Logan Paul has so many career choices ahead of him. Last year he had an exhibition fight against Mayweather, and now he also has two consecutive WrestleMania appearances. With so much on the plate, it seems beyond anyone’s guess where Paul would finally land. Wherever he does, spectators cannot help but ask how he copes with his life?

During his interview with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour, Logan Paul, in a very philosophical tone, narrated a theory of connected disconnectedness. Regarding Helwani’s question on how he coped with nerves from the ‘big events’, Paul answered thoughtfully. “I’ve almost mastered the art of connected disconnectedness.” You realize life will play out as it will”.

“And you kind of surrender to what will happen,” he said. “Part of me thought I would die when I fought Floyd Mayweather,” Paul added.

While explaining how Paul dealt with himself in front of over 70,000 people, he touched upon his fight with ‘Money’ Mayweather. In his heart, somewhere, he felt he would have had died. Luckily, he learned to let life take its own turn.

Logan Paul and his battle with Mayweather

The Maverick is making headlines, one after the other. He is almost everywhere with his presence. When Paul fought Mayweather last year, he embarked on a journey to make the impossible possible. He attempted to hand ‘Money‘ Mayweather his first defeat in professional boxing. But, the bout ended in a majority draw.

Despite the result, Logan Paul went on to say he had already done the impossible. For him, surviving 8 rounds with Mayweather was more than everything.

However, it is quite hard to agree with what Logan Paul strongly believes. Despite being taller and much bigger than Mayweather, he could only land 13% of whatever he had thrown. Whereas, Mayweather, who had to cope with a 6-inch reach disadvantage and weighed 35lbs less, landed 43% of his attempts on Paul! One might as well just say that Paul would have barely survived the fight had it not been for his height and extra weight.
