Guys just like his olive oil and acai berry hair secret was a joke so was his statement that he could beat the online games.
If he wanted to do this Polk, Klink, Colman etc have all offered to put up the money and he clearly doesn't want to do the bet. All this has been is a publicity stunt and it feed's his ego. He's probably jerking off to this thread as we speak.

When interviewed about this "challenge," he said he doesn't like how games will fill up when bad players sit and he would like to see online sites discourage this. LOL. They would immediately fill up if he ever sat. He also said he would game select a lot if he actually did the challenge, so he himself would clearly be looking to bum hunt and avoid the players he knows he can't beat.

idea: to alleviate the problem of lower volume in a challenge like this yielding less meaningful results, how about making the challenge about the allinEV results/winrate? there's somewhat less variance in that, making it more meaningful. (although not much if DN plays smallball at deep/ante tables 
)
btw, there are actually quite a few online pros who grind well under 25k hands per month, e.g. midstakes HU specialists who don't want to spend a ton of time grinding/waiting, but also some midstakes+ SH players who just play with higher intensity and/or more tableselection and thus don't mass-table.
not everyone is a zoom grinder, and not every winning grinder/pro sees himself as primarily a poker player, not everyone eat sleeps and breathes poker.
just saying.
25k hands for a challenge like this really is a joke though imo. that kind of volume only yields somewhat meaningful results if the player has either a huge winrate or loss-rate (like winning 15bb/100 or losing that much)
