Logan Paul offered to bet his entire PRIME equity on his younger brother Jake Paul in the lead up to 'The Problem Child's boxing match against Tommy Fury on February 26.

The WWE superstar followed up on his wager with a generic callout after the younger Paul suffered his first boxing loss against Fury in Saudi Arabia.

Former UFC middleweight champ Chris Weidman has an interesting proposition for 'The Maverick'. Weidman suggested that Logan Paul should split up his PRIME (The official sports drink of the UFC) equity amongst all the active UFC fighters, a move that his younger brother Jake should ideally approve of being a champion of fighter pay rise.

After responding to Paul on Twitter, Weidman reiterated his thoughts on the MMA on SiriusXM podcast:

"After the fight, I just saw recently on Twitter and I ended up responding and he goes, 'Okay, who wants it?' I'm sure he's just messing around but either way, you know what, I know his brother Jake Paul who's all about MMA fighters being taken care of, would approve this. I said, 'You know what, take your equity and give it to all the UFC fighters. Have them split it all up."

The former champion noted that the UFC initially banned fighters from representing their personal sponsors, starting with the Reebok deal in 2014. While the reason behind the ban was to make the sport look more professional, more and more sponsors have recently found their way onto the fighters' apparel and the octagon.


Tyson Fury wants Tommy Fury to rematch with Jake Paul before fighting Logan Paul

After two canceled outings that significantly damaged his reputation as a Fury, Tommy showed up in style when he finally did. It was undoubtedly the biggest night of his career as 'TNT' handed Jake Paul his first loss with the likes of Christiano Ronaldo, Mike Tyson, and Deontay Wilder in attendance.

Fury's half-brother, heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury, now wants 'TNT' to rematch with 'The Problem Child' before taking on his older brother Logan Paul. 'The Gypsy' King' said in the aftermath of the fight:

"Tommy will be headlining now forever. I'd like to see him fight a rematch with Jake Paul and fight Logan, his brother. He [Tommy] did a fantastic job. The world media, the world's biggest stars, came to see it. It was fantastic."

Tyson Fury lost over $100,000 on a wager despite his brother winning the fight.
