Logan Paul is making a YouTube Olympics for charity

YouTube's resident problem child is back at it again with yet another testosterone induced challenge.

Logan Paul is betting $100,000 that he's faster than you. And everyone else, for that matter. He took to Twitter to make the bet, accruing over four thousand responses from people who think they can beat him.

Well Paul doesn't just want to talk the talk. He's ready to walk the walk. Or, in this case, run the run.

The 24-year-old vlogger just announced "The Challenger Games," which seems to be his very own version of the Olympics. Only with YouTubers instead of athletes.

"On July 27th, the biggest entertainers in the world will gather here, Veteran's Memorial stadium, at Long Beach City college, to race in the track and field of epic proportions," the self-described "manchild" said in the promo video.

He calls out YouTube superstars like Casey Neistat and his younger brother, Jake Paul. Even football player Chad Johnson tweeted at Paul, saying he'd bet $300,000 against Paul's $100,000.

The silver lining? All the money raised will go to charity. Anyone can buy tickets starting July 1. It will also be livestreamed, if you can't make it out to a college track field to watch Logan Paul play tug-of-war.
