While Floyd Mayweather is the ultimate favorite against Logan Paul, some factors might bring an itch to the odds. ‘The Maverick’ is massive. He is taller than Mayweather and also has a serious advantage in weight.

It is no surprise that Logan Paul would try to use those factors in his favor. But Mayweather isn’t intimidated that easily. Instead, he is confident about vanquishing the YouTuber in their upcoming faceoff.

Solomon Engel, the CEO of Fanmio, connected with Sun Sports to shed more light on Mayweather vs Logan Paul. He is the man to set up the fight, putting retirement out of Mayweather’s career once again.

He added, “I can tell you we are very bullish on beating that number and possibly by a long shot. We have already sold a great deal of PPVs, which is kind of unheard of early on.”
