The rules are the rules.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;If he wants to be viewed as a genuine boxer, he needs to follow the 11 o&#8217;clock deadline. Look at the time he posted. It&#8217;s not fair; I had to follow the rules, and he isn&#8217;t an exception.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>He continued in another post: &#8216;The commission&#8217;s rules state that weigh-ins are between 10 and 11. If you miss the 11 o&#8217;clock deadline, you&#8217;ve missed weight. I weighed in at 10:15, but Logan still hasn&#8217;t.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The commission said that if he doesn&#8217;t arrive by the 11am deadline, the fight is off. He missed the weight, but then called misfits and changed the rules to give himself an extra hour.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We should be on an even playing field, he shouldn&#8217;t get special treatment. He\u2019s already got more juice than Tropicana. He missed the weight, plain and simple. They\u2019re trying to handicap me as much as possible.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Danis then went on to add: &#8216;This isn\u2019t complaining. What is fair is fair. No drug tests, breaking the weigh-in rules \u2013 I ain\u2019t nobody\u2019s b****. I run the show. F***Logan Paul.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;This fake commission is paid for by KSI and Misfits.
