The Near-Collapse of the Bachelor Brawl
"Roses, schmoses. Give me violets!"
Want to witness the spectacle of the era?
Organizing the Bachelor duel was no easy feat. What almost derailed the event? We needed the right adversaries, and the veterans themselves set their own conditions.
As he explained, "There are plenty of individuals who talk a big game, but when push comes to shove, they don't have the guts to step into the ring. Andrej agreed to the bout without much debate. He was just up for a good old-fashioned competition and said, 'Find me a fellow Bachelor who matches my weight class and has no prior boxing experience.' That mattered a great deal to Andrej, as he'd never boxed before," shared the insider.
Tracking down a worthy adversary among the ex-Bachelors was the next hurdle. Sebastian Pannek could have given it a shot at the time, but he was uncertain about his abilities to compete.
"Sebastian gave the issue some thought, ultimately saying, 'We're around the same age and we've known each other privately.' There had been a disagreement between them as well. But then he accepted the fight, and voila! The Bachelor brawl was on!" the source revealed.
By "disagreements," he referred to an incident involving Andrej Mangold from "Sommerhaus der Sterne" three years prior. The experience left him with a tarnished reputation due to his polarizing behavior and a brief career setback.

Initially, Sebastian Pannek, another Influencer, hesitated to join the fray due to his lack of boxing experience. However, considering their age and personal bond with Andrej, he ultimately agreed to the duel. The "Sommerhaus der Sterne" became a battleground for Mangold, a fellow Influencer, as he faced backlash over his polarizing personality but managed to maintain his reputation as a fighter.
