So, Why is Floyd Mayweather Fighting Logan Paul?
The answer to this great question comes down to one thing: money. Both Mayweather and Paul are sure to walk away from this richer despite spending less than 25 minutes in the ring. They’re both controversial personalities who are sure to bring sizable audiences to the event — Paul with his millions of YouTube fans and Mayweather being one of the best-selling boxers of his generation.
Both Mayweather and Paul are great entertainers, and both have been drumming up plenty of buzz around the event. Last month, during the pre-fight news conference in Miami Gardens Jake Paul, Logan Paul’s younger brother who also happens to box, stole Mayweather’s hat and ran away. Mayweather’s bodyguard apparently punched him out to get it back, and Paul got a “got your hat” tattoo in retaliation.
“Floyd came out of retirement, just to get re-retired. I’m about to beat the greatest fighter of all time,” said Logan Paul in ESPN. In regard to the hat incident, Mayweather retorted with “It’s one thing to sell a fight, and people can say what they want, but one thing no one is going to do is disrespect me,” Mayweather said.
Many are touting this fight as an attempt to garner more viewers for regular boxing matches in general, whose viewership has been waning in recent years. Former NFL player Chad Johnson will also be entering the ring on Sunday as part of the PPV event, and explained why he’s taking part.
“I’m a boxing fan. We’re not getting the fights we want to see for whatever reason. It’s disappointing. But exhibitions like this are very exciting because it gives you two big names here to entertain.”
While some purist boxing fans are definitely scoffing at this event, it’s a surefire way to bring in revenue to a sport that needs more viewers. Time will tell whether people stick around to watch two actual boxers duke it out in the ring, but for now we’re excited to see Mayweather teach Paul a lesson with his 50-0 legacy as a pro.
