Untold: Jake Paul the Problem Child (2023) Movie Script
Good morning, Jake Paulers!
Wow, we have come a long way.
It's still every day, bro.
But today is the biggest day of my life.
Today is the biggest moment of my life,
and I'm putting it all on the line
against one of the greatest
combat strikers
right here in this ring tonight.
See you soon.
Fire.
- Pow!
- One-take Jake.
If you're new, my name's Jake Paul.
Welcome back to the channel.
Brian. Brian. Brian!
- Let's get it, baby. Lock and load.
- You made him cry.
It's our motherfucking show.
It's our house. Let's go.
- In for a real fight.
- He's shitting his pants.
- You're fucking ready.
- We ain't going nowhere.
Crazy.
- You all right?
- Yeah, I'm good.
You sure?
- I'm good. I'm good.
- I'm in!
Oh Jesus Christ.
It was trouble, man.
You've always been my little brother.
Doesn't feel like that anymore.
Not only are you not so little now,
but you've expanded your mind,
your circle, your emotional intelligence,
and, somehow, your capabilities.
From making silly home videos
before YouTube even existed
to changing the entire landscape
of combat sports,
everyone in this room knows
just how powerful of a being you are.
It's why we're all here,
including Netflix.
You make it incredibly easy
to be a proud brother.
And one day, if I run for president,
I'd be honored to have you
as my vice president...
...or maybe secretary of defense.
You'll be in charge of the red button,
the all-powerful nuke
that also happens to be
at the end of your right hand.
While this moment
is so much bigger than we can imagine,
I promise tonight will be
just another blip on your radar of life.
You've done all the hard work, bro.
Go do what you do best.
- Let's fucking go.
- Let's fucking go, baby!
Let's go.
- Love you, bruh.
- I love you, bro.
- Love you, man. So proud of you.
- Let's go.
- You're killing it, dude.
- Who ray?
We ray!
Tick! Tick! Tick!
Boom! Let's go!
And now,
making his way to the ring,
here is the popular
social media sensation turned boxer,
the Problem Child...
...Jake Paul!
Jake is gonna get
knocked the fuck out tonight.
You ain't shit.
Fuck Jake Paul!
Fuck Jake Paul!
Jake Paul is a fucking idiot.
You fucking bitch.
I will fucking kick your ass.
He's just an absolute bellend.
- Obnoxious, arrogant asshole.
- I can't stand this man.
Fuck Jake Paul!
Jake Paul, the most hated YouTuber
on the planet.
It's nearly that time, Jake.
I'm gonna do a countdown of ten,
and then you're gonna see it,
you're gonna feel it,
you're gonna celebrate it.
In ten.
Nine.
Eight.
Seven.
Six.
Five. Four.
Three. Two. One.
Stranger's arms
Reach out to me
'Cause they know
I'm so lonely
Then my mind
Goes back to you
And your sweet love
Sees me through
I gotta tuck my balls away.
Is this gonna be the style
where you show the slate closing
and then, like,
the person's reactions after it?
- It's good when you see people, like...
- Yeah, exactly.
Jake Paul is a promoter.
Y'all got fooled into thinking
he's a boxer.
I'm Jake Paul.
I used to be a landscaper,
and now I'm a seashell collector
and professional boxer,
knocking people the fuck out.
Ow, my leg.
My hamstrings
are cramped up.
Do you need a Prime?
I just had one, man.
Tell Logan that shit doesn't work.
We're fucking media whores
who... who make content on phones,
edit on iMovie, post 'em to the Internet,
and get people talking.
Jake Paul
is a totally different thing for boxing.
He's half boxer,
half entertainer, YouTuber.
Jake has built this hype train
on "I'm fuckin' next up."
Potentially the best boxer
of this generation.
I'm 24. I could take over the world.
I could become the next Muhammad Ali.
What the fuck you talkin' about?
You're not fucking Muhammad Ali.
What are you gonna do
when Jake Paul knocks you the fuck out,
you fucking pussy?
Many have accused Jake Paul
of "being a clown
whose boxing turn is just another stunt."
I think people love to talk shit
about my boxing ability.
Jake Paul isn't a boxer.
This guy's a fucking YouTube kid.
I don't believe you'll ever get close
to being a world-class fighter.
I believe that I will beat
anybody on your roster.
Of course, he's delusional.
You know, like, we all are.
It's why we are where we are.
Until it becomes a reality.
So, yeah, he's delusional,
but that's the beauty of Jake Paul.
The Problem Child is in the building!
What? A YouTuber fighting?
All right, this is ridiculous.
The biggest question was,
"Is this just, like, a gimmick?"
I'm sure a lot of boxing purists
right now are like,
"Oh, you're having Jake Paul on."
"You're lending legitimacy
to what's going on."
The old guard boxing community
had been very reluctant to warm up.
Social media
has confused the whole world.
People think,
"Oh, he must be able to do it
'cause millions of people think he can."
I'm a real dog. I just became
the biggest prizefighter overnight.
Jake Paul!
Jake Paul!
But boxing can be very dangerous.
Very dangerous.
Jake Paul is that good of a promoter,
he's twisted people's ears,
turned people's heads,
and some people actually believe
he can be a professional boxer.
Will you finally accept
that you're a celebrity boxer
and not a real boxer?
Next question, brother.
He can go back
and be king of the jungle in YouTube,
but can he actually be
a professional boxer? No.
YouTube?!
Is... Is that you?
Oh my God!
It's been so long.
But, uh, we got good news, guys.
We're coming back.
Jake, what do you think of that?
Man! The hype is real, man!
We are two kids from Ohio,
make no mistake, who grew up in a tree.
From the earliest days
I can remember,
it's us, you know,
playing in the woods together,
making forts, building fires.
We were just always there for each other.
They go to the same places.
They get there very different ways.
I operate
with logic and rationality.
Jake operates with emotion.
We're yin and yang. We are the exact same
and the exact fucking opposite.
They both were interested
in wrestling and football.
That was my identity. Sports
and athleticism and competitiveness.
We were a team,
and our parents were really strict.
Mainly my dad.
And it was always Logan and I against him.
Holy shit.
Yo, Greg Paul is a fuckin' being.
He's a menace.
Man, that guy's intense.
People would be like,
"You're so strict with your kids."
"Okay, give me your kid for two weeks,
and when your kid comes back,
they'll be a better kid."
He always said,
"Life's not easy. Life's not fair."
"No one will pick you up
when you're down."
- Welcome to life. Get the fuck over it.
- Jake may throw around the word "abusive."
I prefer "not quite legal."
Yeah, my... my dad would
slap the shit out of me.
I don't resent it.
I'm understanding of why he did that.
That's all he knew.
I never laid hands on my kids.
I said, "Jake, I did pick you up
and throw you on a couch a couple times."
"But I was afraid of you."
"That's what the fuck
dads are supposed to do."
If somebody comes in here,
starts harassing everybody
and smacking around an old lady,
do you want
a couple Greg Pauls in the room?
Or do you want some fuckin' fairy f,
whiny-ass little bitch
who's gonna sit there
and talk about emotions?
Who do you want in the room?
Personally, I attribute pretty much
all of my success to my father.
He was so hard and so tough on us
that my brother and I's imagination
really started to flare up.
So one day, we get a camera,
and we just start filming our lives.
Duh-duh. Duh!
Oh, good! Yeah, baby!
Jake, you need to do the dishes.
Oh no, I can't do that.
No, I'm not doing that.
This was the start of comedy skits online
and viral videos.
I was born in the dark.
We start watching YouTube videos.
We're bored. We're recreating them.
We're directing. We're filming.
We're creating comedy.
The Sneeze.
- Achoo!
- What are you doing?
They would get, like,
a thousand views, which was a lot.
You know, there's a thousand people
in your high school.
We were just becoming popular.
What are you doing?
You can't cut down the...
Lean forward more.
You actually care about the forest.
Logan was definitely
leading everything.
He was, like, the captain
of the two-man team
and had the final say.
You know, I wanted to be like him
and make him proud, I guess.
I wanted him to be like,
"I have a cool little brother."
Logan!
Come on! Stay with us.
Logan, it's Christmastime. It's Christmas!
At first, it was just for fun.
Okay, we need to go harder, we need
to start putting money into these videos.
We need to start getting props.
We need to get actors.
We need to build it up and create
the best videos on Vine possible.
That was our goal.
It's just one muffin. Why not?
Guess it's time to go workout now.
I was used to landscaping
for ten dollars an hour,
and I remember the first brand deal I did.
I got paid $200,
and I was like, "Oh my gosh, I'm rich."
They're like, "We have another brand deal.
That one did well. How much do you want?"
Me and my dad were on the phone like...
"How much do you want?"
"I don't know. Like... 5,000."
They were like, "Okay, we could do that."
And we were like, "What the fuck?!"
"Five thousand dollars!
Like, Jesus Christ!"
Cash. Money.
Okay, if we have 200,000 followers,
and we're making $5,000 a post,
what happens when we get to a million?
Or two million?
I remember when they made
the word "influencer."
That was us. They were talking about us.
Argh!
Let's go!
Dropped out of high school.
Moved to Los Angeles with my brother,
who's in that room right there.
And we just
started chasing our dreams.
Yo!
Good morning, Jake Paulers.
What's poppin'?
If you're new here, I'm Jake Paul.
You guys are the Jake Paulers.
So we move to LA,
start auditioning for roles,
start collabing with some of the other
biggest YouTubers in the world.
And we all lived
in the same apartment complex.
All of us were going viral
two, three times a day.
The regular world starts to pay attention.
Traditional media starts to cover us.
- What's up? How you doin'?
- Good. How are you?
- Good to see you.
- You guys got bright lights out here.
Listen. So you're making
some history right now.
You're making some noise.
I think the way Greg raised us,
combined with Jake living in my shadow
for as long as he did,
put a fire in his belly
that is so hard to put out.
And then, boom, I get the call
to go audition for Disney Channel.
Do you think I'm gonna get the role?
Do you think I'm gonna get it?
Hey!
Let's go make some videos, hey!
You could watch Dirk doing crazy dares
- Saying, "Here we go"
- Here we go!
He'll do anything you want
Just don't try this at home
He got the role.
Dirk? I... I'm such a big fan.
Sweet.
Two Vine kids from Ohio...
...just moved to LA
to see what we could do in media...
...got a starring role
in a major Disney show.
And so it really blew me up,
took me to another level,
and legitimized my whole purpose.
I... It gave credibility
to what it was that I was trying to do.
Three years ago,
I was a... a class clown,
getting laughed at
by teachers and classmates.
All it is is hard work and passion.
Yo, guys.
I love you.
You guys are amazing. You changed my life.
Here he is. The man,
the social media and YouTube sensation.
Fourteen million subscribers.
It's an honor and a responsibility.
He was going 100 miles an hour.
More tail than you can shake a stick at.
Girls just throwing their panties at him.
Making a lot of money, spending a lot.
I mean, he bought a $7.4 million house
at 18 years old. That's crazy.
Welcome home, Jake Paulers!
We made it, Mom!
We have millions of dollars.
Hundreds of millions of people
paying attention to what we do.
- Like, I see you popping up everywhere.
- Yeah. Uh... Thank you.
- How many views do you have?
- I don't know.
You have 2 billion. I have 2.6 billion.
We have some competition.
In Los Angeles,
we were more focused on business
and making money and growing our brands,
and that became a competitive race.
What do you call your people?
- YouTube.com/LoganPaulVlogs.
- Nice.
I'm gonna be
the biggest entertainer on the planet.
Cop yourself some of the hottest merch
in the game.
Check this out! I think this
is my favorite one.
Get your merch here. Hottest merch
in the game. Link in the description.
- He's wearing my merch.
- It's a rainbow!
He's got a gap tooth.
And I wanted to prove to him
that I'm legit.
I can do this too.
And he wanted to prove to me,
"I'm the bigger brother.
I'm gonna get more followers."
Things got too competitive.
There was a point
where we hated each other.
- Like, legitimately?
- Legitimately.
Not for clout, not for clicks.
This is so fucking stupid.
We had YouTube beef.
Logan was really good
at capitalizing and saying,
"I'm the big brother.
You're in my shadow."
Logan, you're gonna wanna stop
taunting me and pushing me
and poking me and making things up.
