Floyd Mayweather: One of the greatest and most gifted fighters we've ever seen, undefeated in 50 fights.

Logan Paul: A controversial YouTuber, lost his only professional bout.

Surely the two would never, ever meet in the ring. That's just silly talk, right?

Erm, well, money talks and according to TMZ, social media star Paul, 25, has approached Mayweather, 43, about potentially fighting in an exhibition bout later this year.

Mayweather's last sanctioned bout was a win over UFC star Conor McGregor in 2017. The following year, he stopped Japanese kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in an exhibition fight which was worth a reported $9m.

Paul lost his boxing debut against fellow social media star KSI in November. In terms of global interest, pay-per-view numbers and revenue generated, it was a super-fight.

But it was also one which riled up boxing aficionados, with many feeling that two novices headlining a fight night was disrespectful to the sport.

And while reports suggest Mayweather will probably reject the proposal from Paul, fans are still far from happy…
