Floyd Mayweather Says He Won’t Try To Knock Out Logan Paul In First Round

Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul are set to bring a big boxing match to fans on June 6th. Those fans laying down 50 bucks for the pay-per-view won’t be disappointed, because they will get a longer fight from Money.

While Mayweather has 50 wins, he’s not looking to close out Paul in a hurry. He wants to entertain the fans with this battle. That means Money won’t be going for a first round KO against his famous YouTuber opponent.

While speaking to the media, Floyd Mayweather made it clear that he wants Logan Paul to stick around longer than one round with him.

“We want to give the people entertainment. If I wanted to, I could go out there and if I want to I could knock him out in the first-round.”

Logan Paul is much taller than Money, but that isn’t worrying Mayweather, “Height doesn’t win fights, fighting wins fights,” Mayweather said confidently. “And one thing that I know how to do is fight.”

We’re not sure if Logan Paul feels the same way about not closing out this fight in the first round. Mayweather might have to use his speed to tire Logan out a bit before really laying in with the punches. We’ll keep a close eye on this situation as things heat up on their way to the June 6th event.
