The event was livestreamed on YouTube and brought a massive audience of 1.6 million viewers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But it wasn\u2019t until a year later that the newborn genre legitimized itself. The infamous rematch between Logan Paul and KSI drew DAZN, a then-growing sports broadcaster, into the experiment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fight was ultimately sanctioned and had estimated earnings of $150 million.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was then that Jake Paul made his debut in the ring. From 2020 to 2023, Paul\u2019s storyline for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">every fight was the same: could a YouTuber defeat an actual fighter?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But he wasn\u2019t fighting \u201cactual fighters.\u201d He was facing retired or waning legends in both mixed martial arts and boxing. That formula gave audiences massive pay-per-views, including Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz and Jake Paul vs. Anderson Silva.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The events proved so lucrative that DAZN implemented Misfits Boxing in 2022. The goal of the promotion was to host PPVs focused on content creators and influencers fighting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Misfits made an entire industry of creator-driven cards like the \u201cPrime Card,\u201d which featured Logan Paul, KSI and MMA fighter Dillon Danis in one night.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But this type of rapid growth is unsustainable because it relies solely on popularity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since the Prime Card, Misfits Boxing has struggled to draw seven-figure estimates, even when major names were tied to an event, the most recent example being Andrew Tate vs. Chase Demoor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the criticism both the program and Jake Paul have received, influencer boxing gave an unexpected spotlight to women\u2019s boxing. Another promotion, titled Paul\u2019s Most Valuable Promotions, was formed to host more gimmick fights.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But gradually, it redirected its platform into a competitive structure, one that especially benefited a division that for years was on the sport\u2019s margins.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For much of boxing\u2019s modern history, the gap between male and female bouts was immense. Women\u2019s boxing lacked major coverage, with many fights often receiving low placements on <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">undercards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everything changed after MVP and DAZN hosted Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano in 2022. For one of the first times in modern history, two female boxers headlined Madison Square Garden in a main event.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Critics acclaimed the fight, with many regarding it as the best fight ever in women\u2019s boxing. Since then, MVP has made an effort to spotlight female athletes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Subsequent events for the promoter have brought fans super-fights such as Serrano vs. Taylor III and Alycia Baumgardner vs. Leila Beaudoin, with more events set to headline in 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While much of influencer boxing\u2019s long-term effects remain to be seen, its rise may have <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">generated the financial and mainstream leverage needed to elevate overlooked divisions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From a YouTube livestream in 2018 to headlining Madison Square Garden, the genre\u2019s most lasting and positive contribution could be giving women\u2019s boxing the stage it always deserved.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Dec. 19, Netflix broadcasted YouTuber Jake Paul\u2019s boxing match against former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.\u00a0 The fight was an absurd mismatch that ended with Joshua knocking Paul out in the sixth round.
