Mayweather vs Logan

Paul v Floyd Fight : Logan Paul backed to BEAT Floyd Mayweather by UFC commentator Joe Rogan – if pair met in MMA fight

Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather and YouTube star Logan Paul are reportedly in negotiations over their heavily rumoured exhibition super-fight, according to Viddal Riley. YouTube star Keemstar claimed last week that a “boxing insider” told him that a Paul vs Mayweather clash would take place in 2020.

Logan Paul could beat Floyd Mayweather if the pair had an MMA fight, Joe Rogan has claimed.

Rumours had been circulating of a possible boxing match between the pair.

It was reported that Mayweather had been approached about the possible exhibition bout with some even claiming it was a done deal.

This is seemingly not the case at present and it’s been claimed that Floyd is leaning towards rejecting the idea.

YouTuber Logan Paul is 0-1 as a professional boxer having lost to fellow internet celebrity KSI.

UFC commentator and podcaster Joe Rogan claimed that if a fight with Mayweather took place in MMA it would go the way of Paul.

Speaking on the Joe Rogan Experience, the 53-year-old said: “One thing I will tell you – Logan Paul is a really good athlete and he’s an enormous man.

“Now if it was an MMA fight, I would pick Logan Paul. Listen to me – there’s a video of Logan Paul wrestling with Paulo Costa.

“It’s a real, live wrestling sparring session where he is exhibiting real skill.

“He knows how to scramble, he’s got real wrestling skill. I think he wrestled in college as well.

“Either way, him with Paulo Costa. Paulo is the UFC’s number one contender in the middleweight division. And a wrecking machine.

Logan Paul predicted to BEAT Floyd Mayweather in MMA match

JOE ROGAN has claimed that Logan Paul could BEAT Floyd Mayweather if the pair had an MMA fight.

It has been reported that Money is in talks for an exhibition bout against YouTuber Paul.

Like many, Rogan laughed off the prospect of seeing one of boxing’s best ever fight a social media star inside the squared circle.

Paul, 25, only turned professional last year in a losing effort to fellow YouTuber KSI.

Yet UFC commentator Rogan has tipped the American to beat Mayweather, 43, should they face off inside the cage.

He referenced Paul’s amateur wrestling background and in particular, a video of ‘The Maverick’ training with MMA star Paulo Costa.

Logan Paul is a really good athlete and he’s an enormous man. Now if it was an MMA fight, I would pick Logan Paul.

Floyd Mayweather says for $300 million come out of retirement to fight Conor McGregor again

Floyd Mayweather says if the fight is right, he would come out of retirement to rematch against Conor McGregor. For Mayweather, it’s all about the money. While speaking to Shannon Sharpe on his podcast “Club Shay Shay,” the retired boxer unsurprisingly mentioned money when discussing returning to fighting.

“If I could pick an easy $300 million, absolutely. Same way, same results,” the 43-year-old said.

He also said an opportunity to face UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov would be something he would consider.

His health is also something he sees of great importance and is not willing to risk that for a fight.

“Your health is your wealth,” Mayweather said. “So as far as me going out there and competing against a guy like Conor McGregor, or a guy that’s really inexperienced. Absolutely [I’d fight Nurmagomedov]. Those are $300-million fights.”

At this point in his career, he’s not taking on just any name brought to the table.

“You have to make it make sense. Real sense. Certain type of dollars. I need to have my faculties also. I had my time. I had my era. It’s these young fighters’ era now,” Money Mayweather said. “It’s OK for me to go fight a Khabib or a Conor – with those two fights alone, I could pick up $600 million. That don’t hurt to fight guys that just entertain. It’s all entertainment.”

Mayweather has been professionally retired since August of 2017, after beating McGregor, but competed in an exhibition match against kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in 2018.

McGregor retired for the third time in June and said on Twitter last week that his next fight would come against Manny Pacquiao in the Middle East.

Mayweather Vs Logan Paul mega-fight would be the “biggest mismatch in boxing history.”

Matchroom chief Eddie Hearn has claimed that the heavily rumoured Floyd Mayweather vs Logan Paul mega-fight would be the “biggest mismatch in boxing history.”

Speculation has mounted over a potential Mayweather vs Paul fight since YouTuber Keemstar claimed that a “boxing insider” told him the clash would take place in 2020.

And KSI’s former trainer Viddal Riley recently suggested that Mayweather and Paul were now “in talks” over the fight.

Hearn worked closely with Paul to promote the 25-year-old American star’s 2019 blockbuster boxing bout with fellow YouTube rival KSI.

However, the 41-year-old Matchroom chief praised Paul by saying he is “very, very bright,” but he insisted that he “shouldn’t be fighting Floyd Mayweather.”

Speaking to SPORTbible ahead of Mafia: Definitive Edition’s release, Hearn explained: “I can’t say too much because I did KSI-Logan Paul II, but it’s two guys at the same level, who didn’t like each other, who have 25million YouTube followers each and they could fight a little bit, but they trained hard [and] they did it properly. But it was a fifty-fifty match-up.

Joe Rogan Gives His Prediction For Floyd Mayweather vs Logan Paul Fight

Joe Rogan would back Logan Paul in an MMA fight against Floyd Mayweather.

The 50-0 boxer and YouTube star, who turned professional to fight rival KSI last year, have been rumoured to be mixing it up in a boxing superfight, continuing the absurdity that is 2020.

Rogan discussed the potential bout on his podcast and laughed off claims that Paul could beat ‘Money’ inside the squared circle.

In the cage, however, the UFC commentator believes it’s a different kettle of fish. Rogan thinks “really good athlete” Paul, with his wrestling experience, would be good value to win the contest.

He referenced a video of Paul training and hanging with UFC star Paulo Costa, who challenged Israel Adesanya for the middleweight title at UFC 253.

boxing exhibition Floyd Mayweather Face to Face YouTuber Logan Paul

Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul’s people are reportedly talking behind-the-scenes about a lucrative boxing exhibition bout.

Mayweather has not competed professionally since retiring after his 10th round stoppage win over Conor McGregor in 2017, but did take part in an exhibition bout against a young kickboxer called Tenshin Nasukawa in Japan.

Since then, he has expressed interest in an exhibition tour which could generate approximately $100 million.

Most recently, a non-professional fight involving the YouTube content creator has been rumored. TMZ Sports reported Thursday that setting up the fight has been discussed, as Paul’s representatives approached Mayweather’s about a bout.

Those close to Mayweather are more likely to reject the offer than accept it, according to the celebrity and entertainment news site.

TMZ Sports said Paul clearly wants the fight to happen, but is unable to publicly comment. “You know I can’t say s— right now,” he said.

Paul, 25, has limited boxing experience, having just one pro bout on his record — a 2019 loss to fellow YouTuber KSI. The pair also fought in an amateur bout in 2018, which ended in a draw.

Exhibition bouts are all the rage right now

Though Mayweather’s people are apparently preparing to refuse the exhibition offer, these types of events are proving popular in boxing.

Mike Tyson, 54, and Roy Jones Jr., 51, are scheduled to contest an eight-round exhibition in Carson, California, on November 28 in what is being billed as the first of many League of Legends showcases.

Paul’s younger brother Jake Paul is even taking part on the Tyson and Jones Jr. card as he is expected to fight the former basketball player Nate Robinson.
