Both men are not professional boxers. Their claim to fame is the YouTube channels. KSI, a 25-year-old Briton, has 19 million followers which he accumulated over the years by posting videos of playing video games, rapping among other things. Paul, 23-year-old American, is considered to be a prankster with 18.2 million followers.

Over 15,000 tickets were sold for the boxing match that was held in Manchester Arena. It was watched by millions on YouTube's pay-per-view channel for the fight. Both sides were hyping up the match since past six months by the means of social media, insult-filled videos, and with their brothers Jake and Deji, fighting on the undercard.

KSI and Paul fought six rounds. The judges scored a draw, giving way to a rematch that is already scheduled for February.

"I think it’s what the people want. Let’s give them a motherfucking rematch! … I feel like I won that fight, but it doesn’t matter. What happened. The rematch is going to be f***ing crazy," Paul told reporters after the match.

"Let’s do that again, that was fun. Holy S***," KSI concurred.

If we take a look at the revenue from live streams, ticket sales, merchandising, and everything else, both YouTubers are nothing but victorious.
