00:00Logan vs. KSI2 angers fans and media. Plus, is Kavos going to fight I'm Alex soon?
00:08Hey guys, it's Ali for Hollywood Life with your YouTube roundup, starting with my new
00:14bestie, Charlie Puth, because we talked about David Dobrik yesterday at Elle Women & Music.
00:19And you did a video with David Dobrik recently, too.
00:21Yeah, that's my guy. I hung out with him the other day. He's funny.
00:25He is funny. I really like him. Yeah, he takes such command with his camera. I really love
00:30that. And as a former YouTuber myself, I used to actually hold the camera myself and make
00:35the videos, but it's pretty cool seeing him.
00:38But okay, that's all we got for YouTube. Moving on to your boxing roundup now. Get used to
00:43it, guys. Starting with Kavos, because apparently a fight between him and I'm Alex has been fully
00:47set up. Kavos tweeted, I have been presented the opportunity to fight I'm Alex at the event,
00:53and money has been offered. Only thing we need is Alex to agree. Don't even need to speak
00:57to me. Contact Christian if you're interested. Who would want to see this?
01:02And how did Alex respond? Well, he didn't. Instead, he tweeted about someone grabbing his
01:06crotch outside a pub. Moving on to Eddie Hearn, because the internet is currently split regarding
01:11the promoter's recent statement. Take a listen.
01:13No, no, this is a real fight. On the undercard, we want world championship boxing. We don't
01:19want other YouTubers and celebrities. No, this is a chance for boxing to bring in new
01:24fans. And if we're going to bring them in, we need to show them the greatness of our sport.
01:28So that's the reason behind that.
01:30Keemstar reacted to Eddie on Twitter and said, this is not right. Why should we promote and
01:35support you if you won't put any of our guys in the ring? That's BS.
01:38Meanwhile, plenty of users flooded Keem's thread with replies that explained how understandable
01:43Eddie's stance is. This is a professional event now. Logan and KSI trained hard to reach
01:48this level and adding random YouTubers like Kavos and I'm Alex who haven't been training
01:53would bring down the legitimacy of the event as a whole. This was a YouTuber event last
01:57year, but it's evolved and that's okay. Logan, Paul, and KSI have both said this is what
02:02they wanted and they're beyond thrilled to be considered pro fighters. But not many people
02:06feel that way with users in the bread batch comment section slamming Eddie and voicing
02:11the other side of the argument saying, smart guy, but not many kids are going to care about
02:15the undercard if they have no attachment to the fighters like they do with the YouTubers.
02:20But professional or not, it's still not sitting well with the boxing media.
02:24Steve Booncy said, in part, I had no trouble pushing Paul versus KSI when it was a fun fight.
02:29I loved that it did great numbers. It's trickier now that they're in my business, a business
02:34of honorable and hardened professional boxers. There should be no shortcuts, not for boxers,
02:40promoters, or managers. In the end, I'll leave you with this reaction from Ryan Garcia.
02:44The undefeated pro tweeted, is some of you mad about the Logan Paul versus KSI fight that
02:49don't understand no matter what they will bring a new set of eyeballs to boxing? And if just
02:5410% say boxing fans, then that benefits boxing tremendously. But all right, guys, hit the sub,
03:00like, and bell button. Stick with us for all the latest and follow me on social media
03:03at Allie Stegnita. Bye, guys.
