While talking about Paul in a JRE episode with stand-up comedians Shane Gillis, Mark Normand, and Ari Shaffir, Rogan said, He (Logan Paul) has done a lot of sh*t, man. I mean, you gotta give the guy props. He is not lazy. He fought Floyd Mayweather in a boxing match. I don’t care if he is 50 pounds heavier than him. It’s Floyd f**king Mayweather.”

After acknowledging Rogan’s praises, Paul took to his official Instagram account to respond to it. He made a funny video asking his friend Mike Majlak to humble him, as Rogan’s praises astounded him, and uploaded it on his Instagram stories. Logan said, “Bro, they were gassing me up on Rogan. And my ego is kinda inflated. Would you mind humbling me?”

Jake made his boxing debut in 2020 with a stunning knockout win over AnEsonGib. Later, he won two more matches via a T/KO. In his fourth boxing match, Jake defeated the former UFC champion Tyron Woodley via decision.

However, in the rematch with Woodley, Jake earned a straight knockout win, making his record 5-0. Meanwhile, Logan is 0-1 in professional boxing and has a draw against Mayweather in an exhibition match.

Pointing at his knockout, win over Woodley, Rogan in the same episode said, “He’s got the power, out of the two of them. Like, Logan is a really good athlete. But he is not as good of a boxer. But Jake Paul on top of being a better boxer, he’s got like legit power.”
