Logan Paul explains why he has nothing to lose against Floyd Mayweather
Logan Paul is an internet sensation who made a gigantic and illustrious career out of his vines and music videos. He has only stepped into the boxing ring twice, both times against fellow YouTuber KSI. While the first match ended in a draw, the second fight saw KSI beat Logan Paul.
Floyd Mayweather is in the conversation for the greatest boxer of all time. So a loss on June 6 may only pinch Logan Paul, but it would be devastating for Floyd Mayweather as a boxer. Speaking with Showtime Sports, Logan Paul said:
"I have nothing to lose. I have absolutely nothing to lose. I don't care. I don't give a f**k about Floyd Mayweather or his 50-0 record. It means nothing to me. Not to mention, does he think I suck? In the past year and a half, we've got into a really good spot."
