Logan Paul Is Out: Calls Off $1-Million Boxing Challenge To All NFL Stars After Getting Sketchy Phone Call From WWE Bosses During Live Stream [VIDEO]
This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.
Logan Paul agreed to box Le’Veon Bell in a $1 million winner-takes-all matchup, but it’s not happening anymore.
Paul announced on Sunday that WWE has pulled him out of the fight.
The WWE superstar landed a fight with Bell after claiming he would make light work of any NFL player, urging them to accept a $1 million challenge. Bell, who has some boxing experience, willingly obliged.
But Paul has since backed out and is putting it on WWE.
“Welp. The bosses called,” he wrote. “Turns out I’m too valuable of a WWE Superstar to be fighting bums. I want to take this opportunity to congratulate @LeVeonBell and @BreidenFehoko for their 15 minutes of relevancy. Now back to being broke and retired. I’m going back to RAW every Monday on Netflix.”
“Imagine being so dumb that you don’t know the terms of your contract… Oh wait you 100% knew them, that’s why you so confidently sold wolf tickets knowing you were never going to fight anyone.. Total b**ch s**t,” someone wrote in the comments.

Logan Paul Shares Proof Of Call From WWE
A video of Paul receiving a call from someone at WWE asking him not to fight has also surfaced online.
The caller, “Chris,” told Paul it wasn’t worth the risk.
The wrestler argued, claiming there was little chance of him getting injured while fighting a football player.
“There’s no risk,” he insisted.
They weren’t having it, however.

Of course, fans aren’t buying that the call was real either.
“They let Brock Lesnar fight in the UFC lol 😂,” someone else claimed.

It’s just unfortunate that we’re not going to see this fight unless someone gets them into the ring via AI.
