WWE's Logan Paul Says Dillon Danis Must Pay $100K If He Withdraws from Boxing Fight

Logan Paul revealed Tuesday that Bellator MMA fighter Dillon Danis will owe a hefty fee if he pulls out of their scheduled boxing match.

Speaking on his Impaulsive podcast (h/t Mike Bohn of MMAJunkie.com), Paul said a clause is in place that states Danis must pay $100,000 if he drops out of the fight for a non-legitimate reason:

"I'm convinced he's not going to show up," Paul said. "The clause is this: If he pulls out because of some sort of injury that he fakes, a doctor of our choosing has to verify the injury. And then if he is indeed faking it, he has to pay $100,000. There is a pull-out clause."

Paul vs. Danis is scheduled for Oct. 14 at AO Arena in Manchester, England, as part of a DAZN pay-per-view.

Danis, who is a longtime training partner and friend of UFC star Conor McGregor, is 2-0 in Bellator, although he hasn't fought since 2019.

He had been scheduled to face YouTuber KSI in an exhibition boxing match in London in January, but just 10 days before the fight, Danis pulled out.

As a result, Bohn noted that few in the world of combat sports expect Danis to go through with the fight against Paul, including Paul himself.

Despite his lack of confidence in Danis following through, Paul is hopeful it happens, saying:

"He's broke. This guy sucks. He's a parasite of the MMA and combat world. That's why I took the fight initially. If he does show up, I get to be the one. I get to be the one to take an eraser and remove him from existence. His name will never be uttered again. He'll die that night, twice."

Paul's brother, Jake Paul, has enjoyed instant success in boxing, going 7-1 in eight professional fights since 2020. Jake has beaten a bevy of former MMA stars, including Nate Diaz, who he defeated by unanimous decision this past weekend.

Logan's only professional fight was a split-decision loss to his now-business partner KSI in 2019, although he went on to face undefeated boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr. in an exhibition fight in 2021.

Since then, Logan has been primarily focused on his burgeoning professional wrestling career in WWE.

Although Logan has only had a handful of matches in WWE, he is a natural, and few have ever experienced the type of immediate success he has in the world of sports entertainment.

On the same night Jake Paul beat Diaz in a boxing match, Logan Paul wrestled in the opening match at SummerSlam, beating Ricochet thanks to the use of brass knuckles.

It seems WWE will continue to be Paul's main venture outside of his podcast, but boxing remains on his radar, and measures have been taken to help ensure that he and Danis lock horns in October.
