of power is in the accumulation of wealth. As seen, wealth is determined by the accumulation of commodities or means of production.

In this sense, Logan Paul, 27, easily recognized on social media, co-founder of Prime Hydration, and with over twenty million subscribers on YouTube, reflects both power and influence. Not to be derogatory, but if “fighting” is for the “working class”, then Logan Paul does not need to get back in the ring. Here’s why.

In modern society, success is measured by the pileup of wealth. Being a wealthy individual, Paul is, if not for publicity and exposure, for what else does he need to fight?

Logan Paul answers, “I want to win. I want one win.”
