If the contest plays out to its conclusion there will be no official judges result, the Florida State Boxing Commission .<\/p>\n It’s a pretty lean one, only four fights…<\/p>\n Logan Paul is going to box Floyd Mayweather.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Gabe Ginsberg\/Getty Images<\/p>\n <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n The 26-year-old Ohio native and his brother, Jake, first became famous for their Vine and\u00a0\u00a0videos. Paul then moved to LA and dabbled in all sorts of forms of entertainment, from acting to running a clothing line. He’s not without controversy: In 2018, he was heavily criticized for\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0in a Japanese forest known as a location<\/a> for suicide and\u00a0\u00a0from his channel for questionable content in the past. But his fans don’t seem to care: Slot<\/a> His YouTube channel has more than 22 million subscribers.<\/p>\n As for\u00a0, Paul was a high-school athlete, participating in wrestling and football. But his boxing 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 decision victory for KSI. So with zero victories to his credit, he’s decided to … take on a famous undefeated boxer. As you do.<\/p>\n Mayweather is the best boxer of his generation.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Showtime<\/p>\n <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n \u00a0is quite a bit older than Paul, at 44. And he’s much, much more experienced in the ring. He won 15 major world titles in five weight classes, with a 50-0 record in the sport, a bronze medal in the 1996 Olympics, and three US Golden Gloves championships, among other titles. (Note that he won that Olympic medal when Logan Paul was just a year old.)<\/p>\n So why, then, is the\u00a0<\/span>? It’s not about the boxing — the fight won’t count anywhere, it’s an exhibition. Think those two irresistible elements: Money and fame.<\/p>\n “It’s likely that only the promise of another lucrative payday could convince ‘Money’ Mayweather to put on his gloves again, and Paul provides an opponent with major name recognition despite a paucity of boxing experience,” the\u00a0. The newspaper noted that for Paul, it’s not about who wins, but about the exposure, which makes him even more famous and opens up more opportunities and future paydays.<\/p>\n That’s the bare essentials, but if you want to catch up on the juicy, possibly manufactured drama in the lead up to the fight… keep reading.<\/p>\n No, that is not a typo.\u00a0Despite the fact Floyd Mayweather is fighting his brother Logan Paul, Jake Paul got into quite the situation with Mayweather, by <\/span>.<\/p>\n TODAY IN CRINGE: Jake Paul challenges Floyd Mayweather to a fight and snatches his hat after the press conference for Logan’s fight.

Jake Paul and Mayweather had a confrontation, they talked back and forth about a fight between them, Jake Paul snatched up Mayweather’s hat 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n It got heated at the Floyd Mayweather-Logan Paul press conference after Jake Paul took Mayweather’s hat.(via ) <\/p>\n \u2014 SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) <\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/div>\n <\/i><\/u><\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n window.CnetFunctions.logWithLabel(‘%c One Trust ‘, “Service loaded: script_twitterwidget with class optanon-category-5”);<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/figure>\n <\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n Floyd Mayweather was heated after his encounter with Jake Paul. *NSFW*(via )<\/p>\n \u2014 Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) <\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/div>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/u><\/i><\/p>\n window.CnetFunctions.logWithLabel(‘%c One Trust ‘, “Service loaded: script_twitterwidget with class optanon-category-5”);<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/figure>\n <\/b><\/p>\n Everyone is going to make a lot of money.<\/p>\n Part of the appeal of this is it’s hard to know what to expect. The most obvious outcome is Mayweather outboxing Paul and potentially knocking him out. But Mayweather is<\/em> 44 and he is giving up at least 30 <\/em>pounds in weight. It’s hard to imagine that Logan Paul will even touch Mayweather given his defensive prowess, but we haven’t seen him fight since the McGregor fight and that was almost four years ago.<\/p>\n Here are some clips of them training.<\/p>\n Yeah….Logan Paul is getting knocked out. <\/p>\n \u2014 The MMA Dude\u2122 (@philthemmadude) <\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/div>\n <\/b><\/u><\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/b><\/p>\n window.CnetFunctions.logWithLabel(‘%c One Trust ‘, “Service loaded: script_twitterwidget with class optanon-category-5”);<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/figure>\n <\/b><\/p>\n <p lang<\/p>\n \u2014 MMA Junkie (@MMAjunkie) <\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/div>\n <\/u><\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/i><\/u><\/p>\n window.CnetFunctions.logWithLabel(‘%c One Trust ‘, “Service loaded: script_twitterwidget with class optanon-category-5”);<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/figure>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Floyd seems confident.\u00a0<\/p>\n “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.”<\/p>\n Sounds ominous.<\/p>\n \n <\/p>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<\/span><\/span>
