Logan Paul claims Mayweather is training harder for his fight \u201cthan he did for Canelo\u201d BFFs\/Showtime Sports\/YouTubeDuring an appearance on the \u201cBFFs\u201d podcast, Logan Paul said he\u2019s heard Mayweather is pulling out all the stops preparing for their fight, training harder than he did for the 2013 brawl with Canelo Alvarez. The only problem is, that\u2019s not what his opponent is saying. The whole world is waiting to watch Logan Paul take on Floyd \u2018Money\u2019 Mayweather on June 6, and, according to the YouTuber, his opponent is training just as hard as he is, if not harder. During the BFF podcast, Paul told hosts Dave Portnoy, Josh Richards, and Brianna LaPaglia that he\u2019d heard Mayweather had been putting in more work than he did before the 2013 light middleweight championship match against Alvarez. (Content starts at 29:00 for mobile viewers.) \u201cI\u2019ll tell you, he\u2019s motivated,\u201d a straight-faced Paul told Portnoy. \u201cHis training partners are saying he\u2019s training harder than he did for Canelo, Harder than he did for McGregor. Like, he cares.\u201d Hard to believe? Well, Portnoy thought so as well, pressing Logan how he could honestly believe Mayweather was putting more stake in this fight than an actual championship bout. \u201cDude I got a text last night, 1:30 AM, they\u2019re like \u2018yo, just drove past Floyd and his boys running down the street in Vegas,’\u201d the YouTuber-turned-boxer said. \u201cHe trains late, he trains hard. He wants to be nonchalant about it, but he cares. Because he realized, if you get caught by the YouTuber, that\u2019s it, his legacy is f**ked.\u201d Sure enough, during the pre-fight media availability on June 3, Mayweather did seem pretty laid back about his training regimen, cracking jokes about how seriously he was taking it with the hosts. (Content starts at 1:58:30 for mobile viewers.) \u201cFor this, kinda trained a little bit, a little bit here and there, not everyday. But, I don\u2019t have to,\u201d Floyd said, letting everyone know just how much (or how little) of a threat he seems to think his opponent is. Right now, either fighter\u2019s story could be true. Mayweather could be taking things as seriously as Paul claims he is, or he\u2019s really going into this as casually as he says. One thing\u2019s for sure, we\u2019ll know, one way or the other, after the final bell rings on June 6.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
