After months of excitement and hype, the highly anticipated bout between Logan Paul and Floyd Mayweather finally took place on June 6. In the end, the 8-round exhibition fight went the distance, with Mayweather controlling the pace of the action with his signature defensive style. Despite this, Mayweather did receive some criticism over his performance, with Paul even pointing out that the Hall of Famer was \u201cslower than expected\u201d. Well, Mayweather\u2019s promoter Leonard Ellerbe has claimed that Floyd didn\u2019t take the fight seriously and that Paul is lucky Mayweather didn\u2019t go through a full training camp. Promoter claims Mayweather didn\u2019t take Paul fight seriously In an interview with TheMacLife, Floyd Mayweather\u2019s promoter Leonard Ellerbe claimed the undefeated boxer didn\u2019t take the fight seriously at all. Despite only doing the minimum amount of prep heading into the bout, Ellerbe voiced that Mayweather was the one pressing the action and looking to fight, whereas Paul was just moving into grapple. \u201cHe\u2019d have f***ed him up [if he had a full training camp] but Floyd wasn\u2019t taking none of this seriously\u2026 Floyd was walking him down the whole 8 rounds, he wasn\u2019t running around the ring, the little guy was walking the big guy down,\u201d he said. Topic starts at 0:16 It\u2019s obvious Ellerbe believes that if Mayweather decided to go through a whole camp, it\u2019s likely he would have been able to knock Paul out during the fight. Although it\u2019s impossible to know whether this is true, even Floyd reiterated in the post-fight conference that he only trained twice a week for the bout. Mayweather certainly isn\u2019t renowned for his aggressive boxing style, but it would\u2019ve been interesting to see the undefeated boxer in peak condition. While no one came out on top in the end, it\u2019s safe to say we\u2019ll be seeing both Mayweather and Paul back in the ring again. The question is, who will each of them decide to take on next?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Floyd Mayweather\u2019s promoter says he didn\u2019t take Logan Paul fight seriously YouTube:TheMacLifeFloyd Mayweather\u2019s promoter has claimed that the undefeated boxer didn\u2019t take the Logan Paul fight seriously, and if he\u2019d have done a full training camp, he\u2019d have \u201cf***ed\u201d Paul up.
