Wolf of Wall Street Jordan Belfort claims Logan Paul vs Floyd Mayweather was \u201cobviously\u201d staged SHOWTIME, Amanda Westcott \/ YouTube: FULL SEND PODCASTFormer stockbroker and famed \u2018Wolf of Wall Street\u2019 Jordan Belfort weighed in on the recent fight between Logan Paul and Floyd Mayweather\u2026 but he\u2019s not convinced their bout was for real. On June 6, 2021, YouTube star Logan Paul touched gloves with undefeated boxing champion Floyd \u2018Money\u2019 Mayweather in a match that no one saw coming. Surprising everyone, Paul managed to go the distance against his decorated opponent \u2014 although that didn\u2019t stop speculation that Mayweather allegedly held up a KO\u2019d Logan to sell the match as a Rocky-esque Cinderella story. The fight made headlines for weeks afterwards and was the talk of social media for far longer. In fact, the story is still in the mouths of just about everyone, and was brought up during a recent episode of the NELK Boys\u2019 FULL SEND podcast. View this post on Instagram Paul\u2019s boxing success caught the eye of Jordan Belfort, known as the \u2018Wolf of Wall Street\u2019 thanks to his highly-acclaimed novel of the same name, which details the\u2026 interesting life he led as a fraudster and hugely profitable stockbroker.

Belfort admitted that he admired Logan Paul\u2019s tenacity, but wasn\u2019t wholly convinced that his match with Mayweather wasn\u2019t fixed. \u201cI think it\u2019s amazing,\u201d he admitted. \u201cI have tremendous respect for Logan Paul for what he\u2019s pulled off with that whole thing, because he lost all his fights. It\u2019s amazing. To me, that\u2019s resiliency. It really is. I have respect for him.\u201d \u201cEveryone said there\u2019s no way he lasts a round,\u201d NELK member Kyle Forgeard interjected. \u201cThat, to me, is not why I respect him,\u201d Belfort replied. \u201cThat was obviously staged, that whole thing. \u2026 Number one, it was an exhibition match. It wasn\u2019t a professional fight, so to say that it was staged wouldn\u2019t be the end of the world.\u201d Read More: Top 20 most followed Twitch streamers – \u201cI didn\u2019t mean that in a derogatory way at all,\u201d he continued. \u201cI didn\u2019t mean it to belittle what they did. What I\u2019m saying is that the purpose of that fight wasn\u2019t for Mayweather to knock out Logan Paul. The purpose was to entertain people and set up the next fight.\u201d (Topic begins at 43:20) Whatever the case might actually be, it\u2019s clear that Belfort isn\u2019t alone in his thinking, but so far, there hasn\u2019t been any word on a rematch between the 50-0 champ and his YouTuber opponent. Instead, it looks like Logan has sized up a potential bout with none other than Mike Tyson, although we\u2019re still in the dark as to who exactly Paul wants for his next bout \u2014 whenever that may be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
