In an interview on ESPN\u2019s SportsNation, the Chicago native explained that he thinks that the duo\u2019s success is due to how they embrace the drama and storylines, similar to the way the wrestling business works. CM Punk compares Logan & Jake Paul\u2019s boxing success to wrestling When asked how he feels about the Paul brothers\u2019 involvement in boxing, Punk highlighted the duality between the worlds of pro wrestling and boxing: \u201cFor lack of a better term, it\u2019s old-school pro wrestling, right? You could say they\u2019re crossing over, but there is so many similarities between the businesses.\u201d He went on to say that he respects the duo for committing to the sport and putting their bodies on the line: \u201cPeople want to see them get knocked out, they know this, but they\u2019re putting themselves out there\u2026 I\u2019ll never criticize \u2014 in a negative way or fashion \u2014 anybody who makes the walk, anybody who trains their a** off, because I did it and I know what it takes.\u201d Punk also had high praise for the brothers\u2019 business-savvy decisions and compared them to Floyd Mayweather and Ronda Rousey, who both had successful turns with the WWE after their respective fighting careers were over.
