Youtuber turned boxer Logan Paul claimed a win against former Bellator fighter Dillon Danis via disqualification in the co-main event of Misfits X DAZN: The Prime Card last Saturday. Nonetheless, the events leading up to the fight were anything but ordinary, as ‘El Jefe’ stirred up controversy by publicly disclosing private photos and videos of Logan’s fiancée, Nina Agdal.
Danis’ provocative actions escalated to the point where the Danish supermodel took legal action and secured a restraining order against him. She filed a lawsuit, demanding $150,000 from Dillon in damages. However, even after the lawsuit, the Jiu Jitsu champion did not seem to care much as he continued his social media antics in full flow.
Now that the event has happened, fans expected things to calm down, as there was no point in continuing the online rivalry as Danis was handed a one-sided loss in a fight that was called a ‘disgrace’ to boxing by many. However, things have once again heated up as the MMA fighter revealed that Nina Agdal has offered him a settlement for the lawsuit, which will set him back $400,000. “Nina offered a settlement of $400k today; she can go suck another d*ck,” tweeted Dillon.
Nina offered a settlement of 400k today she can go suck another dick.

When the whole lawsuit situation happened, many argued that Dillon was just hyping the fight and there was no need to involve the law. However, some fans also felt that he involved Nina in this unpleasant dispute unnecessarily, making derogatory comments by labelling her as transgender.
He also compiled a public list of men she’s purportedly been in relationships with, damaging her reputation. However, when he shared explicit photos of her online without her consent, he crossed a serious ethical boundary. His actions constituted a direct violation of both state and federal laws.
Dillon Danis will nearly lose half of his purse in the Logan Paul fight.
Dillon Danis is set to almost lose half of his fight purse that he earned from fighting Logan Paul on October 14. While on the Piers Morgan Uncensored show, Danis disclosed the amount he received as compensation after his disqualification defeat to the WWE star.
Although the exact official figure of Dillon Danis’ fight purse was not disclosed, Danis did not shy away from offering an approximation. When questioned by Piers Morgan, Danis stated that he made upwards of $1 Million for participating in the PRIME Card event.
Will Dillon Danis keep his promise and hand over the cheque he promised Logan Paul after his defeat?

It’s important to note that Logan had previously indicated that Dillon would receive a fixed payment for his participation in the fight, while the YouTuber himself was entitled to a portion of the pay-per-view (PPV) revenue. Considering that the event set a record with approximately 1.3 million PPV purchases (as per Happy Punch), it’s logical to assume that Logan Paul walked away with a much larger portion of the financial proceeds once all was said and done.