- He's a loose cannon.
- I'm a loose nuke!
He was my only competition on YouTube,
and I was getting more views than him.
I was beating him. Make no mistake.
This is so fuckin' stupid,
but I had more subs.
I had the girl. More people
paying attention. Selling more merch.
And that's when I saw him
really do some conniving things.
"I'm bigger than you.
I'm better-looking than you."
"More creative than you.
I tell better stories."
I thought I was, like,
just a better version of Jake.
It was war, dog.
It was YouTube fuckin' war.
Now you got a few subscribers
And you think that you're the shit
I'll admit, you got money, you got bars
You got chicks, but you're redic
Help me, help you
Make a better song, bitch
Numbers don't lie
The Logang is shit
It was just crazy competition.
Hard as a mom.
What mom would like two sons
fighting against each other? No one!
Logan threw him under the bus,
messed around with his ex.
Uh-oh, that's Alissa Violet
Used to be your chick
Now she in the Logang
And you know she on my... team
Logan definitely crossed the line.
But I get it from his point of view.
I was 22 years old,
and I didn't care, at the time,
how bad I was hurting my little brother.
At the time, so much was going right,
and it was easy to throw around
these extreme emotions.
Hate. Envy. Jealousy. Just so volatile.
Then things started going wrong.
What goes up must come down.
For both of us.
We were the two biggest people on YouTube.
But we both wanted to be the biggest.
You gotta start doing crazy shit
just to get views.
Residents in a Hollywood
neighborhood are angry.
They say they've had enough of the chaos
created by a social media star
known for his crazy antics.
A recent stunt involved
tossing furniture into an empty pool
and setting the pile on fire.
It used to be a nice quiet street.
Now we're just this war zone.
- Jake, Channel Five!
- Jake, I wouldn't do that.
I wanna, um, take this time
to talk about my brother, Jake Paul,
and his recent split with Disney Channel.
Family-friendly Disney
has announced
it is splitting with the 20-year-old star.
You're in LA.
Now you have $10 million.
You think you're cool. You have fame.
You have all this pressure.
Your ego's in the way.
You're still figuring out who you are.
All of that's a recipe for disaster.
Logan Paul, the YouTube star,
who has millions of young followers
with his zany videos online,
recently, as you know, came under fire
for posting an alarming video
showing the body of a person
who took their own life.
Did we just find a dead person
in the forest, hanging?
I've...
...never been hated by the whole world.
Jake Paul's Calabasas home
has been raided by the FBI.
Two dozen feds could be seen
carrying evidence from the property,
including several firearms.
Paul was accused of sexual
assault by TikTok star Justine Paradise.
Correct me if I'm wrong,
but nothing's come from it legally...
Course not.
Of course not.
Jake Paul
receives a big thumbs down
from most of the civilized world.
He is completely unhinged.
Who the fuck is Jake Paul?
Today we are talking about
the blockhead that is Jake Paul.
It was easy to rip me apart.
It became a thing to hate Jake Paul.
Jake Paul has gotta be
the dumbest, cockiest, stupidest,
most egotistical person
in the social media sphere.
The backlash and eyeballs
and responsibility,
at 21, 22 years old,
that we had is just not
real life.
Jake is the only person
who can understand what that's like.
Logan's the only other person
that has walked a mile in my shoes.
And in those moments of peril,
Jake and I realized
that we will always be there
for each other, no matter what.
Jake was so close
to being nothing. Gone. Done.
Literally two months away
from being flat broke.
It's not easy to be hated
by the whole entire world.
It creates a very dark mental place.
I mean, both my dad and I
felt worried for my brother's life.
Jake's always been
pretty emotionally unpredictable
and volatile.
There was a point where
we were both legitimately concerned
that Jake was gonna kill himself.
He needed purpose.
No one knew what he was gonna, like, do.
What is he...
What's he good at?
This will be no contest.
This will be a total annihilation.
- Any special training?
- No special training.
Just be at the fight.
I'm ready to back up everything
I'm saying, and I'm through talking.
Boxing is a very unique sport
from a business standpoint.
It's constructed unlike any other
sports entity out there.
No different than Barnum & Bailey
going town-to-town to put on circus acts,
you have all these different promoters
going, "Give me your money
'cause I've got a special event
in this fight, in this drama,
that you only see once in your lifetime."
All I wanna do
is to present to America and the world
the best in boxing.
Combinations!
Oh, it's over!
Here's the thing,
I can't tell you just how hard it is
to get people to be emotionally invested,
to get people to care,
to buy pay-per-views and tickets.
Boxing has kinda been
on a down cycle over the last couple years
because the UFC
is beating it right now in popularity.
The pay-per-view buys recently
haven't been as big as in the past.
As of last night,
tickets were still available,
and pay-per-view numbers are way down.
And so this started to become a thing.
"Boxing is irrelevant.
Boxing hasn't been relevant for a decade."
Boxing is losing their fans.
It's in danger of becoming irrelevant.
"Boxing is dead."
The sport of boxing's dead.
Boxing is dead.
HBO Sports simply dumping boxing
after 40-plus years.
But boxing was not dead.
Boxing will never be dead,
and it certainly isn't dead now.
Okay, I think this is something
that everybody will wanna understand.
Why boxing?
These YouTuber brothers from the UK
calling out me and Logan to fight.
Jake Paul. Logan Paul.
Any of the Pauls. I don't care. Bring it.
There's a trifecta
that fuels Jake and I both.
When you combine media with passion
and business, money, we're in.
Ten days later,
there's signed contracts,
and then on the 11th day, it was,
"Let's become professional boxers."
What I learned
in the entertainment industry
directly correlates to boxing
because boxing is the show business.
First and foremost, it's a show.
A boxing promoter
puts together an attraction.
Then you construct a business deal
around that attraction
so that you can make money
for the people participating
and make some for yourself.
There have been
some unique cases
where the great boxer
with the great personality
says, "You know what?
I could cut out the promoter."
"A, I'll get more money,
and b, I got the gift of the gab."
"I got the personality.
I could be my own promoter."
That's essentially
what Jake Paul has done.
What's up. It's the Paul bros.
The pay-per-view for the official fight
is now available for purchase
on this channel.
Let's go, baby.
In the world of YouTube,
when I was the villain,
a lot of my videos would get demonetized.
Sponsors didn't really wanna mess with me
because I was controversial
and polarizing.
In the world of boxing,
being the villain is the best thing.
It's Jake Paul.
Yeah!
Hey, boo if Deji's a bitch.
Fuck Jake Paul!
Fuck Jake Paul!
Fuck Jake Paul! Fuck Jake Paul!
The best fighters
are the ones who make you feel something.
If you're being booed and people hate you,
that's a good thing.
It's better to be the bad guy, the heel.
The heel, the bad guy,
always draws more money
because people now want to pay
to see you lose.
I'm a cold motherfucker.
I'll bet anyone. Any time, any place.
I wanna eat him up!
Too much speed for him.
Too fast. Too fast!
You middle-aged Dutch woman,
ugly, Napoleon Dynamite-lookin'...
You ain't tough.
Gonna kick my arse? Gonna whoop my arse?
Fucking kiss my arse.
- Let's make it happen.
- I'm my own boss.
Two in one night. Got your hat!
You can't touch me. You not man enough.
I'll eat your asshole alive, you bitch.
What the f is up, you Irish c?
Good morning...
Turns out, we're good at it.
I'mma fuck up Deji,
Logan's gonna fuck up KSI...
- Bor-ing!
- ...then I'mma fuck up KSI.
From the United States...
...Jake Paul!
That first fight ended up being
the biggest amateur fight
in the history of the sport.
Sold more pay-per-views
than any other amateur fight in the world.
So there was a ton of pressure.
The arena lets out boos
for the American.
That was one of
the hardest moments of my life.
Being in front of the crowd.
Twenty-five thousand people
cheering against me.
Enemy territory. In the UK.
Not knowing
what I was getting myself into.
And then, the first round,
I get popped in the face hard.
My nose is gushing blood.
My legs give out.
Sensory overload.
Everything is one giant blur.
My body was shutting down.
My mind wanted to tell me to stop.
Stop. Stop. Stop.
I felt like I was dying.
And...
I fucking loved it.
Some other element of me took over.
- Animal instinct just kicked in.
- Deji is rocked.
Jake Paul's looking for the big punch
to end this.
The referee's gonna step in...
The towel has been thrown in
by Deji's corner.
And Jake Paul is your winner!
I didn't realize
how much he wanted to make me proud...
...until after
my split-decision loss to KSI.
It was... It was the weirdest thing, man.
It was, you know, a really close fight.
Weird call.
KSI ended up winning,
and I immediately
just chalked it up to the game.
Took the L on the chin. Whatever.
But it really affected Jake.
He was in the locker room crying.
I know. I love you
more than anyone in this room.
- I don't think love is all you need.
- I know.
I had wondered why.
It was because he wanted it so bad for me.
He wanted it more than I did.
He wants the absolute best for me,
as I want the absolute best for him.
I love Logan
more than anyone in this world.
And so for... for me to see him lose,
you know, i... it just sucked.
And I'm not playin' around.
I'm taking this sport
more seriously than anybody.
So stay tuned. I'm...
I'm finna get these fuckin' knockouts!
Team Paul. Join it now.
I would say, for Jake, teaming up with
Nakisa Bidarian was brilliant on his part
because Nakisa used to be
the CFO of... of the UFC.
He got a bird's-eye view
of the business of fighting.
They've been together
for several years now,
and it seems like every time,
they're just leveling up.
He's not the guy who does interviews.
Lord knows I've asked him.
He was the guy behind the scenes,
and Jake did all the front-facing stuff.
Someone told me
there's this kid who's a YouTuber,
who also wants to box.
It quickly became apparent to me
that there was a unique opportunity here
to disrupt fight sports.
Not just boxing but also MMA.
He had 45 million people
that consume his content.
So if we go and turn this into a fighter,
wow, what a competitive advantage
versus any other fighter that's out there.
From the first meeting, I said to him,
"Unless you learn the craft
and the skills of boxing,
I'm not the right person to spend time
on this path together with you."
"Because for you to achieve
what I think is possible,
you can't be a rapper and a YouTuber,
uh, and a dancer and a prankster
and a boxer."
"You gotta choose one."
And that was kinda the start
of our evolution together.
I was sick of not being respected.
I was sick of YouTube.
I was sick of the process.
I was like, "Yo, I'm done doing YouTube."
"I'm stopping uploading."
"I'm not making any more content."
The reason for moving to Puerto Rico
was this is the best place to train.
I walk outside of my house,
do a four-mile run.
No cars. No traffic signals.
Like, it's the perfect loop.
Perfect nature. Meditation. Peaceful.
And then the boxing gym
is right down the street.
And it's awesome
to live here with my brother, you know,
and to be close to him,
and perfect for boxing.
Boxing reinvigorated something
inside of me.
It made me feel alive again.
Like I had something to work for.
I think in the YouTube world,
not only was I not making progress,
I was hurting myself.
I was going the opposite way.
For the longest time,
I... I didn't like myself.
I wasn't happy.
And so when I got into something
where I could slowly
start to make progress,
it brought back happiness in my life.
And boxing gave me that again.
He definitely found something
with boxing that, I think, gave him worth,
which he hadn't, you know, making
stupid insignificant vlogs on YouTube.
In the world I was living in,
I was on top.
I was getting a bunch of views.
I knew what I was doing.
I had a big ego.
Then I step into the boxing gym,
all of that goes out the door.
Get in the ring with one of these guys,
they'll beat your ass.
It is
an incredibly humbling experience
when you get the shit kicked out of you
by some guy you never heard of,
in a spa session on Wednesday night.
But it's incredibly rewarding
to get broken down in that way.
This shit is 100%, bro.
Every camp cost a million dollars.
I don't know how he playin' with that.
He could be on a yacht with some chicks.
Turning it up.
Popping bottles in the club.
He's getting punched every day.
Right now, uh, 14 days away
from the toughest test of my career,
Tommy Fury.
This is the first time I'm fighting
a real professional boxer.
He comes from a legendary bloodline.
His dad was a professional boxer.
His brother was the former
heavyweight champion of the world.
So this fight, this is a massive risk
that most fighters have never taken
this early on in their career.
Today we have,
uh, just a little shadowboxing.
