He also came up with a piece of advice for ‘TBE’s next potential opponent, and stated, “don’t let him control the money.”

The lanky Logan Paul gave a stern outing to Mayweather in their 8-round tussle. He started the fight on a good note, thus landing a barrage of punches in the final seconds of round 1. In the later rounds, Mayweather held control of the fight, and he did not let Paul land his best punches.

On the other hand, ‘The Maverick’ had an advantage over his physique, with which he distanced himself from Mayweather many times.

‘Pretty Boy’ is capable of fighting till the last gong. But the YouTuber wasn’t quite acquainted with the same. That said, he definitely looked tired but ended up fighting to a draw.
