Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather fought Logan Paul in a catch-weight fight on June 6 this month. Many people termed the fight as a freak show as Mayweather fought a social media star. Logan Paul came into the fight with the experience of a single boxing match, which he had lost as well. Still, the fight ended up as an exciting contest after it went eight three-minute rounds.

It was a successful event for both Logan Paul and Floyd Mayweather as they grabbed a big payday. According to reports, ‘The Maverick’ earned 20 million dollars whereas his opponent ‘Money’ Mayweather bagged an enormous sum of somewhere between 50-100 million dollars. This was possible because both fighting and non-fighting fans were interested to see the fight. One such fan that tuned in to watch the battle was Joe Rogan.

“I think the whole thing is pretty fascinating. First of all @FloydMayweather is a fuc***g genius in more ways than one. He’s arguably the greatest boxer of all time, and in the twilight of his career he’s managed to make hundreds of millions of dollars fighting people who really don’t have a chance to beat him. Just f***ing genius.”

Logan Paul has impressed Joe Rogan

Rogan was one guy who was super excited about this fight. He constantly talked about it on his podcast where he showed his interest in watching the fight. Rogan praised the undefeated boxer for his intelligence of making an enormous amount of money after his retirement from professional boxing.
