Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul Fight Ends In Boos, Mememakers Are The Clear Winners
The hyped-up fight between five-division world champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. and YouTuber Logan Paul ended in boos as the exhibition bout ended without a knockout or a winner, and Paul finishing the boxing match with fewer teeth will remain only a meme.
The fight, announced in December 2020 after Logan Paul challenged Mayweather to a fight, lasted for full eight three-minute rounds, with the 44-year-old undefeated world champion Mayweather dodging and blocking most punches his 26-year opponent threw at him.
The highlight of the match came in round four when, soon after Paul landed a couple of blows, Mayweather retaliated with an attack of his own.

I had fun, I’m not 21 anymore. He’s a great, young fighter better than I thought he was. He’s a tough raw competitor, I was surprised by him tonight.

"Logan Paul and Floyd Mayweather after fooling the whole world"
??? Mayweather literally said he wasn't going to knock Paul out. Where's the foolery. Mockery of boxing.
