We can officially put Logan Paul on the Drake Curse alert.
Paul is a massive -650 favorite at FanDuel Sportsbook to beat opponent Dillon Danis in a social media influencer boxing match Saturday night.
He is also a -154 favorite to win by KO/TKO at FanDuel.
Drake received slightly worse odds on an offshore sportsbook, but he placed an $850,000 bet at -159 odds that would win him $501,500 and a total payout of $1.35 million.
This fight appeared to be in serious jeopardy Thursday when Danis blasted Paul in the face with a microphone during the pre-fight press conference.
Paul had multiple cuts above his right eyebrow, and reports state he was gushing blood afterwards.
But the fight appears like it will go on as scheduled.
Danis has been harassing Paul’s fiancée, Nina Agdal, on X for several months during the lead-up to this fight.
Danis, 30, has been posting X-rated pictures of Agdal on social media, which has resulted in the latter suing the former for the “despicable” posts.
Paul had said that with Agdal’s lawsuit he plans to garnish wages from Danis in the future.
“She’s being attacked, harassed and stalked by some predator pretending to be a fighter,” Paul said on his brother Jake Paul’s podcast, “BS w/ Jake Paul.”
Jake also noted that Danis has “about $60,000 to his name and that’s being generous.”
Estimations have Danis’ networth pinned around $3 million thanks to his social media following and a rough estimate of $250,000 made as a Bellator MMA fighter.
It is unknown what he is making on this fight, although he will not be sharing in the PPV revenue.
