Cassper Nyovest has revealed some heartbreaking news to fans regarding the Celebrity Boxing match between he and Naak Musiq. When this whole thing started out, it was 'televised' and available for streaming on YouTube. But now, it has grown into a lucrative business so Cassper wants everybody to either buy a ticket and enjoy the extravaganza.
If you do not, enjoy the highlights on his Instagram pages and wait for the winner to be announced afterwards.
Fans have been talking about this match for days and expressed excitement over it. It was when Cassper burst their bubbles and informed people that they would not be able to watch the match for free, while others paid big money for it.
Cassper first hyped the fight and said people cannot miss it, "Next week is gonna be amazing. You wanna be in Sun City. A different experience!!! We always go to the same groove. We created something new. I'm very very proud of my team. Shout out to Naak for having the guts to step in the ring too. This is gonna be memorable!!! Adiwele!!!"
A fan asked if the fight will be on YouTube, Cassper said nope it will not as it is big business, “Nope. This one is the one people have to pay to see. Or we sell it or partner with a channel. It’s big business this! Millions worth of content! Biggest boxing fight of the year!”
Of course Cassper received some hate from people with others saying he is greedy and money hungry.
“Power hungry that much? Or you don’t want the world to see you get knocked out for free? You are Slik Talk of this match, now you want to say oksalayo I got the bag…Le selfish Refiloe”
"How do we watch, YouTube does have an option for people to pay, just cause we can't buy tickets we must not watch? We are are around 50 million, we can't all be at sun city, so pls tell us how do we watch bro?"
“Very disappointed. Thought we gonna see the fight. Some of us don’t have 9k and 14k for tickets.”
“You’re really making this about the money Cassper. This was started publicly, let it end that way.”
Cassper then explained why it probably will not be streamed, "I invested money into a boxing match with a troll, now it's a multimillion rand business. The biggest week Sun City will see in years. I keep inventing new ways to get this bag. That's what its about!!! Being creative and diversifying your income streams till we hit a Billion!!!"
Fans were still not impressed:

But bro, even Kanye has never failed to avail all his recent album listening events on livestream for the world to see, despite them being actual live events that people paid to see.
Yesterday, they had their first face off before the big week. In a press conference attended by the media, Cassper said he loves boxing.
Cassper said he is “too ready man. Nobody can stand in front of me I won’t even lie man. Why? It’s because I really like the sport and I feel like boxing in South Africa was dead and I feel like we have great champions in the country that people didn’t know about. We wanted to shine a lot of light on the stars that we have in South Africa.
“I feel like boxing has been struggling. We don’t even have money for training camps. I felt that if I put my name behind it and did a big event then it would actually help everyone else,” he said.
He did express his desires to fight AKA though and he really does want to get in the ring with him.
But he looks forward to fighting Naak and said he hopes he trained hard, “I hope they’ve been putting in work because trust me, I’m on fire. If they did not train, then it’s definitely going to show. I know that I’m going to ‘Naaq’ Musiq out. I’ve put in the work, and I hope that I don’t hurt him too much. I’m telling you, at this point in time I don’t think there’s a celebrity who can stand In front of me.
“I respect him for still showing up and sticking to his word and creating a moment and culture but I don’t think there’s a celebrity who can stand In front of me right now.”
Naak explained why he agreed in the first place, “The other two guys [AKA and Prince Kaybee] who were called rejected the challenge and I thought why not. That’s how we got here today”.
