Video: Ryan Garcia Apologizes to Logan Paul Amid Prime Hydration Lawsuit
May 28, 2024
Ryan Garcia is now backtracking on his previous comments about Prime energy drinks after Logan Paul's company filed a lawsuit against the outspoken boxer.
In an interview with Ana Paula Saenz, Garcia apologized directly to Paul by saying he feels "bad for the fight that we're going through because I've known the family for years" and this "s--t's breaking my heart."
The apology comes after Paul revealed last week on Instagram that Prime Hydration filed a defamation lawsuit against Garcia after King Ryan said on Instagram Live that the energy drink is unhealthy, "killing you" and anyone who drinks it is "working for Satan."
Garcia has a reputation for trolling, which he admitted was part of his strategy leading up to his recent fight with Devin Haney. He posted, then later deleted, "I f--king love steroids" after it was confirmed his B-sample collected prior to the bout with Haney returned positive for a performance-enhancing drug.
It's fair to think that Garcia's comments about Prime were part of his entire trolling act, but someone decided to call him out on it in a way that could result in him being forced to pay a lot of his money to get out of legal trouble.
Adding more drama to the situation is Garcia's ongoing war of words with Logan's brother, Jake Paul. Garcia issued a challenge to Paul in March in a series of posts on X (WARNING: contains strong language).
Jake responded by saying he's a better boxer than Garcia and a fight between the two would be "light work" for him.
Garcia and Jake Paul were at least friendly at one point, including filming content together for YouTube in 2020. Garcia has taken credit for bringing Paul into boxing, saying after Jake's win over Ryan Bourland in March he feels "feels so f-----g bad" for introducing him to the sport.
The Flash also volunteered to step in against Paul on July 27 if Mike Tyson is unable to fight after experiencing a medical scare on a weekend flight from Miami to Los Angeles, though Tyson's representatives said he is "doing great."
Prime was founded by Logan Paul and KSI in 2022.
