Nobody ever try and tell me that
@Sidemen
and the team aren’t thoughtful and caring.
Arrived at Upload HQ today to a beautifully worded sympathy card from them. 😢
#SaintsFC
Proudest part of yesterday was the hundreds of creators that spent their own money and time to travel out to LA to support JJ.
The UK scene is the best and most loyal in the world. Nowhere else comes close. FACT
Got engaged to my girlfriend this week!
Thought we’d stay in the Beverly Hills Hotel as a treat. Everyone’s so well dressed here... apart from me who’s turned up for breakfast wearing swim shorts, football top and flip flops.
Keeping it Benidorm in Beverly Hills. 😎
That is absolute bullshit
@LoganPaul
. You didn’t have any fans at the press conference because nobody likes you in London. 🤷🏻♂️
Also, all the fans that couldn’t get in certainly didn’t seem like Logan fans as they were chasing Greg down the road? 🤭
As for any form of YouTube Boxing - it’s done. Everyone stop trying to put events on.
The hype train for YouTube Boxing left the station many months ago and won’t be returning unless JJ and the Pauls cook something up one day OR someone takes it back to basics.
Sceptics might suggest that Jake pulled out of the Rahman fight & pulled Wassabi out of the KSI fight to try and ambush JJ to fight now rather than wait until after a warmup fight 👀
Maybe
@jakepaul
is scared what will happen to him in a fight against a KSI without ring rust…🤔
Heard that Alex is out bc of a concussion. Fucked up. This was a big opportunity for Alex. He will be back.
KSI… everything happens for a reason. I’ll come fight in your hometown. Your boxing company. You are A-Side.
I also agree to make 180 pounds for August 27.
You accept?
Jake Paul really did post a video of himself shit-talking about his own brother and their team, rather than supporting them and being there for his bro.😬
I've never seen a case of 'little brother syndrome' quite like it.😫
Well
@jakepaul
has been dodging Danis for years... it's a big test for
@KSI
and a step up from any of Jakes opponents, but JJ never loses.
Excited to see the full card.
@Liamvlassenbro1
@Sidemen
Correct, and robbing the VIP suites of all the Prime, and running around outside trying to break in causing the stadium to lock down.
Actually,
@TrueGeordieTG
was offered a fee for hosting the press conference and refused it. It's not about the money for him, which has to be applauded. 👏👏👏
@StuartJones7
Geordie hasn't been paid anything. But u pay likes of michael buffer who has nothing to do with youtube community. Geordie wanted to do gloves off and he would've have been a perfect choiche because he knows about youtube stuff. Geordie deserves better
This photo was taken in LA, ironically on the same day as the
@Sidemen
agreed to let me represent them back in 2015
I’m not quite sure what’s the story behind this picture
@Tobjizzle
😅
I could go to my Doctor today and say I banged my head and now have a headache and feel a bit dizzy.
My Doctor would diagnose me with concussion and write me a sick note.
There are no scans that can detect if I really do have concussion.
I am sure
@AlexWassabi
knows this.👀
Just watched back the
@KingKennyTv
fight.
Had Kenny winning 39-38
1: 10-10
2: 10-9
3: 9-10
4: 10-9
A draw wouldn’t have been outrageous but Sensei didn’t win.
Thanks
Quick bit of analysis. Gibber wasn’t hurt by any of Jakes punches. His legs went with the nerves and so did his balance, which brought the 3 knockdown rule in.
Jake didn’t throw a single knockout punch.
When KSI V Jake fight happens, as soon as that fight or the rematch is over, so is Influencer Boxing.
Be careful what you wish for.
Influencer boxing is not a viable business model. It’s a trend waiting for the final chapter ( KSI v Jake )
So bloody honoured that
@Sidemen
continue to trust me and our amazing
@UploadAgency
team with their events.
Huge shout to
@ArcadeMedia_
as well.
What a day. 👏 👏 👏
🤦🏻♂️
This is boxing, not WWE... no need for the cringey pretend pantomime.
The offer is 50/50, it’s always been 50/50 - infact if your team genuinely believe in your hype, it’s in your favour.
Found the special Maverick pen yet? 🖊
YouTube Boxing is done. Honestly, unless someone has the bollocks and patience to take it back to basics and grow an event brand organically.
People can't keep jumping in with these high production events, in national arenas, with huge fighter fees and expect to turn a profit.
BBC One Viewing Figures for The Wheel: 5.5m viewers.
Sidemen Viewing Figures for The Wheel: 13.2m viewers.
