Logan Paul claims WWE is more difficult than boxing Floyd Mayweather Jr. Associated PressLogan Paul made a shocking claim on his recent Pat McAfee Show appearance, telling viewers that Kevin Owens \u2014 not Floyd Mayweather Jr. \u2014 is the toughest opponent of his combat sports career. Logan Paul has gone from a social media star to a bonafide WWE superstar. But fans will remember that Paul had a brief boxing run before his professional wrestling career began. Paul\u2019s exhibition fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr., an undefeated former boxing champion, amassed over a million pay-per-view buys and helped build up the influencer scene in combat sports. In the lead-up to Wrestlemania 40, Paul appeared on the Pat McAfee Show and explained why fighting fellow WWE star Kevin Owens presents a tougher challenge than dealing with Mayweather Jr. \u201cI can\u2019t believe I\u2019m about to say this,\u201d Paul remarked. \u201cFighting Kevin Owens was harder than fighting Floyd Mayweather Jr.\u201d The live audience \u2014 and McAfee\u2019s crew \u2014 couldn\u2019t hide their shock. An audible \u201cwoah\u201d echoed throughout the arena. \u201cLet me tell you something,\u201d Paul continued. \u201cWrestling is the hardest thing I\u2019ve ever done in my life. There is no industry that requires the amount of skillsets like the WWE.\u201d Paul says that when he\u2019s boxing, he only has to focus on one thing \u2014 the man standing across from him. In the WWE, however, \u201cThe Maverick\u201d claims that there are more variables than fans could imagine. \u201cWhen I\u2019m wrestling, I\u2019m worried about 60,000 people in the arena, and it\u2019s my job to make sure they got their money\u2019s worth. And I take that very, very seriously,\u201d Paul explained. Owens, a long-time WWE veteran, is lauded as one of the best in-ring performers in the company. He demands excellence from any opponent. Paul naming \u201cKO\u201d as his most formidable opponent says as much about professional wrestling as it does Owens. For WWE athletes, it\u2019s all about putting on a show for every fan in attendance. In boxing, the only thing that matters is winning. That, Paul says, is the difference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
