Australian Police cancel KSI x Logan Paul meet and greet event in Perth for promotion of PRIME, fans who were camping outside the venue are disappointed.
KSI x Prime Event Canceled
Local police cancel the meet and greet event organized by KSI and Logan Paul to promote PRIME hydration in Perth, Australia, according to a Tweet from KSI.
- The announcement didn’t include any further details regarding the cancelation of the event, however, allegedly it was due to poor management. KSI also asked fans to stay tuned for the next date.
- KSI and Logan Paul are notable among some of the most famous YouTubers turned boxers. Their stardom invited numerous business ventures such as PRIME Hydration and WWE appearances by Logan Paul.
- This makes the event cancelation a major disappointment to their fans waiting for once in a lifetime opportunity to meet their favorite stars.
Will they re-organize the event?
KSI did express their intentions of reorganizing the event in the future. Currently, KSI and Logan Paul are promoting their PRIME drink across Australia and it is causing significant noise.
- On the upcoming Sunday, the PRIME brand is also having a Super Bowl commercial, something many companies desire for revenue. The PRIME brand, sold to Coca-Cola for $10 billion, managed to create $10 million in sales. This exceeds the sales of Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s ZOA energy drink.
- The demand for the drink is now above the availability of the product. Many fans are trying to get their hands on a bottle of PRIME through stores and online. This makes the cancelation of the PRIME event even more unfortunate, as KSI and Paul had announced to give away 2,000 bottles for free to fans in attendance.
- Due to the lack of information surrounding the sudden cancellation, many fans are fearing the fate of upcoming meet and greet in other areas.

Why was the KSI x Logan Paul meet and greet PRIME event canceled?
There is no official announcement regarding the reasons behind the sudden cancelation of the PRIME meet and greet event. However, the public are suspecting a threatening amount of crowding, and poor management is the primary cause.
- This suspicion is quite understandable following the crowd KSI and Logan Paul are generating ever since coming to Australia. Recently, the duo was mobbed by enthusiastic fans in Perth where they visited to catch the UFC.
- This gathering of fans is continuing through their tour making the challenge for event management. The crowd went out of control during the duo’s appearance on Nine’s Today program as well. This caused significant chaos and frenzy injuring multiple people.
Chaotic scenes unfolded outside Nine's studio in North Sydney this morning, where thousands of young fans flocked to catch a glimpse of internet sensations Logan Paul and KSI. #9News@heinkealex was amongst the action.

- Excited fans pushed their way ahead breaking the barricade causing trouble for present security guards. The police stopped the duo from appearing ahead and asked fans to collect the drinks on their way out in an orderly manner. However, the crowd continued blocking the street and traffic as a fan attempted ‘shoey’ and others stopped just to cheer him.
