YouTube boxer, Logan Paul, appears ready to lock horns against the unbeaten Floyd Mayweather and is adamant about bagging a fight date. Despite having no official developments, Paul continues to work hard at the gym despite having no official date to prepare for.

Earlier the fight was slated to happen at Tokyo Dome, Japan, on February 20. However, Mayweather and his team delayed the contest due to some unknown reasons. That said, ‘Maverick’ had never called off the fight officially from his end.

While there’s no news of any development of the ongoing talks, ‘The Maverick’ has taken it to social media to interact with Mayweather. He posted a video of his training and wrote, “Waiting on the new date”, before tagging Floyd Mayweather.

He even showcased his boxing abilities on a heavy bag. However, will it help him attract the attention of the former five-division world champion? Clearly yes, since Mayweather has also desired for the fight alongside several more exhibitions in 2021.

On his return to boxing, the 43-year-old wants to have numerous appearances. He has also called out Logan Paul’s brother Jake Paul and rapper 50 Cent for in-ring exhibitions. So, it might be a reason why Mayweather has postponed his encounter with Logan Paul.

One prime reason can be the advertisement poll, as both the contenders would garner more PPV numbers and popularity with proper advertising of their collision. Being a boxing elite, Mayweather’s stance on facing an Internet superstar is unique. But, a lack of reach can put a dent in their plans of popularizing the event.

Apart from that, fan-attendance is still a confusion for the sporting events. Meanwhile, Mayweather has never fought in a closed arena in his pro career. So, he might have planned to drag the date to appear in front of a packed arena. But, ‘Maverick‘ is desperate for the date, and Mayweather might have to take a call pretty soon.
