True Geordie reveals why Jake Paul is \u201crisking everything\u201d vs. AnEsonGib Brian \u2018True Geordie\u2019 Davis has given his insight on the upcoming Jake Paul vs. AnEsonGib fight, suggesting Paul is \u201crisking everything\u201d for a chance at fighting Olajide \u2018KSI\u2019 Olatunji. 2020 is set to be a big year for YouTube boxing bouts. Logan Paul has made his intentions clear in trying to get an MMA fight off the ground, while Jake Paul has accepted AnEsonGib\u2019s challenge for the first big fight of the year. Both fighters are coming off wins on their previous cards, with Jake Paul taking down KSI\u2019s brother Oladeji \u2018Deji\u2019 Olatunji while AnEsonGib stunned Jay Swingler back in August 2018. While the name value isn\u2019t as big as KSI vs. Logan Paul, True Geordie has high hopes for what he believes is the best bout in YouTube history. With so much on the line for Paul, and nothing to lose for AnEsonGib, both parties will be going all out. It\u2019s a stark contrast to the original KSI vs. Logan Paul card where both YouTubers featured. Jake Paul was on top of the YouTube world, and was almost set on turning down a bout against Deji for the sake of fame, but now the tables have turned. \u201cJake was turning down the JJ fight initially, saying \u2018I don\u2019t need this,\u2019\u201d said TG. \u201cLet\u2019s not forget Jake was bringing in major views, he might have even been doing bigger views than JJ once upon a time. But the script has been flipped. \u201cJJ now is one of the biggest guys [on YouTube], Jake\u2019s views have clearly gone down. I know he\u2019s taken breaks and whatever but ultimately, the content has gone in a different direction and people aren\u2019t liking it as much anymore.\u201d For mobile readers, the related segment starts at 4:03. Jake Paul, who has over 20 million subscribers on YouTube, has built up a new persona on the platform, which has rubbed some fans off the wrong way. \u201cPeople aren\u2019t liking him as much once upon a time,\u201d said True Geordie. \u201cHe\u2019s a bit of a villain, and on a platform where how much people like you decide how much they watch you, it hurts your brand when people think you\u2019re a bit of an a**hole. However, that\u2019s not to say it\u2019s a bad thing. Going against the grain is what creators are having to do, and every major story has a villain. True Geordie admitted he \u201clikes\u201d that Jake Paul has changed his character on the platform. It helps build up a story line between YouTube\u2019s villain and one of its biggest underdogs. AnEsonGib went into his fight with Jay Swingler as an unknown enigma, and showed his grit to come out on top. \u201cHe\u2019s the Rocky of YouTube boxing,\u201d he said. \u201cHe isn\u2019t the one that everyone thought was the champ or the biggest name, but he\u2019s becoming the people\u2019s champ. \u201cIt\u2019s one of the biggest rises we\u2019ve ever seen on YouTube. It\u2019s an absolute unlikely hero, and I love him for the fact that he\u2019s gone \u2018f**k it, let\u2019s do this,\u2019 especially against a bigger guy.\u201d While Jake Paul\u2019s fan base dwarves AnEsonGib\u2019s, the underdog has the advantage of having almost the entire internet behind him. A loss for Jake Paul is not an option \u2014 in fact, it\u2019s quite possibly career suicide. \u201cThe whole world is probably going to be on Gibbo\u2019s side, outside of the Jake Paul fanbase, people are going to be like \u2018if he does this, scenes,\u2019\u201d he said. Read more: What we know about Jake Paul vs. AnEsonGib – \u201cJake Paul has very little to gain, and almost everything to lose,\u201d he said. \u201cHe is risking a lot just to get this fight with JJ. If he loses to Gibbo, who is the smaller guy physically and in terms of YouTube by a mile, Gibbo has then finessed him at this. He has hunted him down and forced this fight on him. In his mind, the winner has already been made up without a punch thrown. \u201cGibbo has already won by getting this fight. His profile has gone up, his subscribers have gone up, he\u2019s going to make a f**kton of money. \u201cYou just win by stepping into the ring with Jake, because Jake isn\u2019t a loved personality outside of his fan base. If you do anything to him, you\u2019re a hero, if you beat him, you\u2019re legendary.\u201d With so much on the line, and a lot to be gained for both parties, there\u2019s never been a more high-stakes YouTube fight, and that\u2019s what\u2019s got True Geordie excited. \u201cI think this fight might be the best YouTuber fight yet. I think we are getting a knockout, they aren\u2019t going to play it safe. I feel like between these two, Jake and Gibbo, there\u2019s no mercy there. I think we are getting a knockout, and we will have a decisive fight.\u201d It will all come down to January 30 for the big bout between the duo, and the internet, including True Geordie, will certainly be watching.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
