Floyd Mayweather couldn’t touch the benchmark set by himself, as he failed to win the exhibition bout against Logan Paul. It was ended as a draw because none of the men could knock each other out. However, the in-ring outcome has apparently put Mayweather in the clutches of criticism.

While he failed to go 1-0 over a YouTuber, we might have seen the last of Floyd Mayweather. Aged 44, he has clearly passed his prime. However, the 5-division world champion had vowed to appear in several exhibition bouts ahead.

While he denied making such a move in a post-fight presser, another lucrative pay-check can urge him to respond and face another boxer. Here’s a look at what’s next for Mayweather.
