Although Punk was aware that the match would offer big money, he said, “My definition of big money and everybody else’s definition is completely different.” Punk’s response reflects a lack of concern for the YouTube star who was just venturing into the combat sports industry. It also suggests that while the match payment might be substantial for many individuals, it held less significance for CM Punk at that time as he was employed by Fox.

A lot has changed for both superstars since then as they are both working for WWE. While Punk made his first wrestling appearance in the Royal Rumble since his return, Logan Paul fought his first match since winning the US title.