Going through some strategy for the fight.
Up, up! Aim in!
Bounce. Watch your feet!
Jake Paul, I mean he's tough,
he has a great chin,
he has speed,
he has punching power in both hands.
This guy, he's invested 100%,
not just financially
but physically and mentally.
My name is Ocean Interbeing,
and I am Jake's longevity specialist
and, um, stretch therapist.
So I do, like,
all that kind of ninja healing work.
I kinda stumbled across
the psychedelic healing state.
The guys I was working with,
they were, like, burners and PhDs.
So... And they did yoga.
So it's just kinda scientific.
I have a breath work coach,
as well, to guide me through meditations.
His name is Lukis Mac.
We have these ceremonies, as a team,
where we charge up our energy
as a collective.
And my teammates send me energy
through the ether
and send me their visualization
and send me their strength and courage.
It's such a fuckin' dangerous fight.
That could potentially derail everything
for the rest of his life.
That's why it concerns me.
Jake, he's only been boxing
for three years.
Man, like, he's so new to this sport.
I saw the opportunity
to create a UFC-like platform for boxing,
with Jake as the anchor
and the face of it.
He knows marketing really well,
and he understands business,
so together we've been able
to have this great partnership.
Nakisa is my business partner.
He's a numbers genius.
Knows the fight game
like the back of his hand.
And together we make an incredible team.
Me being a promoter
and being a boxer go hand in hand.
It's all one harmony.
It's one song. It's one dance.
When we first started
working together,
we talked about the business strategy
of how we engage different constituencies
to be interested in your fights.
So his first professional fight,
he chose a fellow YouTuber.
I got another fight against AnEsonGib.
He was the next UK YouTuber to go after.
We knew it would get a ton of publicity.
Tonight,
he makes his professional debut.
Here is the American YouTube sensation...
...Jake Paul!
Oh!
Big right hand that lands.
He's hurt. Gib is hurt!
Oh! He's down again!
Jake Paul with a first-round destruction
of AnEsonGib!
Boxing is kind of
a hoity-toity sport,
so, initially, I think
the old guard boxing community
kinda looked down on
what these kids were doing.
The old guard didn't understand,
didn't respect, didn't embrace.
"What is he? What is this?"
Like, "Is this boxing?
Is this entertainment? Is it a circus?"
A lot of these YouTube guys
are thinking that it's a joke.
You know, to make it
kind of like a circus act is not cool.
There were tons of boxing purists
saying like, "No."
Trying to protect their sport.
They didn't know
how much this sport meant to me.
They didn't know my plans.
From there,
there was a process of figuring out,
"Can we keep elevating the level
of competition every single time?"
People were like,
"Fight a real athlete,
not just these YouTubers."
I was like, "All right.
Nate Robinson's talking shit."
"Is buff. Is fast."
"I'll fight him."
When he fought Nate Robinson,
that was shocking for many people
that a YouTuber
was fighting a professional athlete.
There were literally articles that said,
"It's irresponsible to put this YouTuber
in there with this unbelievable athlete."
- Oh, bro!
- Let me stand
Wow, Snoop Dogg is...
is singing the hymns.
Nothing funny about what's happenin'
with Nate Robinson. He's tryin' to get...
- Goodnight Irene.
- Oh no! That's it!
Mamma mia! The Problem Child!
Then he knocked out
the unbelievable athlete, viciously.
Then articles said it was irresponsible
to put the NBA athlete in there
with the YouTuber
who's learning how to box.
Where the fuck
Should I really even start?
People don't realize
it's a business first.
It's an entertainment first.
And the better you are at marketing,
the more entertaining you are,
the more people are gonna buy your fights.
You know, that's where
"the Problem Child" came from.
I've always had that shit-talkin' nature.
Growing up, all the uncles
would be talking shit to each other,
yelling at each other,
insulting each other.
And so it's just always been a part of me.
Jake is one of those guys.
He doesn't mind being the bad guy.
And what did he do?
Which I thought was a brilliant move.
He didn't just pick a fight
with one good guy,
he picked a fight with an entire sport.
He said, "All right, let me call out MMA.
No one's fighting these MMA guys."
"And see if I can get every MMA fan,
every MMA promoter, every MMA coach,
every MMA fighter on the planet
to talk about me and hate me."
And it worked!
Yeah.
Dana, pay your fighters more.
Give them healthcare, you scumbag.
Greedy, old, lonely, bald bitch!
Dana White diss-track out now.
Got my Dana White piata. About to...
When Jake
started attacking Dana White,
we said, "Okay,
what's the next right step?"
"Here's an MMA guy, Ben Askren,
who isn't an amazing striker
but has never been knocked out by punches,
has great championship pedigree."
I wanna fight
the biggest names in the sport.
UFC fighters like Ben Askren.
Put them in a ring
and go head-to-head with them.
Yes, Mr. Jake Paul, I do accept.
I'm gonna make a whole bunch of money
to beat up a guy
who is pretending to be an athlete.
Hilarious, buddy.
Stand up straight when I'm talking to you.
Slouchin' like a bitch.
- Bring it in, guys.
- Let's go, baby!
- How many days?
- Twenty-two!
- How many days?
- Twenty-two!
- One, two, three, win!
- Let's fucking go!
Promotion, it's an art.
Everything's a storyline
to engage the audience.
I utilize the most powerful tool
in the world, the phone,
to create those storylines,
daily, two times daily, three times daily.
Tweets flying out.
Prank calling my opponents' coaches.
Making TikToks.
Shit-talking their whole family.
Roasting them.
Ben Askren, is it true
that you play Napoleon Dynamite?
- Yes.
- You fucked up, Ben.
And April 17th,
I promise to make you go down in history...
...as the world's worst
UFC fighter.
I stepped in a cage with trained killers.
Guys who did this for a living.
Jake Paul is a YouTube star.
Jake Paul isn't a fuckin' boxer.
This guy's a fuckin' YouTube kid.
I'll bet a million dollars...
- Oh, here we go.
- ...that he loses this fuckin' fight.
- Dana White!
- What?!
It's literally a video game
that I get to play in real life.
Oh, the whole MMA world hates me.
All of these UFC people hate me.
The boxing purists hate me.
So they're gonna tune in,
wanting and paying
to hopefully see me get knocked out.
Jake Paul sparred
with former world champion Jean Pascal...
Get my money, Jake.
Get my motherfuckin' money!
- Get my motherfuckin' money, Jake!
- Holy shit!
Get my motherfuckin' money!
What?!
- No!
- What?!
It's over!
Ooh!
Jake Paul!
Oh!
Oh! Oh my God!
Jake Paul just rocked Askren.
Fuck!
Wow! The Problem Child! Argh!
Take him seriously, I guess.
Who's next? Let's go!
Tonight,
making his boxing debut,
former UFC
Welterweight Champion of the World...
...Tyron Woodley!
The crowd, electric.
The action, underway.
Paul... A jab... Another jab by Paul.
I think we can finally
put to rest the question,
"Is he a fighter?" I think, tonight,
he's proving he is a fighter.
- Right uppercut.
- And still undefeated...
...the Problem Child,
Jake Paul!
How 'bout this? We are back.
Jake Paul, Tyron Woodley 2.
I got a gift for you.
I got you a gift.
- For...
- What do we have?
It's a Rolex.
You're giving this to him, why?
'Cause it's time for me to knock him out.
Showtime!
Just stepping through the...
No, stay out!
Give it up. Give it up. Give it up.
I don't know
what the fuck is going on.
My little brother,
a fucking random YouTube kid from Ohio,
is knocking out
the greatest combat sports fighters ever.
What... Wha... How do you process that?
As a result of that knockout,
Jake became an overnight sensation.
Jake Paul's entry in the world of boxing
has gone from strength to strength.
Who has knocked out
more UFC veterans than Jake Paul?
Look, this is an MMA champion.
- Knocked out cold.
- Paul scored a brutal knockout.
He got him with a right hook.
It was bad! He hit him so hard, dude.
Say what you will
about the Problem Child, he delivers.
- 1.3 million pay-per-view buys.
- Oh my God.
- At how much?
- Fifty dollars.
Oh my fucking God.
You headlined
a $60-million pay-per-view fight.
Oh my God.
Doesn't feel like
a little brother anymore.
He's done things that I have not
and will not and cannot do.
He's his own fucking entity.
I love what he's doing.
Promotion's off the chart.
He's hilarious, brash.
One of the smartest marketers
the fucking sport has ever seen.
Nurse!
I broke my back
carrying the last five fights' promotion.
- You're used to this.
- My opponents never sell shit.
- Mouth-to-mouth?
- It hurts!
- Mouth-to-mouth?
- These motherfuckers never sell shit!
How do you feel
about YouTube fighters?
Do you think they belong in the sport?
Well, listen. My ego says so many things.
Forbes said you made
$40 million last year in boxing.
But my reality is
boxing was pretty much a dying sport.
Jake Paul's fight
brought in $75 million this weekend.
The biggest pay-per-view event
of the year.
Jake Paul, him and his brother, man.
These guys have brought boxing
back to life.
I know it's hard to believe.
Twenty-five million views?
Boxing's going back
thanks to the YouTube boxers.
Jake said,
"Hey, I wanna start a fighters' union."
I said, "Listen,
I'm not the guy for that."
"I'm not trying to be the face
of a fighters' union with you."
The old guard, the Dana Whites,
these old promoters and capitalists
prey on young fighters.
They don't give a fuck about you.
So I want there to be a fighters' union.
To demand long-term healthcare,
to demand fighter minimums
for boxers and MMA fighters.
I've been in the gym,
and I've seen how hard these guys work
and how mistreated they are.
So, you know,
I wanna create a fighters' union.
Jake was calling out the beloved promoter
of the UFC, Dana White,
and he was poking them
and talking about their business.
This is the most dangerous sport
in the world,
and the UFC, you know,
makes billions of dollars a year,
and they're only paying their fighters
15% of that.
But then I noticed that there was
a consistent diminishing of Jake Paul
by Dana White.
They went from, "That fight was fixed"
to "He's on steroids."
That was really the breaking point
for me to say, "Okay, Jake."
"Let's have a focus
on getting fighters paid more."
"Let's have a focus on giving women
the opportunity in boxing."
Boom.
Enter Amanda Serrano,
one of the greatest fighters ever.
For the longest time,
no one promoted her the right way.
Amanda Serrano was fighting
for a decade and not making much money,
wasn't getting the attention
and respect she deserved.
Well look at her now, headlining MSG,
making seven figures.
The highest in women's boxing history.
So out with the old, in with the new,
and it's gonna take some time,
but the revolution has started.
Stop asking me about Jake Paul.
I don't give a shit. Anderson Silva.
We honestly need to start talking again
about hi... this guy as the GOAT.
One of the greatest of all time.
Possibly even the greatest of all time.
And I fuckin' guarantee you this,
you ain't gonna see Jake Paul
calling Anderson Silva out.
That I fuckin' promise you. Jake?
Jake?
Jake?
Guess who?
Jake Paul is facing
his toughest test in his career.
Anderson Silva, one of
the greatest MMA fighters of all time.
To tell you the truth,
there are some on Jake's team
who advised him not to take this fight.
I think he's a little bit crazy.
Massive fight coming up.
We have Jake Paul, Anderson Silva,
one of the greatest UFC athletes ever.
Yes, Jake Paul is going to box
Anderson Silva.
This is a real-ass fight right here.
There's real stakes
in the future of Jake Paul,
because it could go badly right here.
Dude, let's say he knocks Jake Paul out,
potentially even viciously.
Real bad shit could happen to a guy
who may not be ready for it.
Fight's gonna be real bad for him.
Real bad for him.
- How you feelin'?
- Good. Just chillin'.
Uh, are you and Jake
on good terms?
The last time I checked,
you guys weren't, like, speaking.
I think we're good, but I didn't think
we were bad when it went bad.
You know what I'm saying?
When he shut me off, there was no warning.
It was weird.
So you guys are good now,
but you haven't talked about it?
Just gotta tell him you love him.
Fuck Jake Paul! Fuck Jake Paul!
Jake's birthday,
we all flew to Utah, in this cabin.
Jake was pretty fucked up. So was my dad.
It was a big group of people there.
And Jake mentioned my dad abusing him
as a... as a child.
