[jwplayer mgzBNoPb] Back in September, reports started to come out that the unlikely pairing would face off in the ring at some point, with Logan clearly not scared off by Floyd\u2019s incredible 50-0 unbeaten record. On September 16, former NFL kicker Pat McAfee reported that \u201ca contract has been signed\u201d for an exhibition match between the two though, since then, there has been little more said in regards to the fight. A contract has been signed and the fight is happening@FloydMayweather vs @LoganPaul #PatMcAfeeShowLIVE pic.twitter.com\/b3MwBzW0fR \u2014 Pat McAfee (@PatMcAfeeShow) September 16, 2020 That was until the early hours of the morning on Thursday, November 19, when Floyd Mayweather tagged Logan in a tweet, directly calling him out in response to the YouTuber\u2019s boasts that he could beat Floyd. \u201cThese YouTube girls better find some Barbie dolls to play with \u2018cause I\u2019m not the one for the kid games,\u201d Mayweather said. \u201c3 years ago a fighter from the UFC said my name and I had to put a muzzle on that b**ch. @LoganPaul can get the same treatment before I go conquer Japan again.\u201d While a tweet like this would usually intimidate possible opponents, or just about anyone else in the world, Logan wasn\u2019t phased at all. He simply made a very bold prediction for the fight, saying \u201c50-1,\u201d implying he plans to end Floyd\u2019s incredible unbeaten streak. Like Floyd said, though, the last person to challenge him was Conor McGregor, one of the most successful fighters in the UFC, and even he looked unlikely throughout the duration of the fight to even hope for a win. Just as everything was going quiet on the fight front between these two, fans will welcome the trash talk going on, and definitely suggests that things are heating up, so maybe fans will have more to look forward to in the near future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Floyd Mayweather calls out Logan Paul as fight rumors intensify Instagram: loganpaul, floydmayweatherBoxing legend Floyd Mayweather has officially called out YouTuber Logan Paul, warranting a confident response from the social media star, as things heat up in relation to their rumored fight.
