Best memes to emerge on social media after Floyd Mayweather's 8 round borefest against Logan Paul
Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul went all eight rounds with each other in an exhibition boxing match on Sunday, June 6, 2021, at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.
With the bout being an exhibition match and the two fighters having a significant difference in size and reach, the Florida State Boxing Commission announced it to be an unsanctioned contest, meaning no judges were scoring the bout. For anyone who understands combat sports, 'Money' Mayweather was clearly the winner of the match as far as points go.
However, fans had expected a better show from the two of them, especially after the kind of build-up the pay-per-view event had, in which Logan's younger brother Jake Paul contributed as well. They expected there to be at least a few knockdowns to compensate for the fact that there would be no official winner. Unfortunately, their expectations weren't met.
The fans' disappointment quickly became evident on social media, as fans started sharing numerous memes and funny videos.

Some made fun of it by saying that Jake Paul's scuffle with Floyd Mayweather's bodyguards after the former ran away with the latter's hat at the press conference was a better fight than the actual bout itself.
Few brought up Floyd Mayweather's last opponent, Conor McGregor, who got knocked out in the tenth round of their 2017 match of twelve rounds.
After the match was over, Jake Paul posted on social media that he considered this a win for his brother. That did not sit well with fans either.
