Gronk says Logan Paul can talk all the trash he wants, but he won’t back out of a challenge.
Logan Paul said he could beat up any NFL player and put $1 million on the line for a potential fight. Many players attempted to take him up on the offer, including former NFL star and trained boxer Le’Veon Bell. Paul later backed out of the fight, claiming WWE wouldn’t let him take the fight out of fear of him getting injured.
Paul has been called a coward and accused of faking the WWE call to save face. Rob Gronkowski is the latest NFL alum to call Paul out, saying he should have been honest about not wanting to actually fight.
“I just feel like he backed out and that was his excuse. He should’ve just came out and said, ‘Actually I don’t want to do it.’ But instead, he had backup, and then he put the call online as well. ‘Hey look, I can’t do it because WWE said I couldn’t do it.’ Like that’s the biggest crap of all time,” Gronk said to Kay Adams on Up & Adams. “You don’t just call people out and then it happens and you back out. That just shows he’s a flake.”
Rob Gronkowski is down to fight Logan Paul on the football field
Gronk also brought up the fact that Paul referenced beating up his brothers during a recent episode of his IMPAULSIVE podcast. Gronk pointed out that he wasn’t there because he was playing football. He also shared that he’s not somebody who puts up with trash talk and knows how to handle himself.
“And on top of it, I saw he was commenting that he could whip my ass?” Gronk continued. “If Logan Paul wants a piece of me, we’re both playing in the flag football game on March 21 in LA and I can tell you this: the last time players talked trash to me on a football field—I threw someone out of the club, I broke necks, I laid out defensive ends, I pummeled safeties. No one can tackle me, so if Logan Paul wants a piece of me, I’m down to throw it down on the field, and even throw my fist, just go at it, brawl out on the football field.
“I don’t care if it’s flag football and it’s a family event. I will fight him on the field if he wants to fight me right there and then,” Gronk said. “If he wants to talk garbage, if he wants some of this, I’ll see him on the field.”
Gronk pointed out that Paul isn’t on his team and reiterated he’s down to fight.
“I’ll whoop his ass,” Gronk added.
