If you’re interested in attending a slap-fighting contest between Logan Paul and Arnold Schwarzenegger alongside other notable personalities, March 5th is going to be the greatest day of your life.
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Logan Paul Are Hosting a Slap Fighting Tournament.
Paul and Schwarzenegger spoke to USA Today’s Josh Peter about their involvement with the Slap Fighting Championship.
“I love the absurdity of it,” Paul said. “I love the idea that two guys could just stand across from each other and just slap each other and see who falls down first. It’s hilarious to me. It’s like, how is that a real event? What the (expletive) is that sport?”
According to Peter, Paul and Schwarzenegger announced they will present and co-promote the event during an episode of Paul’s podcast.
“I know we’re going to have a great time watching the slap competition as long as we don’t get slapped,” Schwarzenegger told Peter.
Fanmio CEO Solomon Engel, who previously promoted Paul’s exhibition boxing match with Floyd Mayweather Jr., said his company is trying to “get maximum exposure for the sport and what we’re doing.”
Each slap fight consists of three rounds. The first round has one person matching slaps with another competitor. The second round will be observed and the judges score the striker’s ability to continue fighting. A knockout is determined by Finishing Your Opponent, Judges Scoring a Match or Disqualification.
