Obviously, this is going to sell an absurd amount of PPVs. I have no doubt at all about that. People are going to watch the hell out of this.

Having said that, am I insane or should we all expect Logan Paul to win this fight? Am I crazy for saying that?

Logan Paul is 6’2″ and roughly 200 pounds. Mayweather is in the ballpark of 5’7″ and 154 pounds. The social media sensation is a giant compared to the boxing legend.

Mayweather is without question a better boxer, but he’s about to fight a guy who has about 50 pounds on him.

What is going to happen if Paul manages to land a direct punch to Mayweather’s face? Will he not put him down for the count?

I think the stats I just threw out are why people are going to be so interested in this fight. It features arguably the greatest boxer of all-time against a man with a little boxing experience and a huge size advantage.

If that doesn’t make you interested, then I don’t know what will.
