Logan Paul responds to fight offer from Lionel Messi’s bodyguard and proposes forfeit
A hydration drink lawsuit could be settled by a boxing match. Logan Paul and Lionel Messi are currently locked in a legal dispute over their rival brands. YouTube - Logan Paul/ GETTYPaul has told Messi’s bodyguard to ‘pull up’ in Puerto Rico[/caption] Paul launched the hugely successful PRIME hydration with business partner KSI in 2022 before Messi entered the market with his own product, Mas +, two years later. Messi’s drink is packaged very similarly to Paul’s, yet it was the footballer’s side that fired the first legal shots by suing PRIME last October for “anti-competitive” behaviour. Mas+ accused PRIME of trying to pressure them into changing their packaging, prompting PRIME to countersue, alleging Mas+ had copied their design. Paul offered to drop the lawsuit if Messi settled their score by picking up the gloves. Messi didn’t respond, but his bodyguard Yassine Chueko, has offered to represent his boss in the ring. “Listen, Logan, I’m doing this video because a lot of people they stop me in the streets, they send me message, I get a lot of comments on Instagram about this fight,” Chueko said in an Instagram video. “So now the reverse is broken, there’s no way out. Let’s do the fight for the people. Let’s do it.” In an earlier video, Chueko said: “Messi doesn’t even know who this guy is. “If Logan really wants a fight, he can fight me, not a football player.” It took Logan a few days to respond, but when he did, he didn’t disappoint.

A hydration drink lawsuit could be settled by a boxing match.
Logan Paul and Lionel Messi are currently locked in a legal dispute over their rival brands.
Paul launched the hugely successful PRIME hydration with business partner KSI in 2022 before Messi entered the market with his own product, Mas +, two years later.
Messi’s drink is packaged very similarly to Paul’s, yet it was the footballer’s side that fired the first legal shots by suing PRIME last October for “anti-competitive” behaviour.
Mas+ accused PRIME of trying to pressure them into changing their packaging, prompting PRIME to countersue, alleging Mas+ had copied their design.
Paul offered to drop the lawsuit if Messi settled their score by picking up the gloves.
Messi didn’t respond, but his bodyguard Yassine Chueko, has offered to represent his boss in the ring.
“Listen, Logan, I’m doing this video because a lot of people they stop me in the streets, they send me message, I get a lot of comments on Instagram about this fight,” Chueko said in an Instagram video.
“So now the reverse is broken, there’s no way out. Let’s do the fight for the people. Let’s do it.”

“If Logan really wants a fight, he can fight me, not a football player.”
It took Logan a few days to respond, but when he did, he didn’t disappoint.
“It’s an MMA guy who thinks he can box, who thinks he is entitled to victory or attention because he is Messi’s bodyguard,” said
“I’ve offered people to fly out before, he doesn’t even deserve a fly out.
“I’m here in Puerto Rico, if you want to pull up to me in Puerto Rico you are more than welcome bro.”
He then proposed a suitable forfeit for the circumstances.
“When I beat your ass and that is a big when, not if, you have to drink prime,” he added.
