Who knows. Doesn’t make it any less funny. I used to hate both the Paul brothers but I’m turning into a full on fan of them both. Their good cap bad cop thing is really working for them. I just hope the got your hat nonsense doesn’t somehow cost Logan his chance to fight and collect himself the biggest check of his life.
Its worked their entire career. Their "childishness" has always been a major factor in why they are so popular, because that naturally brings controversy. I actually quite like Logan, yeah he has done some messed up stuff in the past, but I'm not the type of person to brand a person based on their mistakes. Instead, after that big mistake he changed his view, and seemed to mature a lot. Now, I don't know if that was a business decision to save his brand, but hes got me sold on liking him.
For Jake. I can't bring myself to like him, although I'm definitely aware that his "bad boy" sort of attitude, and the more ego centric driven character out of the brothers is likely a business decision too. Its like Conor Mcgregor, I don't think he was a total arse when he first started out, I think he just understood what fans want, and how to build a fight. Exactly, what Jake has done his entire career.
Although, I do think putting up a character too long, usually results in them actually becoming that character, but I've never met them off camera, so they both could be really good dudes. Although, having acknowledged that, I can only judge them based on what I have seen, and my conclusion is I quite like Logan, hope he shocks the world with a win against Mayweather, and I'm still not very fond of Jake, and hoping that his fighting career is somewhat derailed or at least the hype behind him.
Plus, lets not kid ourselves. Most fighters need to put a front up, and act like they hate their opponent. Not just because of the fans, and building the fight, but to fight someone you need to be able to set aside any sort of affection for them, and want to actually knock them out. I don't know if any of you have sparred against friends or family, but its constantly in your mind, that you don't actually want to hurt them, even in sparring. So, an actual fight has that even greater pressure.
