Youtube stars KSI vs Logan Paul - Who?

This is 'Rocky' for my 10 year old. Load of bollocks, but anybody have any clue how it hits these numbers?

[Boxerbeetle]

They’re massive with the yoof, innit

[Stuarty]

Can't quite get why they're so popular. My 10 year old boy watches the pricks and asked me to buy the fight for him. There's no way I'm buying it but he can try Kodi and I'll have a look as there's nothing else on.

The two of them come across a right pair of fuckin helmets! Each to their own I suppose....

My son tells me that "youtubers" are massive celebrities for today's youth.

I suppose if back in the 70's or 80's, people like McEnroe and Connors; Coe and Ovett; Revie and Clough; or McCartney and Lennon had decided to settle their diffeRences in the ring, it would have drawn a crowd. This is today's equivalent.

Pewdipie has FOUR BILLION hits on YouTube....

[Nightmare Roy]

They are what marketers call social influencers, it's amazing some of these helmets earn £10m plus a year out of their Youtube channels.

Which is the modern way of bullshitting figures to make them more impressive. Lots of views for sure, some videos getting 9million, most getting 3.5-6million. Add them all up and it probably does hit that four billion number but its the same people viewing it. Plus some people watch more than once and count as a hit each time.

It is like saying 1.4billion people watched Eastenders last year. No, 7m watched each episode, and there was 200 episodes.

Good gig if you can get it! My boy is watching it on his iPad just now. I've not had a look at it yet. One of my mates said Michael Buffer is doing the ring announcing

I watched a programme on that shít recently Fuckin scrotums the lot of em

It was the folks family after they'd been killed saying 'he wasn't in to gangs' etc... Then there's a rap video of the goon with a bulldog and a bag of talcum powder giving it the big I am!

I’ve got my 10 yr old telling me the 2 time former HW champion Shannon Briggs is there. I told him he’s a drug cheat, and he’s been shite for my lads whole lifetime. He said “I don’t care, I wanna see his next fight”....

... could 100 million kids force Camp Eddie to pit AJ vs the YouTube sensation Shannon Briggs?

Fackin kill me now

My ten year old just ran in the room 10 mins ago asking if I knew who Briggs was

I told him Lennox Lewis and Vitali Klitschko made him their bitch and he is a roid nut

[Exoddus]

My siblings an I grew up on VHS tapes of Van Damme and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Kids these days grow up watching these idiots on YouTube. I don't understand it either. Just people being over overexuberant shouting at the camera while doing stupid stuff.

[maverick23]

There’s no way it’ll get 100m buys! That would make it the highest grossing fight ever I think.

From what I read from the promoter they were looking at getting at least a couple of million buys which is still crazy!

[Stuarty]

I walks in to the spare room and my boy is standing shadow boxing in front of the mirror watching it! Yet when I try and get him to watch fights he has the attention span of a fuckin goldfish!

There was some prick with a big jacket on rapping in the ring there Brrrap brrrrap blud

[jlh]

750k watching it on one the YouTube channels. Costing £7.50. Not bad at all.

That's only watching. More will have paid but are only going to watch when main event starts.

These lot had serious talent and were masters in their worthwhile field.

Today’s yoots seem dumber than any previous generation. Bloggers and vloggers held up as idols...something has gone majorly wrong!

I kind of hope one of them gets hurt

[sweetscience]

I walked passed MEN Arena at 1pm today

100s of gimps waiting around the tradesman entrance, 7 hours in advance

they weren't little kids either, all circa 18/20 year old

id couldn't containment disappointment in them, whilst shouting out 'loooossseerrrs' ala Lloyd in Dumb & Dumber

[BobD'Mello]

Nobody doing a RBR?

[KiwiRider]

It would be OK if it got the yoof into proper boxing. But it won't.
Try explaining to your 13 year old about the belts and who is champion, and watching their eyes glaze over...

To be fair, it is a bit ridiculous when you need to go into a 10 minute explanation when someone asks who the heavyweight champ is
