“‘What? He Was the Best Ever?’”- Eddie Hearn Says Floyd Mayweather Looked ’Terrible Against Logan Paul
Follow Us
Floyd Mayweather might have had the worst fighting experience of his career against Logan Paul, as he failed to secure a win. The eight-round battle went to the distance, and we saw the YouTuber get violent on Mayweather several times. Although ‘Money’ earned a lucrative payday, several boxing pundits, including Eddie Hearn, have ridiculed his stance.
The Matchroom Chairman expressed concern for the unbeaten boxer in a chat with DAZN. Eddie Hearn said, “The person this looks worse on than anybody – and he probably don’t care – is Floyd. Because I thought Floyd looked quite terrible. If you’re a young fan, you look and go, ‘What? He was the best ever?’”
