‘Money Mayweather’ tweeted, “These YouTube girls better find some Barbie dolls to play with cause I’m not the one for the kid games. 3 years ago a fighter from the UFC said my name and I had to put a muzzle on that b**ch. @loganpaul can get the same treatment before I go conquer Japan again.”

There are a few aspects to this tweet from Mayweather. Firstly, he expresses his opinion on the YouTube boxing concept and calls it ‘kid games’. He also takes a swipe at UFC star Conor McGregor and reminds everyone of the treatment he gave him. Finally, he confirms his plans of conquering Japan after the latest reports surrounding his return.

Fans may tune in to watch the legend come back to the sport; or they could be put off by the fight since Paul is not a professional fighter. Either way, things seem to be heating up between the two and it could happen. Do you think Floyd Mayweather will actually return to face Logan Paul?
