Controversial YouTuber Logan Paul is no stranger to calling out big-time content creators and A-List celebrities for potential boxing matches – but this time, he’s taking on a slew of the net’s biggest personalities for a massive track and field event.
On June 23, Paul put up a massive amount of $100,000 cash to anyone who could beat him in a race, calling himself “the fastest YouTuber” in a Tweet that brought out a slew of competitors.
While many top content creators and even Hollywood actors put their reputations on the line in hopes of beating Paul, no official announcement for his “race” was mentioned: that is, until June 28, when he uploaded a video that revealed a full-fledged event for the challenge.
I’m the fastest YouTuber and I’m willing to put $100,000 on it