They got in a huge argument.
And it hurt Jake so much
that my dad refused to acknowledge
the physical hardship
that he put us through when we were young.
We've been through some shit, dude.
It wasn't fun.
It was fucking torture, bro.
But when you survive that kind of shit,
you become tough as fuck.
Jake is still traumatized to this day
about how my dad treated him.
And they still don't get along
like they should.
Fuckin' get over it, Jake! I'm sorry!
Look what has happened in your life!
I have a hard time understanding
why the... the trauma from Jake's childhood
still affects him,
knowing the monster that it created
and what that monster
is doing in his life.
A unanimous decision
in favor of the winner
and still undefeated,
the Problem Child...
...Jake Paul!
Anyone. Anytime. Anyplace.
Anyone. Anytime. Anyplace.
Real dog! Real dog!
Real dog!
Let's go!
I did not wanna fuckin' lose on Netflix.
A hundred and eighty-three countries
or some shit. I'm not fuckin' losing.
Oh my God.
Argh! Let's go!
Six and oh, baby. Six and oh.
What you gonna say now
to the Problem Child?
Jake Paul,
you're not fighting boxers!
You're beating up on cats that don't box.
Why you calling yourself a boxer?
I am not gonna respect this clown until
he faces a real professional fighter.
Jake Paul
is not a professional boxer.
If he fought a boxer,
it would not go well.
In boxing, my goal is to have
some of the biggest pay-per-views
in the history of the sport.
After Silva,
it was back to the drawing board.
Because with the right opponent,
we could sell
a million pay-per-views, for sure.
Someone has to have a name.
They have to be a way tougher opponent
than my last one.
There has to be a real risk.
Now, do they bring something to the table
as far as promotion?
Are they exciting? Are they entertaining?
Are they likeable?
Will people be on their side?
But most important here...
the storyline.
Everyone said to Jake Paul...
Their number-one criticism to me is,
"Fight a real boxer."
So I'm just taking
all of these storylines...
- That's fire.
- ...using them to my advantage.
Yeah, it's really good.
Just a couple of small notes.
To try and make
the biggest money fight there is.
Beautiful day for a walk.
Hey! Um, why are you with him?
He hasn't even fought a real boxer yet.
Jake Paul should be fighting
a real fighter.
He has to face real opponents.
Not somebody like Woodley!
Jake! When you gonna fight a real boxer?
I'm not gonna respect Jake Paul
until he faces a professional fighter.
Fighting non-boxers!
I am not impressed.
Hey, is that Jake Paul?
Hey, fight a real boxer, pussy.
Babe! Babe! What's wrong? What's wrong?
I dreamt everyone was telling me
to fight a real boxer.
Oh, it's Nakisa, my manager.
Hello?
No!
The talk is over.
Finally, the moment
we all have been waiting for,
Jake Paul versus Tommy Fury.
Sunday night, under the lights
at breathtaking Diriyah.
Great things
come out of crazy situations,
and this Jake Paul,
Tommy Fury thing is crazy.
On paper, it's crazy.
But look at the people
flockin' 'ere to see it.
It's the biggest fight in the world!
It's global.
This little guy is knocking out guys
he's not supposed to knock out
and brings 70 million to each fight.
That's insane!
You just don't see that in fighting.
That's for big Hollywood stars.
You know, that's the thing
that makes it interesting.
Ladies and gentlemen,
this fight is for real.
I'm joined here by Jake Paul,
the Problem Child,
who's on his phone right now.
I'm... I'm live-streaming.
On Instagram.
I'm just getting the viewers
to go over to YouTube.
At the very end,
a man that needs no introduction,
John Fury.
If you understand
conventional boxing like I do,
it's a different world
to what Jake Paul's seen.
You can't cross over
to professional boxing overnight
and beat people who've spent
their whole life doin' it.
We're professionals. Boxin' is what we do.
And believe me,
there's no way in this entire world
my son would disgrace
our great champion, Tyson Fury.
Ladies and gentlemen,
the WBC Champion of the World, Tyson Fury.
Tyson! Tyson!
Tyson put this family on the map.
In terms of boxing,
we're here, and Jake Paul's here.
He's a YouTube boxer.
This guy don't got no legs.
He's top-heavy as shit.
He look like
the Michelin Man or somethin'.
And he's gonna get into the deep waters
and drowned, and I promise that.
Jake Paul has got a way
of getting under people's skin.
He gets personal. He starts bringing
family into the equation,
and he can be a naughty boy.
He keeps on saying it's an easy fight.
You know, knocking me out.
He comes from the bloodline.
Been doing it his whole life.
I just wanna know, Tommy, do you think
this is gonna be an easy fight?
Look me in the eyes.
You're getting put to sleep
inside four rounds.
As time goes on,
with people like Jake Paul,
with his personality,
they start believing in their own egos.
They got all these people telling them
they can do this, they can do that.
I think we make a deal, then.
If you win, I'll pay you double.
But if I win,
I take everything that I'm paying you.
He's trying to play the promoter.
He's trying to play the businessman.
And the fighter.
When you got a man in front of you
who is just playing the fighter,
you're in for a dangerous game.
Deal or no deal?
Since you're so confident.
- Deal or no deal?
- Take it.
- Answer the question!
- What you gonna do?
Answer the question!
You've dealt. You've got a deal.
All or nothing. All or nothing.
I have no problem
taking the bet against him.
When I get him on those ropes,
I'll be looking to take his head off.
Come 'ere.
To be honest, I'm pretty scared
what's gonna happen to Jake.
Jake could well end up
in the hospital tomorrow night.
Ooh. This is nice.
It's been a minute since we've
caught up, so where are we right now,
and what's going on?
Well, you guys are in my bathroom,
in Saudi Arabia.
In just a matter of hours,
my brother's gonna be fighting Tommy Fury.
I've never had this many people
in the bathroom while I'm bathing.
Your brother
seems to have it frequently!
Bro, that dude has
so many people around him.
- Yes! Nice.
- Hell yeah. Let's go.
- What was it?
- Eighty-six.
- Hey!
- My brother's thin.
- Just two more pounds. That's it.
- That's it, baby.
Should Jake lose,
I think he'll have a hard time
being able to come back from that.
The dude has all his eggs
in one basket, man!
All his eggs are in one basket!
Weight's on point. We're on the way
to the weigh-in right now.
Tune in live.
It's our last time being face-to-face.
I try to convey
losing is possible.
Have you looked defeat in the face
and acknowledged it?
That's a demon in itself.
If he gets exposed,
do people keep buying into him?
Shit, dog, I don't know.
Would he go back to Disney?
See if he can play Dirk again?
Jake Paul,
when we take this shit in the ring,
it's over for ya. Ya getting knocked out.
You cannot win it! Argh!
Argh! Argh!
Damn, he just keeps winning.
He just keeps proving himself right.
At what point do I just stop, you know,
denying the greatness that is Jake Paul?
- Did you hear that?
- What?
- Cristiano.
- Ronaldo's here.
And there is
Cristiano Ronaldo.
He's the biggest superstar on the planet.
Well, next to him.
Where? Let's go see him.
To be honest with ya,
I know we've had to play our part,
Tommy's had to play his part,
but Jake and his brother...
I'm in awe of the guys.
They're children.
I'm thinking, "Check out
the business brains on these guys."
John Fury!
John, huge fan, bro. Huge fan.
At the end of the day,
who'd have thought
it would've been this big?
And they've made us part of it.
I had to hold back emotions.
I, Jake Joseph Paul,
will knock out, defeat,
and embarrass Tommy Fury
live in Saudi Arabia.
You know
what the through line is here?
Me, Jake,
Greg Paul, John Fury,
Tommy Fury, and Tyson Fury.
We all got some screws loose, bro.
The Furys and the Pauls, now,
are locked in together in folklore.
It was divine intervention.
This thing was meant to happen.
My brother,
come back victorious tonight.
Or come back
on your fucking shield, all right?
History's written.
If it's written
Tommy should win, he'll win.
If it's written that Jake Paul wins,
Jake Paul wins.
It's destiny, and no one can stop destiny.
Let's get this party started!
Look where your arms are.
Get it, baby.
Step up! Step up!
Step up! You got this!
Get that jab! Get that jab!
Jake Paul using his jab.
As we near... A right hand to the body
by Paul. Back comes Tommy Fury.
End of the first round.
Action heating up.
And round number two begins.
All Fury's, all of his knockouts,
have come in two rounds or under.
Both men seem to be relaxed.
A stiff jab by Tommy Fury.
Overhand right over the top, connecting,
but Tommy Fury ate it well.
Logan Paul, how do you feel
he's doing so far in the fight?
He's doing great.
He definitely got that last round.
Tommy, if you can hear me,
you a bitch, bro, and you gassing out.
You a bitch!
The whole Fury family, a bitch!
Put him down!
I pissed him off.
I pissed him off, Goddamn it.
As Jake Paul went forward,
he ate a couple right hands.
Stay in control!
Yeah. Yeah, Jake!
Bring it to him! Bring it to him, Jake!
That'll end
the fifth round. Three more rounds to go.
Move!
Left hook! That sent...
That wobbled Tommy Fury.
Fury might be hurt!
If you look at this fight,
you have to ask, "Who is 'the YouTuber, '
and who is 'the boxer'?"
'Cause if you look at it,
Jake Paul is showing
he is definitely a seasoned boxer.
Close fight between these two,
as Jake Paul
continues to pursue Tommy Fury.
A series of three right hands...
...that found their marks.
Go get this motherfucker!
Let's go!
He's trying to take everything. Let's go!
Final round!
Eighth and final round
between Jake Paul and Tommy Fury.
We have us a close fight.
Who will prevail here
in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia?
Oh my goodness!
Got a knock-down.
That could be significant.
If there was any doubt
if Jake Paul would be able
to hold his own,
he has answered that
with resounding fashion.
Absolutely.
He just cannot afford
to get touched at this point.
But back comes Tommy Fury!
It is clear that Jake Paul and Tommy Fury
were meant for each other!
That's it.
The game is over.
Very impressive fight.
Valiant effort by both guys.
Nothing was left in the gym.
They laid it all out right here.
- It's close though, man.
- If we're lucky, it's a draw.
The winner by split decision...
...Tommy TNT Fury!
Tommy Fury hands Jake Paul
the first defeat of his career!
You're not the man I thought you was.
You're tough. You'll go a long way.
You started three years ago,
I started when I was six.
I've nothing but love and respect for you.
It was a great build-up.
Great fight. Thank you.
Want some ice on that eye, baby?
Yeah, I just didn't fight good.
I didn't, like,
capitalize on my moments, but
it's all good.
- Sorry about that.
- Don't be sorry.
Don't you apologize to us.
Yeah, don't fuckin... Jake.
Never apologize for getting in the ring.
- Can we cut that?
- I wasn't rolling.
I don't want that footage on YouTube.
This is just for doc shit with Netflix.
Fuck that.
Look how far you came in this shit, man.
Look how far you came.
No, Jake. Jake! Look how far you came!
Jake Paul, he's not a villain.
He's an antihero. He's not a villain.
He does hero shit, but he just don't go
by heroes' laws, you know?
- Do you relate to that?
- Yeah! Yeah.
Listen...
he did more for boxing
than some of the champions did.
I'm a fan of people
that know how to put asses in seats.
Those are the guys I look up to.
I like to see him talking shit.
The blond-haired,
blue-eyed cute kid is getting mean.
"Fuck you. You can't fight.
You piece of shit."
"You're nothing. You're the..."
That's beautiful.
That sells papers.
You're entertaining us.
You're the champ. You're my hero.
So we gotta keep this guy bright
'cause he's gonna save boxing
as long as he continues to fight.
He... He got the light.
You know what I mean?
He's touched. He got the light.
This is fucked up.
I don't know how Jake operates
a... as an emotional being.
I don't know what's happening,
and it's really hard for me to comprehend.
I think he's not as universally likeable.
He's much easier to hate
than he is to love.
He's a problem child.
He is the Problem Child.
He's been a problem child his whole life.
All right, it's rolling.
- All right.
- Let's go, baby.
- Let's work!
- Let's go, baby!
Netflix Untold! I'm back, baby!
The comeback starts now.
We got a new team, new mindset,
new training schedule. And guess what?
- Let's go!
