CLEVELAND, OHIO: Logan Paul questioned xQc's $100 million deal with Kick on his podcast 'Impaulsive' after fellow host Mike Majlak revealed it. Now Paul seems to be interested in joining Kick.
xQc signed a non-exclusive contract worth $100 million, causing shockwaves in the entertainment industry, and hailed as a turning point in streaming. Majkal claimed xQc's base value is around $70 million, and with incentives it potentially reaches $100 million.
'I don’t believe it'
Paul looked unsure about the contract at first, saying, "Is that real?" with a surprised expression on his face. “I don’t believe it, I’m sorry. It’s too much money,” he stated before rambling on about how xQc would lose a significant portion of his money due to taxes.
Despite his initial uncertainty, Logan accepted the validity of the contract after learning that Kick was funded by the gambling corporation Stake. Paul wasted no time in attempting to work in an offer. "OK, [Kick], you want the number one podcast in the world? Hit up manager Jeff and we can bring our booming audience over to ya’ll for $50 billion we’ll take it,” he quipped.
While the $50 billion price tag is definitely exorbitant, it will be intriguing to see what type of offer Kick makes to Paul, particularly if it is a non-exclusive arrangement.
'What Twitch star xQc just got'
The podcasters were discussing sports and million-dollar contracts when Majlak mentioned that Argentine soccer player Lionel Messi's two-year contract with Inter Miami is worth between $125 and $150 million. He remarked how similar it was to the agreement signed by xQc. He stated, "Two years for $125 million dollars. Eerily similar to two years for $100 million dollars, which is what Twitch star xQc just got."
Paul appeared to be skeptical of the statistic at this point. As a result, Majlak went on to say that the base value of xQc's arrangement is around $70 million, but that with incentives, it could go as high as $100 million.
He added, "Felix Lengyel... announced that he will be joining a rival streaming platform in a two-year deal. The contract is reportedly worth around $70 million with incentives, potentially raising the total to $100 million." The conversation then shifted to streamer Ninja's multi-million dollar contract with Mixer, with Majlak claiming xQc's case is different due to Kick's connections to Stake.
