If five years ago you were told Logan Paul, a youtube personality would fight the undisputed greatest boxer of the 2010s, Floyd Mayweather you would laugh at the idea. However, on Sunday evening Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul agreed to an exhibition, after weeks of trash talk on Twitter. 

Other than a three-round exhibition in 2018, Floyd Mayweather has not had an official boxing match since he last faced Conor McGregor in 2017, in which he won to improve his record to 50-0. Floyd, now 43, decided that now was the time for him to re-enter the boxing ring. Many people believe Floyd only took this fight for two reasons: The first Floyd will probably get a win because Logan Paul is a pretty inexperienced boxer. The second Floyd will probably make a ton of money from this fight. Floyd has all the odds pointing his way due to his experience, as well him never losing a fight before. However, Logan has two advantages over Floyd: Logan is 25, while Floyd is 43. Also, Logan Paul is 6-2, 199 pounds, while Floyd is much smaller at 5-9, 147 pounds. 

Logan Paul has been seen in the boxing ring twice against the same opponent KSI, a youtube from Europe, in those two fights Logan is 0-1-1.  Logan has gone the distance in both fights and if not for a two-point deduction in the last fight, from punching KSI while he was going down to the ground, Logan would have beaten KSI. Other than those two fights Logan has no experience in boxing, however, he was a high school wrestler who earned a scholarship to wrestle at Ohio University. Logan Paul started boxing in 2018, so he does not have much experience, but who knows Logan has a much further reach the Mayweather and you are always one punch away from getting knocked out.

There are no details on how many rounds the fight will be, but the fight is already for sale at 24.99 but will rise to 69.99 by the day of the fight. Floyd is the favorite but you never know in boxing.
