The success of the event headlined by Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr., at the end of November, appears to have had an effect on promotional phenomenon, Floyd Mayweather. Boxing legend, the multiple world champion confirmed an exhibition fight against youtuber American Logan Paul. According to the veteran, the clash will take place on February 20, with no official location. The information was released by the protagonists on their social networks.

Just like the show promoted by Tyson and Jones Jr., the fight between Floyd and Logan will not be within the official boxing rules. The confrontation will take place in such a way that the result will not change Mayweather's undefeated record, who has never lost in his career, in 50 engagements in the 'noble art'.
Although he is not a success in Brazil, Paul is a true phenomenon among North American digital influencers. With more than 20 million subscribers on his channel, the star has become something of a 'handyman'. He produces videos, sings, acts and now wants to venture into boxing. Although he has little experience, the youtuber The 25-year-old has competed in two boxing matches, winning one (amateur boxing, in 2018) and losing in his professional debut (2019), both against internet celebrity 'KSI'.
On February 20, when the challenge takes place, Floyd will be days away from turning 44. The legend of the 'noble art' has not performed since December 2018, when he beat Tenshin Nasukawa in the RIZIN, in an exhibition fight.
Known for being one of the highest-paid athletes in the history of sports, Floyd hopes to be successful in his new project. Pay-per-view sales have already started. The price of the package is initially worth $25 (approximately R$127). Prices will increase as the fight date approaches.
