Time, television and everything you need to know about Floyd Mayweather’s return to boxing in a fight against youtuber Logan Paul.
The Money will compete in an exhibition match at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium against a social media celebrity who he thinks can beat him.
All boxing fans expected that Floyd Mayweather Jr, one of the greatest champions of this sport and one of the most charismatic figures, would make his return this Sunday in an exhibition match at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami (Florida) against the youtuber Logan Paul, a celebrity with little experience in the ring but with the necessary media coverage to be part of a millionaire event. The confrontation will begin at 9:00 p.m. (Argentina time) and will be televised by ESPN in Latin America.
Mayweather, who has not fought for a professional boxing title since defeating Andre Berto in 2015 and who last stepped into the ring in 2018 to fight Japanese kickboxing champion Tenshin Nasukawa, ends his hiatus at age 44 for “Entertain and generate money”
Floyd began this practice of scouting for opponents outside of boxing with his 2017 fight with Conor McGregor, which drew 4.3 million viewers on pay-per-view (PPV), and has already spread beyond the boundaries of the sport. For this reason, he will face an inexperienced rival who plays in his favor: the promoters estimate that two million people will buy the PPV, which is priced at $ 49.99 in the United States.
Logan Paul’s preparation for his fight with Floyd Mayweather
Logan Paul is a 26-year-old who made a million dollars posting daily vlogs on the Internet. Boxing is something that he and his brother Jake have started to dabble in. Logan faced the British youtuber KSI in a fight that ended in a draw in Manchester in August 2018. Both parties agreed to a “rematch” in November 2019 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, with a more professional tone. That loss was his only formal submission, but it was such a successful event that it stuck in his memory. (This information will be updated soon).
