Logan Paul claims he was threatened with a ban from the arena where his brother Jake was fighting Nate Diaz if he brought a Prime drink to the venue.
The YouTube star flew over 1100 miles across America from Detroit to Dallas after competing at WWE's Summerslam event, but was warned against bringing his beverage into the event. Jake's event had a presenting sponsor from rival drinks company Celsius, who weren't keen on being part of another marketing stunt for the elder brother's business.
Logan is known to go nowhere without a bottle of the beverage in one of the most aggressive marketing campaigns social media has seen to date. He handed out bottles at Jake's last fight against Tommy Fury during the ring walk, but was warned against anything similar, taking aim at his sibling during a post-fight interview on his podcast Impaulsive.
"The way that we got texts from Marcos [Guerrerro, Jake's assistant] made it sound like it was in the contract 'Logan Paul if he shall come to this event shall not have Prime'," Logan complained. "You can't do that, you can't tell me what to wear, you can't tell me I'm going to be escorted out of the venue if I wear a certain thing... I found it crazy."
The brothers got into a heated debate about the topic during last week's episode, which was compounded when Jake noted that there was footage from ringside of Logan seemingly moping as the decision was read that he had won the fight. It was his first victory back after losing to Tommy Fury, and he appeared surprised to see his brother less than animated at the result.

"I didn't think it was real and I just don't get it," Jake said when asked on a later episode of his show BS with Jake Paul about the footage by one of his co-hosts, who claimed that Logan looked like a 'supervillain'. "I just can't believe it, I don't know, it's weird. It's really weird."
However, Logan hit back with a response of his own on Instagram, writing: "1 had a wrestling match in front of 50,000 people and booked it across the country afterwards to watch you fight, I was BEYOND exhausted by this point and it was obvious you were going to win. STOP OVERANALYZING."
