A long rumored fight is officially an attempt.
It was announced on Tuesday night that great boxer Floyd Mayweather and upstart Logan Paul will face each other at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami on June 6th.
On Tuesday, Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions, said BoxingScene.com should “stay tuned” as the Hall of Fame boxer and YouTube celebrity will box in an exhibition game this summer.
The two were originally supposed to use a February 20th card as their heading, but the fight was postponed in late January.
“There are a lot of people involved and you only have one shot at it, so you absolutely have to get it 1,000 percent right,” Paul said on his podcast when the news of the postponement came in late January. “We’re just making sure we do.
“But yeah, I’ll still hit the s – from Floyd Mayweather. Or maybe he’ll hit the s – from me, who knows? The point is, it will still happen.”
Now the fight will take place – and of course Twitter had a lot to say.
I want to find out. I just can’t accept that Logan is 220 pounds 6’2 and Floyd 5’8 is 150 pounds. They are just by no means real. I look forward to the conversation!

It’s crazy to me that the Floyd Mayweather freak show part is going to be the most profitable part after its heyday. https://t.co/SNdsqtClhH
