This comment, which showed Paul’s intentions with the fight, also revealed what he wants to do after. However, only time will tell if Logan Paul can retire ‘TBE.’
Also, fans who hoped that there would be a rematch, may be disappointed. However, this will be good news for the traditional boxing fans who have criticized the event.
Can Logan Paul live up to his claims?
The claims from Paul will draw backlash, given his limited experience in the ring. Moreover, as he has no plans of continuing, it all but confirms he is doing this solely for the money. So, can ‘The Maverick’ back up his claims and exit the sport on a high?
Unfortunately for Logan Paul, beating Floyd Mayweather in a boxing match is an almost impossible task. The legendary boxer has an unbeaten record, and several champions, who have tried, have failed. In addition, the former multi-weight pugilist, who has stayed in shape, will come into the fight with an added motivation after the drama surrounding the press conference.

Therefore, if Paul is to retire after the fight, it looks increasingly likely he will leave the sport on a losing note. Moreover, given that this fight will not reflect on either fighters’ record, the YouTuber will quit the sport without an official win.

Thus, it is surprising that ‘The Maverick’ wants to call it quits after the Mayweather fight. If the event is a success, he could attract other names for a similar bout and continue to earn lucrative paychecks. Only time will tell if this comment holds value or not.
