Internet reacts to Logan Paul vs Floyd Mayweather boxing match Amanda Westcott for SHOWTIMEThe internet was left stunned when YouTuber turned boxer Logan Paul went the distance against one of the greatest fighters of all time, Floyd Mayweather, in their June 7 exhibition bout. Despite the match having strange rules, such as not having a winner announced, many expected or in some cases wanted to see Logan Paul get knocked out. However, the influencer managed to defy the odds and emerge not only in one piece, but a few million dollars richer. The draw result has even lead to some crazy new theories from people who can\u2019t believe Logan survived. The latest of which is that Floyd actually held Logan up after knocking him out in order to make sure the fight went the distance. While this conspiracy itself is quite wild, others had far more tame verdicts on the outcome. Get your tinfoil hats out everyone. The latest conspiracy is that Floyd KO’d Logan but held him up to make sure it went the distance.https:\/\/t.co\/x6VNjqlNKX \u2014 Dexerto (@Dexerto) June 7, 2021 Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy took to Twitter to claim that calling the bout \u201clegalized burglary was probably right\u201d seeing as how much money both fighters made. As Dexerto previously reported, Mayweather alone teased that he was looking at $80M for the fight, not counting any PPV payouts or sponsor fees. Logan wins. Floyd wins. \u201cLegalized burglary\u201d was prob right \u2014 Dave Portnoy (@stoolpresidente) June 7, 2021 Streamer Jack \u2018CouRage\u2019 Dunlop seemed to echo Portnoy\u2019s take, claiming that both Floyd and Logan Paul won. \u201cThey just made so much money,\u201d he wrote. There are two winners tonight: Logan Paul and Floyd Mayweather. They just made so much money. \u2014 Jack \u201cCouRage\u201d Dunlop (@CouRageJD) June 7, 2021 Former UFC champion Daniel Cormier was impressed with Logan lasting the whole eight rounds, but wasn\u2019t pleased with Mayweather. \u201cHats off to Logan Paul. He went 8 rounds with [the] greatest boxer ever. Not a good look for Floyd,\u201d he wrote, which even earned a \u201cthanks DC\u201d from one half of the Paul brother duo. Speaking of his brother, Jake Paul seemed convinced that Logan actually won the fight, making several tweets celebrating his elder sibling\u2019s \u201cvictory.\u201d \u201c50-1\u201d he exclaimed, believing that Mayweather actually suffered the first loss of his career. \u201cHoly f**k. My brother just beat Floyd Mayweather.\u201d Considering the fact Mayweather\u2019s own promoter believes he didn\u2019t take the fight seriously, it would have been interesting to see how the bout would have played out had he done a full training camp. Certainly, the internet would have been more impressed with the matchup itself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
