Key Facts
The event between the two brothers will be streamed on Max on March 27, according to teaser posts made by both entertainers that said the event is “The moment you’ve waited a decade for.”
The posts show the Paul brothers facing off against each other in an image indicative of a fight promotion poster, with both influencers shirtless and Jake sporting diamond-studded brass knuckles hanging from a chain.
Further details about the event are scarce, as it remains unclear where it will take place or what kind of competition the brothers will presumably be engaged in.
If the event turns out to be a boxing match, Jake will have the advantage of experience on his side, as the influencer and boxer has notched 11 wins since he started fighting in 2020—his most recent coming against 58-year-old boxing legend Mike Tyson in a bout streamed on Netflix.
Logan has boxed four times in the same period of time (three in professional matchups), securing just one win against MMA fighter Dillon Danis in 2023 (he has not fought since).
Max did not immediately respond to Forbes’ request for comment.

What We Don’t Know
It is not clear what exactly the event will involve, as the Paul brothers and Max have not explicitly said what will take place. A boxing match would make the most sense, as both influencers have experience promoting and fighting in several boxing cards. An MMA match could be possible, as critics of Jake have pushed him to take a fight in the sport after claiming in 2023 he would make his MMA debut that year or in 2024. It is also possible the event involving the two brothers, who have developed reputations as jokers and pranksters outside of their combat and business ventures, could have nothing to do with combat, as Jake already has an active boxing career while Logan has spent time wrestling in the WWE since 2022.
Forbes Valuation
We estimate Jake made $13.6 million in the year ended Oct. 2024, while Logan made $9.8 million in that same period. Both influencers are involved in multiple business ventures, with Logan co-founding the Prime drink brand and Jake launching startups including Betr, a betting app.
Tale Of The Tape
Logan, 29, is billed in the WWE as 205 lbs and 6 feet 2 inches tall. He has a reach of 76 inches. Jake, 28, is 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighed in at 227 pounds for his fight against Tyson. He also has a 76-inch reach. If the brothers engage in a boxing bout, their fight-day weights are subject to change based on what weight class is agreed to.
What Is Jake Paul’s Boxing Record?
Jake is 11-1, with seven of his wins coming by knockout. His lone defeat was a split-decision loss to boxer Tommy Fury, the half-brother of boxing titan Tyson Fury.
What Is Logan Paul’s Boxing Record?
Logan is 1-1-1, with the draw and loss coming from his two fights with business partner and fellow influencer KSI, also known as Olajide Olayinka Williams “JJ” Olatunji. Logan also fought in an exhibition bout against Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2021. The fight did not impact either fighters’ record, though ESPN unofficially scored the bout 78-74 for Mayweather.
Key Background
The event will mark the latest live event headlined by the Paul brothers, who have used their careers in entertainment to make a jump into combat sports. Jake has been the most active fighter of the two, fighting with some of the most recognizable names in combat sports (e.g. Tyson, Anderson Silva, Tyron Woodley). His November bout against Tyson appeared to be his crowning achievement in terms of fight promotion, as Netflix’s first live sporting event peaked at 65 million concurrent streams, though it experienced a litany of technical issues including buffering and log on issues for viewers.
