It\u2019s no secret that the Paul brothers are prone to getting into beef with high-profile celebrities; from Jake Paul\u2019s feuds with Soulja Boy and Chris Brown to Logan\u2019s argument with G-Eazy, these two seem like firecrackers ready to pop off at any moment. Combined with their boxing history, it also comes as little surprise that the brothers are raring to throw down in the ring, octagon, or even the street, as told by Logan during a paparazzi interview in mid-November. After being caught out by cameras at night, Paul began to speak on his potential boxing match with Floyd Mayweather, which was teased (but never confirmed) in September. \u201cIf I caught Floyd in a real fight \u2014 street fight? Whoop his a**,\u201d Paul claimed. \u201cNo question. MMA? Octagon? Whoop his a**. The only place I think Floyd is safe is obviously the boxing ring, but to be honest, I don\u2019t give a f**k.\u201d \u201cIf I caught Floyd with one punch, I would snap this f**ker in half,\u201d he continued, drawing some exclamations from the crowd. \u201cI\u2019m eight inches taller. I\u2019m 40 pounds heavier. I\u2019m half his age. I\u2019m two times as hungry, and ten times as smart.\u201d \u201cBro, think about it \u2014 he\u2019s got everything to lose,\u201d he added. \u201cI got nothing to lose. That\u2019s it. Mr Money wants a money fight? Let\u2019s f**king go.\u201d View this post on Instagram Paul later uploaded the interview clip to his Instagram page, where he tagged Mayweather in the caption. While it seems like Paul\u2019s confidence is sky-high, his fanbase isn\u2019t taking the interview all too well, with many commenters bringing up Paul\u2019s loss to fellow YouTuber KSI in their split-decision bout from 2019. \u201cYou gotta be joking bro, right?\u201d one viewer wrote. \u201cYou couldn\u2019t even crack KSI,\u201d yet another said. Despise the backlash, Paul has ever been an influencer to fly in the faces of his haters\u2019 expectations, having made an unprecedented comeback in his career since the incident from 2018. The Logan Paul vs Floyd Mayweather fight is still up in the air \u2014 but considering Paul\u2019s scathing comments, there\u2019s no telling what will go down in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Logan Paul sparks backlash after bragging he can beat Floyd Mayweather YouTube: Logan Paul \/ REVOLT TVYouTube star-turned-professional boxer Logan Paul seems to have bitten off more than he can chew after bragging that he could beat the one and only Floyd Mayweather in a street fight.
