Who is Logan Paul?
Logan Paul is going to box Floyd Mayweather.
Gabe Ginsberg/Getty ImagesThe 26-twelvemonth-old Ohio native and his brother, Jake, offset became famous for their Vine and YouTube videos. Paul then moved to LA and dabbled in all sorts of forms of amusement, from interim to running a clothing line. He'south not without controversy: In 2018, he was heavily criticized forfilming a expressionless torso in a Japanese forest known as a location for suicide and YouTube has yanked ads from his channel for questionable content in the past. But his fans don't seem to care: His YouTube channel has more than 22 meg subscribers.
As for sports, Paul was a high-schoolhouse athlete, participating in wrestling and football. But his battle record isn't exactly long. In 2018, he fought British YouTuber KSI (real name: Olajide William Olatunji) to a majority draw in what was considered an amateur match. In 2019, the two held a rematch that was considered a professional bout, ending in a split conclusion victory for KSI. So with zero victories to his credit, he's decided to ... have on a famous undefeated boxer. As yous do.

ShowtimeFloyd Mayweather Jr. is quite a bit older than Paul, at 44. And he'south much, much more experienced in the ring. He won 15 major globe titles in 5 weight classes, with a 50-0 record in the sport, a bronze medal in the 1996 Olympics, and three U.s. Gilded Gloves championships, among other titles. (Notation that he won that Olympic medal when Logan Paul was just a year former.)
So why, then, is theundefeated sometime champ taking on a YouTuber who'southward never won a fight? It's not near the boxing -- the fight won't count anywhere, information technology's an exhibition. Remember those two irresistible elements: Coin and fame.
"It's likely that only the hope of another lucrative payday could convince 'Money' Mayweather to put on his gloves once more, and Paul provides an opponent with major name recognition despite a paucity of boxing feel," the Washington Mail reported. The newspaper noted that for Paul, it'south not near who wins, but most the exposure, which makes him even more famous and opens up more opportunities and future paydays.
That's the bare essentials, but if you want to take hold of up on the juicy, possibly manufactured drama in the lead up to the fight... keep reading.

The in a higher place Twitter thread shows most of the best footage. Jake Paul and Mayweather had a confrontation, they talked back and forth almost a fight between them, Jake Paul snatched up Mayweather'due south hat and and then... all hell broke loose.
Regardless of whether it was a publicity stunt or not this has stirred up quite an amount of attention on social media.
Anybody is going to brand a lot of money.
What to expect?
Part of the appeal of this is it's hard to know what to await. The almost obvious outcome is Mayweather outboxing Paul and potentially knocking him out. But Mayweather is 44 and he is giving up at least 30 pounds in weight. It'southward hard to imagine that Logan Paul will even touch Mayweather given his defensive prowess, merely nosotros haven't seen him fight since the McGregor fight and that was almost four years agone.
Here are some clips of them training.
Floyd seems confident.
"These guys have done a great job fooling the public that they are real fighters," he said. "I ain't got to use my A game, my B game, my C game. I can use my Z game. Don't even gotta hit him hard."
Sounds ominous.
