Logan Paul’s $20m net worth explained ahead of Floyd Mayweather payday
Logan Paul will be a massive underdog when he shares the ring with Floyd Mayweather.
The two were set to trade leather in Los Angeles this weekend before the bout was postponed due to Covid-19 complications.
The bout will be an exhibition, and will not count towards either's professional records.
Paul has a record of 0-1, having only graced the ring as a pro to lose to fellow YouTube star KSI in 2019.
Mayweather, 43, will not be putting his undefeated record of 50-0 on the line, meaning neither has anything to lose in the exhibition.
Paul holds a significant weight and height advantage over Mayweather, but is still not expected to cause the older man any real problems.
