Dana White roasts \u201cstate of boxing\u201d over Mayweather vs Logan Paul fight Wikimedia commons: Andrius Petrucenia\/YouTube: Logan PaulDana White took a shot at the current state of boxing when asked about the upcoming Floyd Mayweather vs Logan Paul fight by the NELK Boys, offering his best wishes to the YouTuber. Since YouTuber boxing matches started happening all the way back in 2018, a few winners have tried their luck in calling out bigger and brighter stars, with some just focusing on wanting to fight professional athletes. Jake Paul finally broke the mold with his knockout win over former NBA star Nate Robinson and used that to call out Conor McGregor as well as a few others. While, on the other hand, his brother Logan finally caught the big fish \u2013 signing up for an exhibition bout with Floyd Mayweather that\u2019ll take place in February. Though there is interest in the fight as a spectacle, it has been ridiculed by some boxing purists, even though there is support for YouTubers in boxing from the likes of Mike Tyson. However, Dana White used the announcement as a chance to throw shade on his competitors. White joined the NELK Boys on their December 6 stream, where after a few minutes of talking about the UFC, he was asked for his thoughts on the Floyd vs Logan Paul exhibition bout. \u201cWhen people ask me whats the state of boxing right now, that\u2019s where it\u2019s at. I mean, didn\u2019t that kid get beat up by the f**king video game kid from England?\u201d said the UFC president, referencing Paul\u2019s defeat to KSI. \u201cAnd now, he\u2019s going to fight Floyd Mayweather?\u201d White also pointed out that there is a bit of a weight difference too, given that Floyd usually boxes at around 146-150 lbs. \u201cDoesn\u2019t he weigh 200 pounds too?\u201d asked White. \u201cI don\u2019t know. Good luck to him.\u201d In terms of Logan having a chance against Mayweather, early odds for their February match up have the undefeated boxing superstar as a heavy, heavy favorite \u2013 with the Paul brother needing a miracle to win. The fight will be shown live on Fanmio, on February 20, and you can find every other detail you need about it in our hub, here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