Yet you wouldn't believe the work that has to go in to convincing commissioners that they NEED YouTubers.
Kids shouldn’t be allowed to have bumpers up in the bowling alley. I’ve just been beaten by a 4 year old. I don’t care what you say, it’s cheating. Play tenpin bowling properly or don’t play at all, regardless of your age,
Don’t @ me. 😡
When you think how many flop YouTuber events there has been over the years ( and many more flops to come in the future ) it makes it even more mind blowing that
@Sidemen
have sold 62,000 tickets in just 90 minutes. 🤯
Cannot wait for this one! The 10th event we’ve worked on. 💥
*How to make a YouTuber event successful in the UK*
1) Make sure KSI, Sidemen or Beta Squad are heading it.
If you can’t complete point 1, don’t waste your money trying to build an event… it will become an expensive mistake.
Leeds has a population of 800,000 and is a one-club city, yet only has an average attendance of 35,989
This means just 4% of their population go and watch
#LUFC
, making Leeds one of the worst supported clubs in England
Leeds are a small community family club.
#SaintsFC
No guestlist entry for
@Sidemen
v YouTube Allstars and I couldn't be happier. 😍
No ticket = No entry.
Also = no blagging people at the door, no stories of a long lost friendship with a YouTuber who promised them one day they could see them play etc
🙌
Also, respect to
@LoganPaul
for reaching out to
@TrueGeordieTG
to discuss their differences man to man and draw a line for the sake of the show. 👏
Let’s Get Ready to Rumble 🥊
#KSIvLogan
Yes
@AnEsonGib
, one of the nicest blokes from the UK scene is going to spark out one of the biggest shithouses from the American scene. 👏👏👏
Merry Christmas everyone. 🎄
So the way I see it, Jake and Logan fans are happy to have naf merchandise rammed down their throat 34 times a day in Vlogs, but don’t want to pay £6 to watch a fight which is costing hundreds of thousands of pounds to put on?
OK, glad we got that cleared up. 😬
When
@KSI
and
@joe_weller_
wanted to have a scrap, we built a beautiful event that respected boxing as a sport with only genuine beef and nothing staged.
What have the American YouTube scene done to YouTuber boxing since?... 🤦🏻♂️
So...
@LoganPaul
’s team had me in multiple meetings in LA and calls on the phone asking me what i thought would be the next step to take in YouTuber events and pushing me to be involved... “Challenger League” is what I told them.
You’re welcome lads... 🤔
2021 - TV Industry still thinks it’s king and online creators are second best.
Reality - Sidemen Sunday would top the TV viewing figures most weekends and at least 100 UK YouTubers would make it in to the BBC Top 5 earners list.
Wakey wakey 😴
The licence for football matches at the London Stadium is 62,500
West Ham’s attendance record is 62,449
Trying to make sure they have given us at least 62,450 tickets just so West Ham’s record attendance can be “a bunch of YouTubers” 🙏😂
Watch
@KSIOlajidebt
launch a brutal upper cut straight through Logan’s guard tonight and then
@TheCannonBriggs
throwing the towel in to save him from further humiliation.
Beautiful. 😍
Yes, it is true. We would love
@TrueGeordieTG
to commentate on the fight. Unfortunately it's a 50/50 contract which gives Team Paul approval on any decisions that are made around the event, including the presenting team.
Today will forever be known and National Gib Day.
@jakepaul
's head has gone. He's not going to be able to control his emotions or his ego in the ring and is going to walk straight in to
@AnEsonGib
's punches.
Best excuse for non-payment of invoice from a UK agency representing a UK brand has just come in.
" We can't pay you yet due to cash flow issues caused by coronovirus "
You can't catch a virus from a computer ****** ( If they haven't paid in 2 weeks, i'll un-censor the name )
The thing I’m most looking forward to when I’m back in England is not having to tip someone for literally everything as you have to do in America.
Tip a good hair cut. Round the taxi fare up to the nearest £1. That’s it.
God Save The Queen 🇬🇧
Next weeks Sidemen FC match will be the biggest and best 'YouTuber Event' ever held, anywhere in the world.... bar none.
@Sidemen
taking it to new levels yet again. 🙌
Never underestimate just how much
@KSI
does for this industry by constantly raising the bar and how many people, including me, have benefited from his hard work over the years. 👑 👏👏👏
Right, creators.
Who has an ex-girlfriend that they would be ok meeting up with and having dinner with, all in the name of television?
