The modern world of sports has so many other things than just… playing sports. The recent scoop is that Logan Paul and KSI’s company Prime Hydration is now the exclusive official hydration partner for the WWE.
Ryan Garcia, the American professional boxer who recently had a match with Devin Haney, also fired shots at Prime Hydration. Flooring Haney on the ground, Garcia won the fight. However, the boxer took to his X and blamed Logan Paul’s Prime for Devin Haney’s loss and claimed that the drink was responsible for making wrestlers lose!
Ryan Garcia Doesn’t Want People To Drink PRIME!
Back in 2022, YouTubers Logan Paul and KSI formed a company titled PRIME Hydration. With the fans going crazy for the drink, Prime Hydration found a massive boost in income and became quite the challenge for other energy drinks in the market.
Ryan Garcia, the American professional boxer who recently floored Devin Haney in a boxing match took to his X (formerly Twitter) to talk about the PRIME. Tweeting a photo of Devin Haney with the caption “This is why you don’t drink prime”, Garcia didn’t hold back his words.
While talking about his match with Devin Haney, the boxer tweeted that he had massive respect for Haney for getting up every time to fight once more. While complimenting his rival, Garcia implied that Devin Haney lost because he was affiliated with Prime Hydration! Check out the tweet below:

Ryan Garcia showed Devin Haney his first defeat as after the match ended, the scorecards read “114-110 and 115-109 for Garcia with the third scoring it a 112-112 draw.” (via The Guardian). With Garcia firing shots at Prime Hydration, another person replied that three other athletes (other than Devin Haney) lost their fights after signing on with Prime Hydration!

But Ryan Garcia wasn’t done. Taking a final jab at the company, Garcia tweeted three words which were enough to get controversial within minutes! Taking to his X, the boxer simply tweeted “Don’t drink Prime” and all hell broke loose.

As much as Garcia is taking shots at the company, Prime Hydration does not seem to be affected too much after the recent deal with WWE. Logan Paul and KSI, the co-creators of the company made a deal with the WWE and the TKO Group and as per the reports, Prime Hydration will have access to some iconic advertising with the WWE!
Logan Paul And KSI’s PRIME Has A Deal With The WWE!
With energy drink companies having tons of marketing and becoming official partners for events, PRIME did not lag behind. As per recent news (via Sports Pro Media), Logan Paul and KSI’s PRIME have a deal with the WWE and the TKO Group which made the drink its official hydration partner.
Although the financial aspect of the deal hasn’t been revealed, the deal included PRIME’s logo on the wrestling mat in the WWE. The advertising will also extend to professional events such as WrestleMania and Money in the Bank (which is a first for the company). The deal also includes that Prime will get social support from WWE Wrestlers (aka advertising).
With Logan Paul and KSI being former rivals turned business partners, many people have doubted Paul’s abilities as a professional boxer. Keeping his YouTube career aside, we are here to tell you that Paul is not a boxer who should be taken lightly!
Logan Paul Has A Rich Wrestling And Boxing Career!
Logan Paul, who has a rich history with WWE from 2022, also reported that he has renewed his contract with WWE which means more Logan Paul fights will be on the way soon. Starting his career in wrestling from various feuds back in 2021, the YouTuber became a recurring appearance in the WWE.
This recurring appearance, however, turned into something greater when Logan Paul challenged Rey Mysterio to a wrestling match in October of 2023. After using brass knuckles to end the match, Paul became the title holder of the United States Championship. Much like Logan Paul, fellow YouTuber KSI is also into professional boxing. From feuds and boxing matches with Logan Paul, here’s how the two gentlemen became former rivals to business partners.
Back in 2018, Paul challenged KSI to a boxing match but the fight ended in a draw. Coming in for a rematch, KSI and Logan Paul fought once again with KSI winning the match. Sometime later, the former rivals ventured into the business world and came up with the idea of hydration products and created the company Prime Hydration as we know it today.
After they set their differences aside and created the company Prime Hydration, a massive deal took place. In a report by CB Insights, the company is evaluated to be somewhere between $3.1 billion to $8.4 billion, making it one of the highest-evaluated companies in hydration drinks.
