(CNN)After watching KSI and Logan Paul's debut professional boxing fight, Love Island star and professional boxer Tommy Fury wants in. You can understand why. British YouTuber KSI and vlogger Paul did battle in front of a packed-out Staples Center on November 9, for which they both earned $900,000. That's more than some boxers earn for professional world title fights. Saturday's fight was watched by millions, with promoter Eddie Hearn claiming it was "the biggest pay-per-view (event) in the UK of the year so far," eclipsing Anthony Joshua's world heavyweight defeat to Andy Ruiz Jr. Afterwards, Hearn said he received "five or six calls this week" from celebrities wanting to fight KSI. "I've heard he wants to continue fighting so if he wants a real fight, he knows where I am," Fury told reporters. "I'm saying to KSI, if you want it, you know where it is.

"We both have a … [Read more...] about Love Island star and pro boxer Tommy Fury eyes fight with KSI

London (CNN)Got a text. Crack on. Get pied. It is what it is. If you haven't been watching Britain's hit reality TV series "Love Island," you may be forgiven for not having a clue what we're talking about. But for those who make up the millions tuning in six times a week, those words and phrases should have crept into your regular vocabulary by now. That's because "Love Island" is a smash hit like few others. It boasts viewing figures of up to 6 million -- unheard of for a show not aired on the UK's five main terrestrial channels. The five series of the program have inspired online debate and water cooler conversations, and turned participants into overnight celebrities. The ITV show's popularity has meant a winter edition will be filmed from South Africa next year. There have been attempts at a US version of the show, but that project hasn't yet found the same levels of success. Read More At its core, "Love Island" is a dating show. A number of contestants spend two months … [Read more...] about ‘Love Island’ pulls in millions with lust and heartbreak. Critics fear the hit show’s impact

(CNN)Seriously, "Love Island," five nights a week of this -- a "Bachelor in Paradise"/"Big Brother" love child? With "The Bachelor" and its various spinoffs, knockoffs and copycats, one might think there's an unlimited appetite for yet another fun-in-the-sun dating show. Yet CBS is testing that theory with "Love Island," an unscripted series that made its debut Tuesday. It comes with a proven pedigree in the UK, and the network is giving it a five-night-a-week summer run. The main issues with "Love Island," and indeed most of these shows, involve being able to suspend disbelief that those participating are really looking for romance, as opposed to a trip to Fiji and the fame (or notoriety) and career prospects potentially yielded by weeks of primetime exposure. Much has been written about the current "reality TV presidency," but the fact that these series continue to proliferate suggests there's still ample work to do in terms of media literacy and people having even a vague … [Read more...] about ‘Love Island’ washes up as tedious addition to reality dating tide