100% Serious ( paid ) request... 🥰
Just to clear one thing up.
@KSI
v Jake does more than double what
@jakepaul
v Fury 2 would do and treble what Jake v Mayweather would do.
To suggest a Fury rematch would get even more PPV is so wrong, the questions have been answered and PPV numbers would be half next time.
@piersmorgan
It's people like you panicking the shit out of people and causing them to panic buy and make the elderly even more vulnerable.
Nobody is complacent, everyone knows what it is and how devastating it is. Pipe down and stop being such a snowflake. Leave it to the experts.
Don’t underestimate the influence
@mikemajlak
has had on Logan in the last few years. We’ve had our disagreements but he’s been a proper friend and wingman to Logan. Jake needs someone like that around him rather than the leeches who are only using Jake for their own good.
One of my proudest moments was when I secured a sponsorship for the YouTube Allstars that meant
@Calfreezy
,
@chrismd10
etc had to wear a shirt with Mummy as the sponsor.
HMRC owe me £37,000 and are 9 months overdue and still haven’t paid it back and there’s nothing I can do about it.
I owe HMRC £51 and I’ve got debt collectors phoning me daily and threatening me with court.
Make it make sense. 😂😭
So... YouTuber boxing story has come to an end in my opinion. What events or productions would people like to see in 2020?
Already have a few plans but interested to see what people think will be the next trend?
The demand for the Sidemen charity match this year is insane. We could have sold 60,000+ tickets today.
Please be patient… the ticket system is struggling with the amount of people queuing for tickets. It’s being worked on. 🙏
The best Christmas gift anyone could wish for. My incredible wife
@RachelKiwi7
gave birth to our son at 2:11am this morning.
Our Christmas baby. 🥰 Both are doing great.
Will have to save the Turkey for tomorrow.
Merry Christmas everyone. 🎅
I've just stolen one of
@Calfreezy
's Krox hoodies that are made and ready to go on sale next weekend. They are bloody lovely, if I do say so myself. 😍
Yes
@AnEsonGib
!
When
@AustinMcbroom
wakes up he’s got to try and process the fact his event flopped, he got sparked out and he has $1m+ to pay out for the privilege out of his own pocket. 😂
By coincidence, it’s 6 years ago today since tickets went on sale for our first “YouTuber Event” back in 2016 - the first ever Sidemen FC v YouTube Allstars
About time we did another YouTuber event in 2022 I think… 👀
Managed to keep hold of a piece of Influencer Boxing history.
The Round 1 board from the first ever public YouTuber boxing event,
@KSI
v
@joe_weller_
. 🥰
A lot has happened since we put on the show that evening. 👏
Whilst it still baffles me why ITV don't pay big money to get Tier 1 YouTubers in the jungle, getting Matt Hancock in the jungle was a genius move by the producers. 👏
Almost back home to Southampton via a quick stop in Nando’s.
Proud of
@ComedyGamer
and felt
@KSIOlajidebt
won by at least a round.
We go again in early 2019... 🥊
#KSIvsLogan
First Class return ( need to work on train ) from Southampton to Manchester = £632
I can literally go to Spain on an all inclusive holiday for a week, for less than a return ticket to Manchester...
What a world we live in. 🤣🤣
Kingpyn is a great concept as a one-off series of events but it does shorten the life of crossover boxing.
Too many questions being answered on who is best etc in such a compressed time period doesn’t do the scene any favours if it’s to become sustainable long-term.
Also, this shows the power of
@KSI
A stacked Kingpyn event and they are likely to sell only a couple of thousand tickets, whereas JJ can sell 20,000 tickets on his own. 👑
Looking like Wembley Arena will be less than half full for the Kingpyn event.
Unless JJ is fighting, I don't understand why promoters book the big arenas for influencer boxing. The Copper Box is ideal for events like this and much much cheaper than the O2 or Wembley.
@joe_weller_
@jakepaul
@KSI
Needs to be on a much bigger setting, with much bigger financials etc - broadcast contracts will have been signed long ago for August 27th.
Would be such a waste to shoehorn it in to fight this month.
Watching
#SoccerAid19
is making me miss there not being a
#SidemenFC
game this year. 😭
I like the idea of an indoor football tournament though. A Youtuber version of Sky Masters. 🤔
**NOTICE** The match today is a complete sell-out. There are NO spare tickets.
For any industry/creators who are looking to attend but don’t yet have a ticket, unfortunately you’re too late.
There is NO guest list.
No ticket = no entry.
See everyone else soon! ⚽️
