“He’s Just Mad Floyd Didn’t Pay Him”: Fans Sound Off as Logan Paul Snubs Floyd Mayweather to Brand KSI as His Toughest Opponent

In the realm of boxing and internet stardom, Logan Paul has etched his name in a curious trajectory. As he readies himself to step back into the squared circle, this time against Dillon Danis, the waves of chatter and scrutiny continue to surround him. The stage is set for their clash on October 14, 2023, at the Misfits X DAZN event in Manchester, England.

Paul’s boxing journey has been a whirlwind of triumphs and tribulations. With a professional record of no wins, the ‘Maverick’ has yet to get a professional victory inside the squared circle. However, a stark testament to his roller-coaster ride are his encounters with two vastly different opponents – KSI and Floyd Mayweather.

The YouTube star made his debut against KSI with the match ending in a majority draw. However, this led to another fight between the two, culminating in a split-decision loss for Paul in 2019. ‘The Maverick’ also faced Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition bout in 2021 going the distance. Although he has faced both KSI and ‘Money’ inside the ring, Paul’s recent comments on who his toughest opponent was, has caused a stir online.

What stirred the pot was Paul’s audacious claim during an interview with Misfits Boxing. He boldly asserted that KSI posed a more formidable challenge than Mayweather. The tenacity and fire of ‘The Nightmare,’ resonated with the Ohio native in a way that the boxing prowess of Mayweather did not.

“He’s just a dog like he has this tenacity and this intensity that I have never seen, like when you’re in the ring with him he wants to kill you” said Paul.

However, this only acted as a match to a powder keg, inviting a barrage of mockery and incredulity from fans. Paul snubbing Mayweather, an icon known for his skill and dominance, to assert KSI’s supremacy, became the epicenter of debates across online platforms.

A user claimed that Paul chose KSI because Mayweather had yet to pay him for thier exhibition.

Another user added that ‘TBE’ wasn’t taking Paul seriously as their bout was an exhibition.

Moreover, a user even thought Paul supported KSI more than his own brother, Jake.

A user even mocked Paul for making this an obvious attempt to show his business partner in a good light.

However, a user was happy to see KSI and Paul become friends and business partners after their longstanding rivalry.

In the midst of the controversy, one cannot help but wonder if Paul’s statements are fueled by genuine conviction or a desire to stir the pot for attention. As he prepares to face Dillon Danis, his takes cause more drama, offering fans yet another reason to tune in and watch ‘The Maverick’ in action with the broader narrative of his career choices and the dynamics of spectacle versus sport remaining at the forefront of discussions within the combat sports community.
