Paul and his brother Jake have a knack for spotting business opportunities and creating buzz. This time, Logan mentioned Lionel Messi, the Argentine soccer star who's grabbing headlines in the MLS and worldwide.
The drama started when Messi criticized Paul's hydration drink PRIME, saying it was too similar to his own 'Mas+' brand. Paul responded by challenging Messi to a boxing match. Messi didn't bite, but his bodyguard Yassine Cheuko, a former SEAL, stepped up to the plate.
Instead of accepting, Paul dodged the challenge. He explained his decision on the RAW Recap program:
"I have dedicated my life to becoming a WWE Superstar. I have no other opportunities. I was offered $15 million to fight Messi's bodyguard... Super appetizing, super cool, but I'm a WWE Superstar. I have a mission right now, and while all those quirky side things work for others, I'm dedicating my life to this. I turned that down and I'm going to give it my best, and I'm available. So Triple H, Nick Khan, book me. I'm available"
Cheuko isn't letting Paul off the hook easily. He's still teasing the WWE star on social media. Fans are jumping on the bandwagon too, making chicken sounds and saying Paul got scared.
Whether it's true dedication to WWE or a clever dodge, Paul's decision has certainly got people talking. It's just another day in the wild world of celebrity boxing challenges.