- I'm knocking this motherfucker out!
Let's go!
Wow, we have come a long way.
It's still every day, bro.
But today is the biggest day of my life.
Today is the biggest moment of my life,
and I'm putting it all on the line
against one of the greatest
combat strikers
right here in this ring tonight.
See you soon.
Fire.
- Pow!
- One-take Jake.
If you're new, my name's Jake Paul.
Welcome back to the channel.
Brian. Brian. Brian!
- Let's get it, baby. Lock and load.
- You made him cry.
It's our motherfucking show.
It's our house. Let's go.
- In for a real fight.
- He's shitting his pants.
- You're fucking ready.
- We ain't going nowhere.
Crazy.
- You all right?
- Yeah, I'm good.
You sure?
- I'm good. I'm good.
- I'm in!
Oh Jesus Christ.
It was trouble, man.
You've always been my little brother.
Doesn't feel like that anymore.
Not only are you not so little now,
but you've expanded your mind,
your circle, your emotional intelligence,
and, somehow, your capabilities.
From making silly home videos
before YouTube even existed
to changing the entire landscape
of combat sports,
everyone in this room knows
just how powerful of a being you are.
It's why we're all here,
including Netflix.
You make it incredibly easy
to be a proud brother.
And one day, if I run for president,
I'd be honored to have you
as my vice president...
...or maybe secretary of defense.
You'll be in charge of the red button,
the all-powerful nuke
that also happens to be
at the end of your right hand.
While this moment
is so much bigger than we can imagine,
I promise tonight will be
just another blip on your radar of life.
You've done all the hard work, bro.
Go do what you do best.
- Let's fucking go.
- Let's fucking go, baby!
Let's go.
- Love you, bruh.
- I love you, bro.
- Love you, man. So proud of you.
- Let's go.
- You're killing it, dude.
- Who ray?
We ray!
Tick! Tick! Tick!
Boom! Let's go!
And now,
making his way to the ring,
here is the popular
social media sensation turned boxer,
the Problem Child...
...Jake Paul!
Jake is gonna get
knocked the fuck out tonight.
You ain't shit.
Fuck Jake Paul!
Fuck Jake Paul!
Jake Paul is a fucking idiot.
You fucking bitch.
I will fucking kick your ass.
He's just an absolute bellend.
- Obnoxious, arrogant asshole.
- I can't stand this man.
Fuck Jake Paul!
Jake Paul, the most hated YouTuber
on the planet.
It's nearly that time, Jake.
I'm gonna do a countdown of ten,
and then you're gonna see it,
you're gonna feel it,
you're gonna celebrate it.
In ten.
Nine.
Eight.
Seven.
Six.
Five. Four.
Three. Two. One.
Stranger's arms
Reach out to me
'Cause they know
I'm so lonely
Then my mind
Goes back to you
And your sweet love
Sees me through
I gotta tuck my balls away.
Is this gonna be the style
where you show the slate closing
and then, like,
the person's reactions after it?
- It's good when you see people, like...
- Yeah, exactly.
Jake Paul is a promoter.
Y'all got fooled into thinking
he's a boxer.
I'm Jake Paul.
I used to be a landscaper,
and now I'm a seashell collector
and professional boxer,
knocking people the fuck out.
Ow, my leg.
My hamstrings
are cramped up.
Do you need a Prime?
I just had one, man.
Tell Logan that shit doesn't work.
We're fucking media whores
who... who make content on phones,
edit on iMovie, post 'em to the Internet,
and get people talking.
Jake Paul
is a totally different thing for boxing.
He's half boxer,
half entertainer, YouTuber.
Jake has built this hype train
on "I'm fuckin' next up."
Potentially the best boxer
of this generation.
I'm 24. I could take over the world.
I could become the next Muhammad Ali.
What the fuck you talkin' about?
You're not fucking Muhammad Ali.
What are you gonna do
when Jake Paul knocks you the fuck out,
you fucking pussy?
Many have accused Jake Paul
of "being a clown
whose boxing turn is just another stunt."
I think people love to talk shit
about my boxing ability.
Jake Paul isn't a boxer.
This guy's a fucking YouTube kid.
I don't believe you'll ever get close
to being a world-class fighter.
I believe that I will beat
anybody on your roster.
Of course, he's delusional.
You know, like, we all are.
It's why we are where we are.
Until it becomes a reality.
So, yeah, he's delusional,
but that's the beauty of Jake Paul.
The Problem Child is in the building!
What? A YouTuber fighting?
All right, this is ridiculous.
The biggest question was,
"Is this just, like, a gimmick?"
I'm sure a lot of boxing purists
right now are like,
"Oh, you're having Jake Paul on."
"You're lending legitimacy
to what's going on."
The old guard boxing community
had been very reluctant to warm up.
Social media
has confused the whole world.
People think,
"Oh, he must be able to do it
'cause millions of people think he can."
I'm a real dog. I just became
the biggest prizefighter overnight.
Jake Paul!
Jake Paul!
But boxing can be very dangerous.
Very dangerous.
Jake Paul is that good of a promoter,
he's twisted people's ears,
turned people's heads,
and some people actually believe
he can be a professional boxer.
Will you finally accept
that you're a celebrity boxer
and not a real boxer?
Next question, brother.
He can go back
and be king of the jungle in YouTube,
but can he actually be
a professional boxer? No.
YouTube?!
Is... Is that you?
Oh my God!
It's been so long.
But, uh, we got good news, guys.
We're coming back.
Jake, what do you think of that?
Man! The hype is real, man!
We are two kids from Ohio,
make no mistake, who grew up in a tree.
From the earliest days
I can remember,
it's us, you know,
playing in the woods together,
making forts, building fires.
We were just always there for each other.
They go to the same places.
They get there very different ways.
I operate
with logic and rationality.
Jake operates with emotion.
We're yin and yang. We are the exact same
and the exact fucking opposite.
They both were interested
in wrestling and football.
That was my identity. Sports
and athleticism and competitiveness.
We were a team,
and our parents were really strict.
Mainly my dad.
And it was always Logan and I against him.
Holy shit.
Yo, Greg Paul is a fuckin' being.
He's a menace.
Man, that guy's intense.
People would be like,
"You're so strict with your kids."
"Okay, give me your kid for two weeks,
and when your kid comes back,
they'll be a better kid."
He always said,
"Life's not easy. Life's not fair."
"No one will pick you up
when you're down."
- Welcome to life. Get the fuck over it.
- Jake may throw around the word "abusive."
I prefer "not quite legal."
Yeah, my... my dad would
slap the shit out of me.
I don't resent it.
I'm understanding of why he did that.
That's all he knew.
I never laid hands on my kids.
I said, "Jake, I did pick you up
and throw you on a couch a couple times."
"But I was afraid of you."
"That's what the fuck
dads are supposed to do."
If somebody comes in here,
starts harassing everybody
and smacking around an old lady,
do you want
a couple Greg Pauls in the room?
Or do you want some fuckin' fairy f,
whiny-ass little bitch
who's gonna sit there
and talk about emotions?
Who do you want in the room?
Personally, I attribute pretty much
all of my success to my father.
He was so hard and so tough on us
that my brother and I's imagination
really started to flare up.
So one day, we get a camera,
and we just start filming our lives.
Duh-duh. Duh!
Oh, good! Yeah, baby!
Jake, you need to do the dishes.
Oh no, I can't do that.
No, I'm not doing that.
This was the start of comedy skits online
and viral videos.
I was born in the dark.
We start watching YouTube videos.
We're bored. We're recreating them.
We're directing. We're filming.
We're creating comedy.
The Sneeze.
- Achoo!
- What are you doing?
They would get, like,
a thousand views, which was a lot.
You know, there's a thousand people
in your high school.
We were just becoming popular.
What are you doing?
You can't cut down the...
Lean forward more.
You actually care about the forest.
Logan was definitely
leading everything.
He was, like, the captain
of the two-man team
and had the final say.
You know, I wanted to be like him
and make him proud, I guess.
I wanted him to be like,
"I have a cool little brother."
Logan!
Come on! Stay with us.
Logan, it's Christmastime. It's Christmas!
At first, it was just for fun.
Okay, we need to go harder, we need
to start putting money into these videos.
We need to start getting props.
We need to get actors.
We need to build it up and create
the best videos on Vine possible.
That was our goal.
It's just one muffin. Why not?
Guess it's time to go workout now.
I was used to landscaping
for ten dollars an hour,
and I remember the first brand deal I did.
I got paid $200,
and I was like, "Oh my gosh, I'm rich."
They're like, "We have another brand deal.
That one did well. How much do you want?"
Me and my dad were on the phone like...
"How much do you want?"
"I don't know. Like... 5,000."
They were like, "Okay, we could do that."
And we were like, "What the fuck?!"
"Five thousand dollars!
Like, Jesus Christ!"
Cash. Money.
Okay, if we have 200,000 followers,
and we're making $5,000 a post,
what happens when we get to a million?
Or two million?
I remember when they made
the word "influencer."
That was us. They were talking about us.
Argh!
Let's go!
Dropped out of high school.
Moved to Los Angeles with my brother,
who's in that room right there.
And we just
started chasing our dreams.
Yo!
Good morning, Jake Paulers.
What's poppin'?
If you're new here, I'm Jake Paul.
You guys are the Jake Paulers.
So we move to LA,
start auditioning for roles,
start collabing with some of the other
biggest YouTubers in the world.
And we all lived
in the same apartment complex.
All of us were going viral
two, three times a day.
The regular world starts to pay attention.
Traditional media starts to cover us.
- What's up? How you doin'?
- Good. How are you?
- Good to see you.
- You guys got bright lights out here.
Listen. So you're making
some history right now.
You're making some noise.
I think the way Greg raised us,
combined with Jake living in my shadow
for as long as he did,
put a fire in his belly
that is so hard to put out.
And then, boom, I get the call
to go audition for Disney Channel.
Do you think I'm gonna get the role?
Do you think I'm gonna get it?
Hey!
Let's go make some videos, hey!
You could watch Dirk doing crazy dares
- Saying, "Here we go"
- Here we go!
He'll do anything you want
Just don't try this at home
He got the role.
Dirk? I... I'm such a big fan.
Sweet.
Two Vine kids from Ohio...
...just moved to LA
to see what we could do in media...
...got a starring role
in a major Disney show.
And so it really blew me up,
took me to another level,
and legitimized my whole purpose.
I... It gave credibility
to what it was that I was trying to do.
Three years ago,
I was a... a class clown,
getting laughed at
by teachers and classmates.
All it is is hard work and passion.
Yo, guys.
I love you.
You guys are amazing. You changed my life.
Here he is. The man,
the social media and YouTube sensation.
Fourteen million subscribers.
It's an honor and a responsibility.
He was going 100 miles an hour.
More tail than you can shake a stick at.
Girls just throwing their panties at him.
Making a lot of money, spending a lot.
I mean, he bought a $7.4 million house
at 18 years old. That's crazy.
Welcome home, Jake Paulers!
We made it, Mom!
We have millions of dollars.
Hundreds of millions of people
paying attention to what we do.
- Like, I see you popping up everywhere.
- Yeah. Uh... Thank you.
- How many views do you have?
- I don't know.
You have 2 billion. I have 2.6 billion.
We have some competition.
In Los Angeles,
we were more focused on business
and making money and growing our brands,
and that became a competitive race.
What do you call your people?
- YouTube.com/LoganPaulVlogs.
- Nice.
I'm gonna be
the biggest entertainer on the planet.
Cop yourself some of the hottest merch
in the game.
Check this out! I think this
is my favorite one.
Get your merch here. Hottest merch
in the game. Link in the description.
- He's wearing my merch.
- It's a rainbow!
He's got a gap tooth.
And I wanted to prove to him
that I'm legit.
I can do this too.
And he wanted to prove to me,
"I'm the bigger brother.
I'm gonna get more followers."
Things got too competitive.
There was a point
where we hated each other.
- Like, legitimately?
- Legitimately.
Not for clout, not for clicks.
This is so fucking stupid.
We had YouTube beef.
Logan was really good
at capitalizing and saying,
"I'm the big brother.
You're in my shadow."
Logan, you're gonna wanna stop
taunting me and pushing me
and poking me and making things up.
- He's a loose cannon.
- I'm a loose nuke!
