Jake and Logan Paul attempted to create excitement for their new MAX reality series, “Paul American,” with a flashy event in Times Square. However, the stunt fell flat and turned into a major embarrassment. Very few fans attended, making the highly promoted event feel deserted. Videos capturing the low turnout quickly circulated online, leading to widespread ridicule.
Former UFC fighter Dillon Danis, a longtime rival, jumped on the fiasco. He shared the clip with a biting caption: “The silence was loud.” The embarrassment stung so much that the official Paul American TikTok account yanked the video down, hoping to bury the blunder. Danis’ feud with the Pauls—fueled by his trolling of Logan’s fiancée, Nina Agdal, before their boxing match—only added fuel to the fire.
Critics Tear Into the Series
The show itself fares no better. Reviewers have trashed Paul American, questioning its appeal. Variety blasted the brothers’ lack of charm, stating, “Logan and Jake Paul offer little substance. Even for reality TV, watching feels pointless.” The Atlantic agreed, adding that the Pauls’ girlfriends outshine them, effortlessly stealing the spotlight.

Despite this reality TV stumble, Jake and Logan thrive elsewhere. Jake’s amateur boxing career boasts a recent win over Mike Tyson in November 2024, though not without controversy. Logan has carved a niche in WWE wrestling, captivating audiences. Together, they command over 50 million Instagram followers. Yet, the Times Square flop hints their influence might not stretch as far as they believe.
Paul American streams on MAX now, but brutal reviews and this promotional disaster suggest few will tune in.
