KSI explains why he\u2019s so \u201cp*ssed off\u201d by DAZN helping Kingpyn KSIKSI has laid out why he\u2019s annoyed with DAZN for giving a \u201chelping hand\u201d Kingpyn Boxing as the promotion faced bankruptcy. After KSI\u2019s Misfits Boxing signed a five-year deal with DAZN earlier in 2023, the influencer-boxing scene is continuing to get bigger and bigger \u2014 with events featuring some of the internet\u2019s biggest stars going blow for blow becoming more common. While Misfits continues to push the scene forward more than anybody else, competitors have since entered the space, such as Kingpyn Boxing \u2014 who earlier this year kicked off the first influencer boxing tournament. However, leading up to the second event, the company seemed to be in turmoil \u2014 reportedly facing bankruptcy according to Happy Punch Boxing. That was until DAZN stepped in, giving Kingpyn a \u201chelping hand\u201d to allow the semi-final event to still go forward. However, it\u2019s fair to say KSI wasn\u2019t pleased with DAZN helping Misfits\u2019 rival, calling the circumstances \u201cannoying.\u201d Now, the YouTube star has explained he\u2019s \u201cp*ssed off\u201d by the situation. KSI reveals why he\u2019s so \u201cp*ssed off\u201d with DAZN In a July 14 SideCast episode, KSI and the Sidemen touched on the Kingpyn situation, where Miniminter disputed the claim that Kingpyn were going bankrupt. KSI then elaborated, clarifying Kingpyn were in a tough spot financially in DAZN stepped in. \u201cNah look, financially they were struggling and DAZN gave them a helping hand,\u201d he said. The YouTube star continued, explaining why he\u2019s so annoyed with DAZN giving the promotion a hand. \u201cI\u2019m pissed, nah obviously it pisses me off. First, we had Jake Paul coming on to DAZN with his shitty event. \u201cI don\u2019t own DAZN, but I feel like I\u2019m exclusive, you know what I mean? I\u2019m one of the reasons why you know\u2026 I feel like I\u2019m helping DAZN quite a lot. I feel like I add value. He added: \u201cI don\u2019t know, it\u2019s just annoying having Jake Paul and then now Kingpyn.\u201d The rest of the Sidemen then explained how it\u2019s actually smart of DAZN to give Kingpyn a platform \u2014 allowing the sport streaming service to dominate the entire influencer boxing scene.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