He was my only competition on YouTube,
and I was getting more views than him.
I was beating him. Make no mistake.
This is so fuckin' stupid,
but I had more subs.
I had the girl. More people
paying attention. Selling more merch.
And that's when I saw him
really do some conniving things.
"I'm bigger than you.
I'm better-looking than you."
"More creative than you.
I tell better stories."
I thought I was, like,
just a better version of Jake.
It was war, dog.
It was YouTube fuckin' war.
Now you got a few subscribers
And you think that you're the shit
I'll admit, you got money, you got bars
You got chicks, but you're redic
Help me, help you
Make a better song, bitch
Numbers don't lie
The Logang is shit
It was just crazy competition.
Hard as a mom.
What mom would like two sons
fighting against each other? No one!
Logan threw him under the bus,
messed around with his ex.
Uh-oh, that's Alissa Violet
Used to be your chick
Now she in the Logang
And you know she on my... team
Logan definitely crossed the line.
But I get it from his point of view.
I was 22 years old,
and I didn't care, at the time,
how bad I was hurting my little brother.
At the time, so much was going right,
and it was easy to throw around
these extreme emotions.
Hate. Envy. Jealousy. Just so volatile.
Then things started going wrong.
What goes up must come down.
For both of us.
We were the two biggest people on YouTube.
But we both wanted to be the biggest.
You gotta start doing crazy shit
just to get views.
Residents in a Hollywood
neighborhood are angry.
They say they've had enough of the chaos
created by a social media star
known for his crazy antics.
A recent stunt involved
tossing furniture into an empty pool
and setting the pile on fire.
It used to be a nice quiet street.
Now we're just this war zone.
- Jake, Channel Five!
- Jake, I wouldn't do that.
I wanna, um, take this time
to talk about my brother, Jake Paul,
and his recent split with Disney Channel.
Family-friendly Disney
has announced
it is splitting with the 20-year-old star.
You're in LA.
Now you have $10 million.
You think you're cool. You have fame.
You have all this pressure.
Your ego's in the way.
You're still figuring out who you are.
All of that's a recipe for disaster.
Logan Paul, the YouTube star,
who has millions of young followers
with his zany videos online,
recently, as you know, came under fire
for posting an alarming video
showing the body of a person
who took their own life.
Did we just find a dead person
in the forest, hanging?
I've...
...never been hated by the whole world.
Jake Paul's Calabasas home
has been raided by the FBI.
Two dozen feds could be seen
carrying evidence from the property,
including several firearms.
Paul was accused of sexual
assault by TikTok star Justine Paradise.
Correct me if I'm wrong,
but nothing's come from it legally...
Course not.
Of course not.
Jake Paul
receives a big thumbs down
from most of the civilized world.
He is completely unhinged.
Who the fuck is Jake Paul?
Today we are talking about
the blockhead that is Jake Paul.
It was easy to rip me apart.
It became a thing to hate Jake Paul.
Jake Paul has gotta be
the dumbest, cockiest, stupidest,
most egotistical person
in the social media sphere.
The backlash and eyeballs
and responsibility,
at 21, 22 years old,
that we had is just not
real life.
Jake is the only person
who can understand what that's like.
Logan's the only other person
that has walked a mile in my shoes.
And in those moments of peril,
Jake and I realized
that we will always be there
for each other, no matter what.
Jake was so close
to being nothing. Gone. Done.
Literally two months away
from being flat broke.
It's not easy to be hated
by the whole entire world.
It creates a very dark mental place.
I mean, both my dad and I
felt worried for my brother's life.
Jake's always been
pretty emotionally unpredictable
and volatile.
There was a point where
we were both legitimately concerned
that Jake was gonna kill himself.
He needed purpose.
No one knew what he was gonna, like, do.
What is he...
What's he good at?
This will be no contest.
This will be a total annihilation.
- Any special training?
- No special training.
Just be at the fight.
I'm ready to back up everything
I'm saying, and I'm through talking.
Boxing is a very unique sport
from a business standpoint.
It's constructed unlike any other
sports entity out there.
No different than Barnum & Bailey
going town-to-town to put on circus acts,
you have all these different promoters
going, "Give me your money
'cause I've got a special event
in this fight, in this drama,
that you only see once in your lifetime."
All I wanna do
is to present to America and the world
the best in boxing.
Combinations!
Oh, it's over!
Here's the thing,
I can't tell you just how hard it is
to get people to be emotionally invested,
to get people to care,
to buy pay-per-views and tickets.
Boxing has kinda been
on a down cycle over the last couple years
because the UFC
is beating it right now in popularity.
The pay-per-view buys recently
haven't been as big as in the past.
As of last night,
tickets were still available,
and pay-per-view numbers are way down.
And so this started to become a thing.
"Boxing is irrelevant.
Boxing hasn't been relevant for a decade."
Boxing is losing their fans.
It's in danger of becoming irrelevant.
"Boxing is dead."
The sport of boxing's dead.
Boxing is dead.
HBO Sports simply dumping boxing
after 40-plus years.
But boxing was not dead.
Boxing will never be dead,
and it certainly isn't dead now.
Okay, I think this is something
that everybody will wanna understand.
Why boxing?
These YouTuber brothers from the UK
calling out me and Logan to fight.
Jake Paul. Logan Paul.
Any of the Pauls. I don't care. Bring it.
There's a trifecta
that fuels Jake and I both.
When you combine media with passion
and business, money, we're in.
Ten days later,
there's signed contracts,
and then on the 11th day, it was,
"Let's become professional boxers."
What I learned
in the entertainment industry
directly correlates to boxing
because boxing is the show business.
First and foremost, it's a show.
A boxing promoter
puts together an attraction.
Then you construct a business deal
around that attraction
so that you can make money
for the people participating
and make some for yourself.
There have been
some unique cases
where the great boxer
with the great personality
says, "You know what?
I could cut out the promoter."
"A, I'll get more money,
and b, I got the gift of the gab."
"I got the personality.
I could be my own promoter."
That's essentially
what Jake Paul has done.
What's up. It's the Paul bros.
The pay-per-view for the official fight
is now available for purchase
on this channel.
Let's go, baby.
In the world of YouTube,
when I was the villain,
a lot of my videos would get demonetized.
Sponsors didn't really wanna mess with me
because I was controversial
and polarizing.
In the world of boxing,
being the villain is the best thing.
It's Jake Paul.
Yeah!
Hey, boo if Deji's a bitch.
Fuck Jake Paul!
Fuck Jake Paul!
Fuck Jake Paul! Fuck Jake Paul!
The best fighters
are the ones who make you feel something.
If you're being booed and people hate you,
that's a good thing.
It's better to be the bad guy, the heel.
The heel, the bad guy,
always draws more money
because people now want to pay
to see you lose.
I'm a cold motherfucker.
I'll bet anyone. Any time, any place.
I wanna eat him up!
Too much speed for him.
Too fast. Too fast!
You middle-aged Dutch woman,
ugly, Napoleon Dynamite-lookin'...
You ain't tough.
Gonna kick my arse? Gonna whoop my arse?
Fucking kiss my arse.
- Let's make it happen.
- I'm my own boss.
Two in one night. Got your hat!
You can't touch me. You not man enough.
I'll eat your asshole alive, you bitch.
What the f is up, you Irish c?
Good morning...
Turns out, we're good at it.
I'mma fuck up Deji,
Logan's gonna fuck up KSI...
- Bor-ing!
- ...then I'mma fuck up KSI.
From the United States...
...Jake Paul!
That first fight ended up being
the biggest amateur fight
in the history of the sport.
Sold more pay-per-views
than any other amateur fight in the world.
So there was a ton of pressure.
The arena lets out boos
for the American.
That was one of
the hardest moments of my life.
Being in front of the crowd.
Twenty-five thousand people
cheering against me.
Enemy territory. In the UK.
Not knowing
what I was getting myself into.
And then, the first round,
I get popped in the face hard.
My nose is gushing blood.
My legs give out.
Sensory overload.
Everything is one giant blur.
My body was shutting down.
My mind wanted to tell me to stop.
Stop. Stop. Stop.
I felt like I was dying.
And...
I fucking loved it.
Some other element of me took over.
- Animal instinct just kicked in.
- Deji is rocked.
Jake Paul's looking for the big punch
to end this.
The referee's gonna step in...
The towel has been thrown in
by Deji's corner.
And Jake Paul is your winner!
I didn't realize
how much he wanted to make me proud...
...until after
my split-decision loss to KSI.
It was... It was the weirdest thing, man.
It was, you know, a really close fight.
Weird call.
KSI ended up winning,
and I immediately
just chalked it up to the game.
Took the L on the chin. Whatever.
But it really affected Jake.
He was in the locker room crying.
I know. I love you
more than anyone in this room.
- I don't think love is all you need.
- I know.
I had wondered why.
It was because he wanted it so bad for me.
He wanted it more than I did.
He wants the absolute best for me,
as I want the absolute best for him.
I love Logan
more than anyone in this world.
And so for... for me to see him lose,
you know, i... it just sucked.
And I'm not playin' around.
I'm taking this sport
more seriously than anybody.
So stay tuned. I'm...
I'm finna get these fuckin' knockouts!
Team Paul. Join it now.
I would say, for Jake, teaming up with
Nakisa Bidarian was brilliant on his part
because Nakisa used to be
the CFO of... of the UFC.
He got a bird's-eye view
of the business of fighting.
They've been together
for several years now,
and it seems like every time,
they're just leveling up.
He's not the guy who does interviews.
Lord knows I've asked him.
He was the guy behind the scenes,
and Jake did all the front-facing stuff.
Someone told me
there's this kid who's a YouTuber,
who also wants to box.
It quickly became apparent to me
that there was a unique opportunity here
to disrupt fight sports.
Not just boxing but also MMA.
He had 45 million people
that consume his content.
So if we go and turn this into a fighter,
wow, what a competitive advantage
versus any other fighter that's out there.
From the first meeting, I said to him,
"Unless you learn the craft
and the skills of boxing,
I'm not the right person to spend time
on this path together with you."
"Because for you to achieve
what I think is possible,
you can't be a rapper and a YouTuber,
uh, and a dancer and a prankster
and a boxer."
"You gotta choose one."
And that was kinda the start
of our evolution together.
I was sick of not being respected.
I was sick of YouTube.
I was sick of the process.
I was like, "Yo, I'm done doing YouTube."
"I'm stopping uploading."
"I'm not making any more content."
The reason for moving to Puerto Rico
was this is the best place to train.
I walk outside of my house,
do a four-mile run.
No cars. No traffic signals.
Like, it's the perfect loop.
Perfect nature. Meditation. Peaceful.
And then the boxing gym
is right down the street.
And it's awesome
to live here with my brother, you know,
and to be close to him,
and perfect for boxing.
Boxing reinvigorated something
inside of me.
It made me feel alive again.
Like I had something to work for.
I think in the YouTube world,
not only was I not making progress,
I was hurting myself.
I was going the opposite way.
For the longest time,
I... I didn't like myself.
I wasn't happy.
And so when I got into something
where I could slowly
start to make progress,
it brought back happiness in my life.
And boxing gave me that again.
He definitely found something
with boxing that, I think, gave him worth,
which he hadn't, you know, making
stupid insignificant vlogs on YouTube.
In the world I was living in,
I was on top.
I was getting a bunch of views.
I knew what I was doing.
I had a big ego.
Then I step into the boxing gym,
all of that goes out the door.
Get in the ring with one of these guys,
they'll beat your ass.
It is
an incredibly humbling experience
when you get the shit kicked out of you
by some guy you never heard of,
in a spa session on Wednesday night.
But it's incredibly rewarding
to get broken down in that way.
This shit is 100%, bro.
Every camp cost a million dollars.
I don't know how he playin' with that.
He could be on a yacht with some chicks.
Turning it up.
Popping bottles in the club.
He's getting punched every day.
Right now, uh, 14 days away
from the toughest test of my career,
Tommy Fury.
This is the first time I'm fighting
a real professional boxer.
He comes from a legendary bloodline.
His dad was a professional boxer.
His brother was the former
heavyweight champion of the world.
So this fight, this is a massive risk
that most fighters have never taken
this early on in their career.
Today we have,
uh, just a little shadowboxing.
Going through some strategy for the fight.
