Jake Paul explains why being a YouTuber became \u201cboring\u201d for him Jake Paul, YouTube \/ Matchroom BoxingYouTube star and Team 10 founder Jake Paul is gearing up for his first-ever professional boxing debut against AnEsonGib \u2014 something that isn\u2019t as \u201cboring\u201d as vlogging has become for the internet celeb, apparently. While Paul has previously expressed a desire to move away from YouTube in light of his professional fighting career, he delved deeper into the topic on January 14, during a mini-documentary uploaded in partnership with Matchroom Boxing. In the doc, the YouTuber took fans through his current training camp with coach and former boxing pro \u201cSugar\u201d Shane Mosley, which included everything from uphill bear crawls to intense sprints at high altitude. During a quiet moment in the hot tub, Paul explained that he\u2019s come to find YouTube \u201cboring,\u201d claiming that the sport of boxing excites him more in light of the many opportunities its apparent rebirth might bring for internet stars. \u201cWhen you\u2019re progressing at something, that\u2019s always like, when you\u2019re having the most fun,\u201d he explained. \u201cIf you\u2019re doing something\u2026 you keep on doing it, it\u2019s the same exact thing, then it just gets old. It\u2019s kind of what YouTube was for me. Post every day for two years straight. Cool. Get five million views, get ten million views. ..it\u2019s just like alright, cool, I\u2019ve done this.\u201d In comparison, the youngest Paul brother finds greater allure in boxing, calling the sport an \u201cuntapped vertical\u201d ripe for the taking in terms of content and profit. \u201cThere\u2019s a huge lane for \u2018celebrities\u2019 or whatever you want to call us to make a lot of f**king noise and sell tickets,\u201d he continued. \u201cAt the end of the day it\u2019s a f**king business, and if we can sell the most tickets, we\u2019re gonna make the most money and draw the most fans.\u201d (Topic begins at 7:36 for mobile readers) Of course, Paul couldn\u2019t finish out the video without calling out his opponent, AnEsonGib, reminding him that \u201cjudgement day is coming\u201d ahead of their January 30 bout in Miami, Florida. Whether Paul will come out victorious remains to be seen, but both he and brother Logan are hellbent on becoming pro fighters, come hell or high water \u2014 even if they can\u2019t ever leave their YouTube roots behind, for good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
