After a series of exciting undercard fights, the Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul bout is finally here. And given the build-up to the bout and the event itself, it was certain that we would see something out of the ordinary. This came when Logan Paul walked out for the bout.

The event already had many talking points, including a wet canvas. However, this could still not be the biggest talking point. One aspect that many would have missed was Paul’s choice of jewelry for the walkout.

The 0-1 boxer walked out wearing a fairly subdued gold gown and trunks. However, the real attraction of his walkout was his chain. ‘The Maverick’ wore what looked like his $2 million Pokemon card around his neck as he stepped through the ropes.
