Paul was hoping to find any NFL or NHL players that would be willing to step into the ring with Davis.

Most Valuable Promotions was hoping to book former basketballer Larry Sanders, but future commitments stopped negotiations. Sanders played for the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA and had to stop negotiations due to the Big3 basketball league.

​

The competition sees 12 teams of three compete against each other, with the rosters mainly filled with former NBA players.

Paul is seemingly trying to increase his reputation in the sport of boxing by enlisting bigger names from other sports to compete. Given the amount of attention the YouTuber attracts with his events, it seems to be working.