Up, up! Aim in!
Bounce. Watch your feet!
Jake Paul, I mean he's tough,
he has a great chin,
he has speed,
he has punching power in both hands.
This guy, he's invested 100%,
not just financially
but physically and mentally.
My name is Ocean Interbeing,
and I am Jake's longevity specialist
and, um, stretch therapist.
So I do, like,
all that kind of ninja healing work.
I kinda stumbled across
the psychedelic healing state.
The guys I was working with,
they were, like, burners and PhDs.
So... And they did yoga.
So it's just kinda scientific.
I have a breath work coach,
as well, to guide me through meditations.
His name is Lukis Mac.
We have these ceremonies, as a team,
where we charge up our energy
as a collective.
And my teammates send me energy
through the ether
and send me their visualization
and send me their strength and courage.
It's such a fuckin' dangerous fight.
That could potentially derail everything
for the rest of his life.
That's why it concerns me.
Jake, he's only been boxing
for three years.
Man, like, he's so new to this sport.
I saw the opportunity
to create a UFC-like platform for boxing,
with Jake as the anchor
and the face of it.
He knows marketing really well,
and he understands business,
so together we've been able
to have this great partnership.
Nakisa is my business partner.
He's a numbers genius.
Knows the fight game
like the back of his hand.
And together we make an incredible team.
Me being a promoter
and being a boxer go hand in hand.
It's all one harmony.
It's one song. It's one dance.
When we first started
working together,
we talked about the business strategy
of how we engage different constituencies
to be interested in your fights.
So his first professional fight,
he chose a fellow YouTuber.
I got another fight against AnEsonGib.
He was the next UK YouTuber to go after.
We knew it would get a ton of publicity.
Tonight,
he makes his professional debut.
Here is the American YouTube sensation...
...Jake Paul!
Oh!
Big right hand that lands.
He's hurt. Gib is hurt!
Oh! He's down again!
Jake Paul with a first-round destruction
of AnEsonGib!
Boxing is kind of
a hoity-toity sport,
so, initially, I think
the old guard boxing community
kinda looked down on
what these kids were doing.
The old guard didn't understand,
didn't respect, didn't embrace.
"What is he? What is this?"
Like, "Is this boxing?
Is this entertainment? Is it a circus?"
A lot of these YouTube guys
are thinking that it's a joke.
You know, to make it
kind of like a circus act is not cool.
There were tons of boxing purists
saying like, "No."
Trying to protect their sport.
They didn't know
how much this sport meant to me.
They didn't know my plans.
From there,
there was a process of figuring out,
"Can we keep elevating the level
of competition every single time?"
People were like,
"Fight a real athlete,
not just these YouTubers."
I was like, "All right.
Nate Robinson's talking shit."
"Is buff. Is fast."
"I'll fight him."
When he fought Nate Robinson,
that was shocking for many people
that a YouTuber
was fighting a professional athlete.
There were literally articles that said,
"It's irresponsible to put this YouTuber
in there with this unbelievable athlete."
- Oh, bro!
- Let me stand
Wow, Snoop Dogg is...
is singing the hymns.
Nothing funny about what's happenin'
with Nate Robinson. He's tryin' to get...
- Goodnight Irene.
- Oh no! That's it!
Mamma mia! The Problem Child!
Then he knocked out
the unbelievable athlete, viciously.
Then articles said it was irresponsible
to put the NBA athlete in there
with the YouTuber
who's learning how to box.
Where the fuck
Should I really even start?
People don't realize
it's a business first.
It's an entertainment first.
And the better you are at marketing,
the more entertaining you are,
the more people are gonna buy your fights.
You know, that's where
"the Problem Child" came from.
I've always had that shit-talkin' nature.
Growing up, all the uncles
would be talking shit to each other,
yelling at each other,
insulting each other.
And so it's just always been a part of me.
Jake is one of those guys.
He doesn't mind being the bad guy.
And what did he do?
Which I thought was a brilliant move.
He didn't just pick a fight
with one good guy,
he picked a fight with an entire sport.
He said, "All right, let me call out MMA.
No one's fighting these MMA guys."
"And see if I can get every MMA fan,
every MMA promoter, every MMA coach,
every MMA fighter on the planet
to talk about me and hate me."
And it worked!
Yeah.
Dana, pay your fighters more.
Give them healthcare, you scumbag.
Greedy, old, lonely, bald bitch!
Dana White diss-track out now.
Got my Dana White piata. About to...
When Jake
started attacking Dana White,
we said, "Okay,
what's the next right step?"
"Here's an MMA guy, Ben Askren,
who isn't an amazing striker
but has never been knocked out by punches,
has great championship pedigree."
I wanna fight
the biggest names in the sport.
UFC fighters like Ben Askren.
Put them in a ring
and go head-to-head with them.
Yes, Mr. Jake Paul, I do accept.
I'm gonna make a whole bunch of money
to beat up a guy
who is pretending to be an athlete.
Hilarious, buddy.
Stand up straight when I'm talking to you.
Slouchin' like a bitch.
- Bring it in, guys.
- Let's go, baby!
- How many days?
- Twenty-two!
- How many days?
- Twenty-two!
- One, two, three, win!
- Let's fucking go!
Promotion, it's an art.
Everything's a storyline
to engage the audience.
I utilize the most powerful tool
in the world, the phone,
to create those storylines,
daily, two times daily, three times daily.
Tweets flying out.
Prank calling my opponents' coaches.
Making TikToks.
Shit-talking their whole family.
Roasting them.
Ben Askren, is it true
that you play Napoleon Dynamite?
- Yes.
- You fucked up, Ben.
And April 17th,
I promise to make you go down in history...
...as the world's worst
UFC fighter.
I stepped in a cage with trained killers.
Guys who did this for a living.
Jake Paul is a YouTube star.
Jake Paul isn't a fuckin' boxer.
This guy's a fuckin' YouTube kid.
I'll bet a million dollars...
- Oh, here we go.
- ...that he loses this fuckin' fight.
- Dana White!
- What?!
It's literally a video game
that I get to play in real life.
Oh, the whole MMA world hates me.
All of these UFC people hate me.
The boxing purists hate me.
So they're gonna tune in,
wanting and paying
to hopefully see me get knocked out.
Jake Paul sparred
with former world champion Jean Pascal...
Get my money, Jake.
Get my motherfuckin' money!
- Get my motherfuckin' money, Jake!
- Holy shit!
Get my motherfuckin' money!
What?!
- No!
- What?!
It's over!
Ooh!
Jake Paul!
Oh!
Oh! Oh my God!
Jake Paul just rocked Askren.
Fuck!
Wow! The Problem Child! Argh!
Take him seriously, I guess.
Who's next? Let's go!
Tonight,
making his boxing debut,
former UFC
Welterweight Champion of the World...
...Tyron Woodley!
The crowd, electric.
The action, underway.
Paul... A jab... Another jab by Paul.
I think we can finally
put to rest the question,
"Is he a fighter?" I think, tonight,
he's proving he is a fighter.
- Right uppercut.
- And still undefeated...
...the Problem Child,
Jake Paul!
How 'bout this? We are back.
Jake Paul, Tyron Woodley 2.
I got a gift for you.
I got you a gift.
- For...
- What do we have?
It's a Rolex.
You're giving this to him, why?
'Cause it's time for me to knock him out.
Showtime!
Just stepping through the...
No, stay out!
Give it up. Give it up. Give it up.
I don't know
what the fuck is going on.
My little brother,
a fucking random YouTube kid from Ohio,
is knocking out
the greatest combat sports fighters ever.
What... Wha... How do you process that?
As a result of that knockout,
Jake became an overnight sensation.
Jake Paul's entry in the world of boxing
has gone from strength to strength.
Who has knocked out
more UFC veterans than Jake Paul?
Look, this is an MMA champion.
- Knocked out cold.
- Paul scored a brutal knockout.
He got him with a right hook.
It was bad! He hit him so hard, dude.
Say what you will
about the Problem Child, he delivers.
- 1.3 million pay-per-view buys.
- Oh my God.
- At how much?
- Fifty dollars.
Oh my fucking God.
You headlined
a $60-million pay-per-view fight.
Oh my God.
Doesn't feel like
a little brother anymore.
He's done things that I have not
and will not and cannot do.
He's his own fucking entity.
I love what he's doing.
Promotion's off the chart.
He's hilarious, brash.
One of the smartest marketers
the fucking sport has ever seen.
Nurse!
I broke my back
carrying the last five fights' promotion.
- You're used to this.
- My opponents never sell shit.
- Mouth-to-mouth?
- It hurts!
- Mouth-to-mouth?
- These motherfuckers never sell shit!
How do you feel
about YouTube fighters?
Do you think they belong in the sport?
Well, listen. My ego says so many things.
Forbes said you made
$40 million last year in boxing.
But my reality is
boxing was pretty much a dying sport.
Jake Paul's fight
brought in $75 million this weekend.
The biggest pay-per-view event
of the year.
Jake Paul, him and his brother, man.
These guys have brought boxing
back to life.
I know it's hard to believe.
Twenty-five million views?
Boxing's going back
thanks to the YouTube boxers.
Jake said,
"Hey, I wanna start a fighters' union."
I said, "Listen,
I'm not the guy for that."
"I'm not trying to be the face
of a fighters' union with you."
The old guard, the Dana Whites,
these old promoters and capitalists
prey on young fighters.
They don't give a fuck about you.
So I want there to be a fighters' union.
To demand long-term healthcare,
to demand fighter minimums
for boxers and MMA fighters.
I've been in the gym,
and I've seen how hard these guys work
and how mistreated they are.
So, you know,
I wanna create a fighters' union.
Jake was calling out the beloved promoter
of the UFC, Dana White,
and he was poking them
and talking about their business.
This is the most dangerous sport
in the world,
and the UFC, you know,
makes billions of dollars a year,
and they're only paying their fighters
15% of that.
But then I noticed that there was
a consistent diminishing of Jake Paul
by Dana White.
They went from, "That fight was fixed"
to "He's on steroids."
That was really the breaking point
for me to say, "Okay, Jake."
"Let's have a focus
on getting fighters paid more."
"Let's have a focus on giving women
the opportunity in boxing."
Boom.
Enter Amanda Serrano,
one of the greatest fighters ever.
For the longest time,
no one promoted her the right way.
Amanda Serrano was fighting
for a decade and not making much money,
wasn't getting the attention
and respect she deserved.
Well look at her now, headlining MSG,
making seven figures.
The highest in women's boxing history.
So out with the old, in with the new,
and it's gonna take some time,
but the revolution has started.
Stop asking me about Jake Paul.
I don't give a shit. Anderson Silva.
We honestly need to start talking again
about hi... this guy as the GOAT.
One of the greatest of all time.
Possibly even the greatest of all time.
And I fuckin' guarantee you this,
you ain't gonna see Jake Paul
calling Anderson Silva out.
That I fuckin' promise you. Jake?
Jake?
Jake?
Guess who?
Jake Paul is facing
his toughest test in his career.
Anderson Silva, one of
the greatest MMA fighters of all time.
To tell you the truth,
there are some on Jake's team
who advised him not to take this fight.
I think he's a little bit crazy.
Massive fight coming up.
We have Jake Paul, Anderson Silva,
one of the greatest UFC athletes ever.
Yes, Jake Paul is going to box
Anderson Silva.
This is a real-ass fight right here.
There's real stakes
in the future of Jake Paul,
because it could go badly right here.
Dude, let's say he knocks Jake Paul out,
potentially even viciously.
Real bad shit could happen to a guy
who may not be ready for it.
Fight's gonna be real bad for him.
Real bad for him.
- How you feelin'?
- Good. Just chillin'.
Uh, are you and Jake
on good terms?
The last time I checked,
you guys weren't, like, speaking.
I think we're good, but I didn't think
we were bad when it went bad.
You know what I'm saying?
When he shut me off, there was no warning.
It was weird.
So you guys are good now,
but you haven't talked about it?
Just gotta tell him you love him.
Fuck Jake Paul! Fuck Jake Paul!
Jake's birthday,
we all flew to Utah, in this cabin.
Jake was pretty fucked up. So was my dad.
It was a big group of people there.
And Jake mentioned my dad abusing him
as a... as a child.
They got in a huge argument.
