Floyd Mayweather Will Fight YouTuber Logan Paul In Exhibition Match

The two are facing off after trading barbs on social media for months.

Mayweather retired from boxing in 2017 after a nearly 20-year career in which he won 15 titles across five weight classes, ending with a 50-0 record after soundly beating MMA star Conor McGregor.

Mayweather referenced the loudmouthed McGregor last month on Twitter, promising “@loganpaul can get the same treatment.” 

Two years after the McGregor fight he took on kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in an exhibition that earned Mayweather $9 million after knocking out his opponent in two minutes.

Paul has little experience in the ring: in 2018, took part in his first boxing match against fellow YouTube personality KSI which ended in a majority draw, though he lost to KSI in a rematch the following year in a split decision.

Fanmio, a company that offers meet and greet packages with celebrities for fans will stream the fight as a pay-per-view, with early prices starting at almost $25, according to the event website.
