Logan Paul's 'solution' to Lionel Messi design dispute is peak influencer cringe

Last year legendary footballer Lionel Messi launched his drinks brand Mas+ which many claimed bore a striking resemblance to the hydration drink, Prime. While Messi's beverage caught some flak from Prime's co-founder KSI who claimed it "looks familiar", it was Mas+ that sued Prime for “anti-competitive” behaviour last October, alleging that the YouTuber-backed brand was pressuring it to change its packaging design.

Now, in the most YouTuber-turned-boxer-turned-business-mogul move possible, Prime co-founder Logan Paul has challenged the sports star to a boxing match to settle the legal woes. While Prime has countersued Mas+, Logan claims he'll "consider dropping" the claim if the pair can settle the conflict in the ring – any excuse for a marketing opportunity I guess.
