Logan Paul carries no fear or worry of embarrassment into his exhibition showdown with Floyd Mayweather

Paul has just one pro fight on his resume, but he still thinks he'll be the man to stop Mayweather in his tracks
With a confidence bordering on arrogance and laced with a devilish smile, there's little question that Logan Paul brings with him a fair amount of danger into Sunday's Showtime PPV exhibition fight. What remains undetermined, however, is whether the YouTube star will end up being more of a danger to his opponent, retired pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather, or himself. Paul (0-1), the 26-year-old social media influencer and podcaster who has amassed over 28 million subscribers and 6 billion views on YouTube alone since 2007, didn't sign up for a boxing match so few are giving him a snowball's chance in hell of winning for the kinds of reward most in his spot might be chasing. Money and fame? Forget about it. Paul can already claim to have acquired a lifetime's share of both. So, what about things like the respect of the traditional boxing world as a "real" fighter, something that his younger brother, 24-year-old Jake Paul (3-0, 3 KOs), has publicly stated is his driving force? The "Maverick," despite his belief that the latter is inevitable should the Paul brothers keep winning, seems like he could care even less about the reality of obtaining it.More Related News
