Surprise: The Viral Ring Girl From The Jake Paul/Mike Tyson Fight Sydney Thomas Has Gained Over 500,000 Followers In A Few Days
So Hubbs wrote a great blog about how the real star of the show on that boring ass fight on Friday night between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson was actually the ring girl Sydney Thomas:
Like any great Internet mind, I was early to the Sydney Thomas train. I wrote a blog in March about the SEC sorority taking the Internet by storm, and low and behold, guess who was the star of that blog?
Sydney Thomas, who had a whopping 10k followers at that point. I'm pretty sure Meek Phil has like 5 times the amount of followers than that. But that's besides the point. Sydney gets her big break after making TikTok video after TikTok video, gaining thousands of fans like it's life on easy mode. But surprise, with all of the camera time she was getting this weekend and now she's sitting at a whopping 560,000 Instagram followers and counting and 884,000 on TikTok. The video of her announcing herself as a ring girl on TikTok has almost 14 MILLION views:
It's probably safe to make the assumption that Sydney has outlived the 3 hour main card watched by what is reported to be 125 million people live (even though the stream hardly worked without buffering) and into Internet stardom for the rest of time. The Hawk Tuah girl has one of the biggest podcasts on the planet right now and has probably made more money than I will ever see in 5 lifetimes off a single video. The Internet just needed their next star and they found her. Sydney still attends the University of Alabama and my guess is her professors won't be seeing her anytime soon. The next time she steps foot on campus might be when she's holding a seminar to teach all the business class students how she made it in the world as an influencer and has zillions of dollars now. Game is game. Good luck out there Sydney.
P.S. Who knows if these pictures even will load considering our app has been broken for days but here's my apology:
Really should have went to an SEC school.
