Logan Paul has fought before. He twice fought vlogger and rapper Olajide “KSI” Olatunji with the first bout ending in a draw and a second with KSI’s victory over Paul.
Mayweather, who was undefeated in his career with a record of 50-0, is considered one of boxing’s all-time greats.
He retired in 2017 after defeating Conor McGregor, a fight that Forbes estimated generated more than $550 million in revenue. Mayweather earned a reported $275 million, a sum generated both from his roles as fighter and also promoter.
“As of right now, I’m doing exhibitions,” Mayweather told CNN en Español’s Raul Saenz earlier this year. “I’m 100% sure that I’m not fighting against any boxer anymore.”
He announced in 2019 he was “coming out of retirement in 2020.”
