It is a no-brainer that the Paul brothers, Logan and Jake, have been the most talked person in the sport of boxing since the pandemic started and when boxing is tremendously falling.
The YouTubers who fought other non-boxers, retired combat legends, and recently Floyd Mayweather earned their respect from one legend, Oscar De la Hoya.
The Paul brothers have a significant impact on saving the ratings of the sport despite many people mocking them because they are not professionals.
“I think Jake and Logan Paul are great for boxing overall,” De La Hoya said in an ABC7 interview.
“In boxing, we are always questioning why is it going down or why are the ratings so low, or why are there not more world title fights and why is it the fanbase diminishing.”
“It’s not really on the face of it, but when you have stars like Jake and Logan Paul bringing a whole new fanbase to boxing, I embrace it one-thousand percent.
“Now kids are coming up to me in the street because of them, now they know who Oscar De La Hoya is, and Manny Pacquiao is as these YouTubers are bringing kids into the sport through their platform and social media.
“So I embrace it always, definitely yes.”
