Who is Logan Paul?
The 27-year-old native of Ohio and his brother, Jake, became famous for their videos on Vine and YouTube. Paul then moved to Los Angeles and tried his hand at all kinds of entertainment, from movies to TV to managing a clothing line. There have been many controversial episodes in his life: in 2018, he was heavily criticized for filming a dead body in a Japanese forest (known as the Suicide Forest). But his fans don't seem to care about all that: his YouTube channel has over 22 million subscribers.
As far as sports go, Paul has been an athlete since high school. In 2018, he fought against British YouTuber KSI (whose real name is Olajide William Olatunji). In 2019, the two held a rematch considered a true match between professionals, which ended in a points victory for KSI. Now, Paul will challenge a true legend, an icon of boxing history.
Who is Floyd Mayweather Jr.?
Floyd Mayweather Jr. is 44 years old. He has won 15 major world titles in five weight classes, with a record of 50-0, a bronze medal at the 1996 Olympics, and three US Golden Gloves championships.
The event, also advertised as Bragging Rights, will see the return to the ring of "Money" after 2 and a half years from his exhibition with Tenshin Nasukawa.
But why is the undefeated former champion facing a YouTuber who has never won a fight? It's not boxing: the match won't count towards statistics, it will be an exhibition. The two will fight for money (a lot) and fame.
In the summer of 2017, Floyd Mayweather Jr. stepped into the ring against UFC star Conor McGregor. The fight took place at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, and Mayweather defeated McGregor in the tenth round by technical knockout, extending his personal record to 50 wins and 0 losses (50-0). Mayweather was guaranteed a compensation of $100 million, while McGregor received a prize of $30 million. However, the earnings received by the two fighters are believed to be much higher, with a gain of over $300 million for Mayweather, and $100 million for McGregor.
