Logan Paul has explained the reason for his seeming disinterest after Jake Paul defeated Nate Diaz earlier this month in footage released after the fight.
The social media star brothers have had an ongoing feud over the past few weeks stemming from an argument on Logan's podcast Impaulsive, before the footage went viral of the elder sibling barely celebrating the result. But he claims his tiredness from travelling and wrestling with the WWE all day was more to do with it than any jealousy.
The elder Paul brother had previously in the night wrestled against Ricochet at WWE Summerslam in Detroit, over 1,100 miles from Dallas where his sibling faced Diaz. He then hopped into a car and into a private jet, which took him across the country in just three hours at which point he went straight to the fight.
"Let me tell you something, let me f***ing say something," Paul complained after comedian Andrew Shulz and his co-hosts on the podcast Flagrant mocked him for looking disappointed after the fight. "Guess what I went and did that night before I went to Jake's fight? I wrestled in front of 50,000 f***ing people.
"I was exhausted, I was in pain I drove a plane three hours across the country to make it to my brother's fight, I show up and by the time I'm there I've had a day, I'm exhausted. I'm cooked, it was ten rounds, we knew Jake was going to win, I'm just saying, bro!"

Jake and Logan would later argue over their boxing abilities, with Logan claiming he was the better fighter of the two despite having never won in his three ring efforts. Their feud played out on Impaulsive, before Jake expressed his concern at the post-fight video during an episode of his own show BS with Jake Paul.

"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 about the footage by one of his co-hosts, who claimed that Logan looked like a 'supervillain' in the viral clip. "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: "I 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."
