#FameVsClout and The Future of Celebrity Boxing.
Cassper Nyovest’s marketing genius and business acumen shined yet again last night as he planted the seed that adds sports into his business portfolio. For two hours, over 100 000 people were glued to youtube and Facebook live to witness the historic fight between Cassper and internet trash talk king Slik Talk.
After more than a year of challenging and calling out people to fight to no avail, Slik Talk took it upon himself to break the ice and materialise what is to be the next chapter of sports meeting youth culture. The public took to social media to share their thoughts, opinions, a brand new set of memes, and reactions that have kept this event hot on the trending list for the past 24 hours.
A favored conspiracy trails back to a video where Slik Talks opens up about his student debt after NSFAS cut LLB students from their funding allocations, with his back against the wall and the struggle to find employment at the very last moment of his momentum of trolling, he revealed the noble intentions that led him to “take the bait”. Many believe that Cassper paid off Slik Talk to throw the fight, make Cassper look good and kick-start his next business venture, which was a hot topic on Twitter spaces.
Never one to shy away from the competitive spirit, Cassper called out Prince Kaybee, AKA and NAAK Music, who got into the ring, gladly accepted his challenge, and set a date for the place to take place in Sun City Stadium on the 8th of April 2022. What are your thoughts on Celebrity boxing? Is it enough to spark the interest in boxing in general? Is this the icing on the cake that will make Cassper a billionaire? Let us know in the comments.
