Rumoured fight between YouTube stars Jake and Logan Paul turns out to be reality TV show

Brothers Jake Paul and Logan Paul made social media announcements Wednesday that suggested they have a show or fight coming to HBO Max.

Calling it the "moment you've waited a decade for," the posts featured a head-to-head shot of the brothers with a March 27 date and the HBO Max logo. Further details were not included in the posts.

ESPN reported on anonymous sources that it will be a reality series rather than a boxing match.

Jake Paul and Tyson, the former heavyweight champion, broke records. Promoters said in November that the Tyson-Paul fight was the highest-grossing combat sports event ever in Texas, pulling in $18.1 million.

BetMGM said the bout was by far its most-bet boxing or mixed-martial arts fight, taking three times the number of bets and four times the money of any combat sport in its history.

Logan Paul is a part-time performer for World Wrestling Entertainment. He has been wildly successful in WWE, having claimed the United States Championship and participated in several premium live events.

It's unclear whether a fight between Logan Paul and former UFC champion Conor McGregor will happen. McGregor said in December that he was in "preliminary agreements" with the family of billionaire industrialist Mukesh Ambani to fight Logan Paul in India.