And it hurt Jake so much
that my dad refused to acknowledge
the physical hardship
that he put us through when we were young.
We've been through some shit, dude.
It wasn't fun.
It was fucking torture, bro.
But when you survive that kind of shit,
you become tough as fuck.
Jake is still traumatized to this day
about how my dad treated him.
And they still don't get along
like they should.
Fuckin' get over it, Jake! I'm sorry!
Look what has happened in your life!
I have a hard time understanding
why the... the trauma from Jake's childhood
still affects him,
knowing the monster that it created
and what that monster
is doing in his life.
A unanimous decision
in favor of the winner
and still undefeated,
the Problem Child...
...Jake Paul!
Anyone. Anytime. Anyplace.
Anyone. Anytime. Anyplace.
Real dog! Real dog!
Real dog!
Let's go!
I did not wanna fuckin' lose on Netflix.
A hundred and eighty-three countries
or some shit. I'm not fuckin' losing.
Oh my God.
Argh! Let's go!
Six and oh, baby. Six and oh.
What you gonna say now
to the Problem Child?
Jake Paul,
you're not fighting boxers!
You're beating up on cats that don't box.
Why you calling yourself a boxer?
I am not gonna respect this clown until
he faces a real professional fighter.
Jake Paul
is not a professional boxer.
If he fought a boxer,
it would not go well.
In boxing, my goal is to have
some of the biggest pay-per-views
in the history of the sport.
After Silva,
it was back to the drawing board.
Because with the right opponent,
we could sell
a million pay-per-views, for sure.
Someone has to have a name.
They have to be a way tougher opponent
than my last one.
There has to be a real risk.
Now, do they bring something to the table
as far as promotion?
Are they exciting? Are they entertaining?
Are they likeable?
Will people be on their side?
But most important here...
the storyline.
Everyone said to Jake Paul...
Their number-one criticism to me is,
"Fight a real boxer."
So I'm just taking
all of these storylines...
- That's fire.
- ...using them to my advantage.
Yeah, it's really good.
Just a couple of small notes.
To try and make
the biggest money fight there is.
Beautiful day for a walk.
Hey! Um, why are you with him?
He hasn't even fought a real boxer yet.
Jake Paul should be fighting
a real fighter.
He has to face real opponents.
Not somebody like Woodley!
Jake! When you gonna fight a real boxer?
I'm not gonna respect Jake Paul
until he faces a professional fighter.
Fighting non-boxers!
I am not impressed.
Hey, is that Jake Paul?
Hey, fight a real boxer, pussy.
Babe! Babe! What's wrong? What's wrong?
I dreamt everyone was telling me
to fight a real boxer.
Oh, it's Nakisa, my manager.
Hello?
No!
The talk is over.
Finally, the moment
we all have been waiting for,
Jake Paul versus Tommy Fury.
Sunday night, under the lights
at breathtaking Diriyah.
Great things
come out of crazy situations,
and this Jake Paul,
Tommy Fury thing is crazy.
On paper, it's crazy.
But look at the people
flockin' 'ere to see it.
It's the biggest fight in the world!
It's global.
This little guy is knocking out guys
he's not supposed to knock out
and brings 70 million to each fight.
That's insane!
You just don't see that in fighting.
That's for big Hollywood stars.
You know, that's the thing
that makes it interesting.
Ladies and gentlemen,
this fight is for real.
I'm joined here by Jake Paul,
the Problem Child,
who's on his phone right now.
I'm... I'm live-streaming.
On Instagram.
I'm just getting the viewers
to go over to YouTube.
At the very end,
a man that needs no introduction,
John Fury.
If you understand
conventional boxing like I do,
it's a different world
to what Jake Paul's seen.
You can't cross over
to professional boxing overnight
and beat people who've spent
their whole life doin' it.
We're professionals. Boxin' is what we do.
And believe me,
there's no way in this entire world
my son would disgrace
our great champion, Tyson Fury.
Ladies and gentlemen,
the WBC Champion of the World, Tyson Fury.
Tyson! Tyson!
Tyson put this family on the map.
In terms of boxing,
we're here, and Jake Paul's here.
He's a YouTube boxer.
This guy don't got no legs.
He's top-heavy as shit.
He look like
the Michelin Man or somethin'.
And he's gonna get into the deep waters
and drowned, and I promise that.
Jake Paul has got a way
of getting under people's skin.
He gets personal. He starts bringing
family into the equation,
and he can be a naughty boy.
He keeps on saying it's an easy fight.
You know, knocking me out.
He comes from the bloodline.
Been doing it his whole life.
I just wanna know, Tommy, do you think
this is gonna be an easy fight?
Look me in the eyes.
You're getting put to sleep
inside four rounds.
As time goes on,
with people like Jake Paul,
with his personality,
they start believing in their own egos.
They got all these people telling them
they can do this, they can do that.
I think we make a deal, then.
If you win, I'll pay you double.
But if I win,
I take everything that I'm paying you.
He's trying to play the promoter.
He's trying to play the businessman.
And the fighter.
When you got a man in front of you
who is just playing the fighter,
you're in for a dangerous game.
Deal or no deal?
Since you're so confident.
- Deal or no deal?
- Take it.
- Answer the question!
- What you gonna do?
Answer the question!
You've dealt. You've got a deal.
All or nothing. All or nothing.
I have no problem
taking the bet against him.
When I get him on those ropes,
I'll be looking to take his head off.
Come 'ere.
To be honest, I'm pretty scared
what's gonna happen to Jake.
Jake could well end up
in the hospital tomorrow night.
Ooh. This is nice.
It's been a minute since we've
caught up, so where are we right now,
and what's going on?
Well, you guys are in my bathroom,
in Saudi Arabia.
In just a matter of hours,
my brother's gonna be fighting Tommy Fury.
I've never had this many people
in the bathroom while I'm bathing.
Your brother
seems to have it frequently!
Bro, that dude has
so many people around him.
- Yes! Nice.
- Hell yeah. Let's go.
- What was it?
- Eighty-six.
- Hey!
- My brother's thin.
- Just two more pounds. That's it.
- That's it, baby.
Should Jake lose,
I think he'll have a hard time
being able to come back from that.
The dude has all his eggs
in one basket, man!
All his eggs are in one basket!
Weight's on point. We're on the way
to the weigh-in right now.
Tune in live.
It's our last time being face-to-face.
I try to convey
losing is possible.
Have you looked defeat in the face
and acknowledged it?
That's a demon in itself.
If he gets exposed,
do people keep buying into him?
Shit, dog, I don't know.
Would he go back to Disney?
See if he can play Dirk again?
Jake Paul,
when we take this shit in the ring,
it's over for ya. Ya getting knocked out.
You cannot win it! Argh!
Argh! Argh!
Damn, he just keeps winning.
He just keeps proving himself right.
At what point do I just stop, you know,
denying the greatness that is Jake Paul?
- Did you hear that?
- What?
- Cristiano.
- Ronaldo's here.
And there is
Cristiano Ronaldo.
He's the biggest superstar on the planet.
Well, next to him.
Where? Let's go see him.
To be honest with ya,
I know we've had to play our part,
Tommy's had to play his part,
but Jake and his brother...
I'm in awe of the guys.
They're children.
I'm thinking, "Check out
the business brains on these guys."
John Fury!
John, huge fan, bro. Huge fan.
At the end of the day,
who'd have thought
it would've been this big?
And they've made us part of it.
I had to hold back emotions.
I, Jake Joseph Paul,
will knock out, defeat,
and embarrass Tommy Fury
live in Saudi Arabia.
You know
what the through line is here?
Me, Jake,
Greg Paul, John Fury,
Tommy Fury, and Tyson Fury.
We all got some screws loose, bro.
The Furys and the Pauls, now,
are locked in together in folklore.
It was divine intervention.
This thing was meant to happen.
My brother,
come back victorious tonight.
Or come back
on your fucking shield, all right?
History's written.
If it's written
Tommy should win, he'll win.
If it's written that Jake Paul wins,
Jake Paul wins.
It's destiny, and no one can stop destiny.
Let's get this party started!
Look where your arms are.
Get it, baby.
Step up! Step up!
Step up! You got this!
Get that jab! Get that jab!
Jake Paul using his jab.
As we near... A right hand to the body
by Paul. Back comes Tommy Fury.
End of the first round.
Action heating up.
And round number two begins.
All Fury's, all of his knockouts,
have come in two rounds or under.
Both men seem to be relaxed.
A stiff jab by Tommy Fury.
Overhand right over the top, connecting,
but Tommy Fury ate it well.
Logan Paul, how do you feel
he's doing so far in the fight?
He's doing great.
He definitely got that last round.
Tommy, if you can hear me,
you a bitch, bro, and you gassing out.
You a bitch!
The whole Fury family, a bitch!
Put him down!
I pissed him off.
I pissed him off, Goddamn it.
As Jake Paul went forward,
he ate a couple right hands.
Stay in control!
Yeah. Yeah, Jake!
Bring it to him! Bring it to him, Jake!
That'll end
the fifth round. Three more rounds to go.
Move!
Left hook! That sent...
That wobbled Tommy Fury.
Fury might be hurt!
If you look at this fight,
you have to ask, "Who is 'the YouTuber, '
and who is 'the boxer'?"
'Cause if you look at it,
Jake Paul is showing
he is definitely a seasoned boxer.
Close fight between these two,
as Jake Paul
continues to pursue Tommy Fury.
A series of three right hands...
...that found their marks.
Go get this motherfucker!
Let's go!
He's trying to take everything. Let's go!
Final round!
Eighth and final round
between Jake Paul and Tommy Fury.
We have us a close fight.
Who will prevail here
in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia?
Oh my goodness!
Got a knock-down.
That could be significant.
If there was any doubt
if Jake Paul would be able
to hold his own,
he has answered that
with resounding fashion.
Absolutely.
He just cannot afford
to get touched at this point.
But back comes Tommy Fury!
It is clear that Jake Paul and Tommy Fury
were meant for each other!
That's it.
The game is over.
Very impressive fight.
Valiant effort by both guys.
Nothing was left in the gym.
They laid it all out right here.
- It's close though, man.
- If we're lucky, it's a draw.
The winner by split decision...
...Tommy TNT Fury!
Tommy Fury hands Jake Paul
the first defeat of his career!
You're not the man I thought you was.
You're tough. You'll go a long way.
You started three years ago,
I started when I was six.
I've nothing but love and respect for you.
It was a great build-up.
Great fight. Thank you.
Want some ice on that eye, baby?
Yeah, I just didn't fight good.
I didn't, like,
capitalize on my moments, but
it's all good.
- Sorry about that.
- Don't be sorry.
Don't you apologize to us.
Yeah, don't fuckin... Jake.
Never apologize for getting in the ring.
- Can we cut that?
- I wasn't rolling.
I don't want that footage on YouTube.
This is just for doc shit with Netflix.
Fuck that.
Look how far you came in this shit, man.
Look how far you came.
No, Jake. Jake! Look how far you came!
Jake Paul, he's not a villain.
He's an antihero. He's not a villain.
He does hero shit, but he just don't go
by heroes' laws, you know?
- Do you relate to that?
- Yeah! Yeah.
Listen...
he did more for boxing
than some of the champions did.
I'm a fan of people
that know how to put asses in seats.
Those are the guys I look up to.
I like to see him talking shit.
The blond-haired,
blue-eyed cute kid is getting mean.
"Fuck you. You can't fight.
You piece of shit."
"You're nothing. You're the..."
That's beautiful.
That sells papers.
You're entertaining us.
You're the champ. You're my hero.
So we gotta keep this guy bright
'cause he's gonna save boxing
as long as he continues to fight.
He... He got the light.
You know what I mean?
He's touched. He got the light.
This is fucked up.
I don't know how Jake operates
a... as an emotional being.
I don't know what's happening,
and it's really hard for me to comprehend.
I think he's not as universally likeable.
He's much easier to hate
than he is to love.
He's a problem child.
He is the Problem Child.
He's been a problem child his whole life.
All right, it's rolling.
- All right.
- Let's go, baby.
- Let's work!
- Let's go, baby!
Netflix Untold! I'm back, baby!
The comeback starts now.
We got a new team, new mindset,
new training schedule. And guess what?
- Let's go!
- I'm knocking this motherfucker out!
Let's go!
