Logan Paul was talking on his ‘Impaulsive’ podcast with the co-hosts, Mike Majlak and George Janko. The Hip Hop artist, Snoop Dogg was the guest for the episode.

In conversation, Majlak asked Paul about him recently trending on social media. Paul exclaimed that it might be because of Mayweather‘s recent showdown against ‘Dangerous’ Don Moore. He said, “You know why? This is actually funny because Floyd Mayweather just fought some random guy. No, it’s semi-random. Used to be his sparring partner. He whooped his a**.”
