What was Lionel Messi’s response to Logan Paul?
In response to Logan Paul’s accusations, Lionel Messi, through Mas+, sued Paul for anti-competitive behavior and requested a statement from Paul admitting that he had not plagiarized Prime, but Paul maintained his accusation.

Yassine Chueko posted a video on Instagram signing a fight contract that featured a $15 million purse. He then unpacked a pair of boxing gloves adorned with the name ‘Lolo’, shouting: “Lolo! Lolo, look what I got. Lolo, when I hit you, you’re going to have your name on your face, Lolo.”
“Everyone is waiting for the fight. And you, still hiding. I’ve received messages from all over the place. Africa, America, Europe, everywhere. And you’re still hiding. Lolo. Sign the contract and don’t tell me to come to Puerto Rico. Let’s fight here in Miami at Chase Stadium.”
