Logan Paul vs. Floyd Mayweather: Date, venue, how to watch, more

After a storied career capped off with the second highest-grossing pay-per-view event of all time, Floyd Mayweather is considered by many to be the greatest boxer to ever live. He has mastered the art of defence, and turned world-class fighters to novices en route to a perfect 50-0 record.

After his mega-fight in 2017 which saw him defeat MMA superstar Conor McGregor via 10th round TKO, Floyd has been officially retired. In years following that event, we’ve seen a rise in the category of celebrity boxing, namely with the Paul brothers.

Both Jake and Logan Paul are superstars in their own right. Gaining massive worldwide followings through their YouTube and other social media channels, the Paul brothers understand how to captivate an audience. And lately, they’ve been crossing over into the world of boxing.

While big brother Logan has only one professional fight on his resume (a 6-round split-decision loss to YouTuber KSI) he has now secured one of the biggest fights in combat sports.
