Mayweather vs Logan Paul attracted a lot of media attention and even people wanted to watch this fight as this could end Mayweather's perfect record in the ring. The NBA community was also very active on Twitter giving their Mayweather vs Logan Paul reactions. Four-time NBA Champion LeBron James said, "Man this look like Mike Tyson punch out!" 

The Portland Trail Blazers' Jusuf Nurkic also shared his opinion, he said, "Floyd Mayweather is a goat for a reason lol, kids stay at [home emoji] or YouTube." It was clear that the NBA players who tweeted would have expected an easy win for Mayweather, but the rules stated that there would be no referees which meant that the only way to win was by a KO and that did not happen in this fight which meant that there was no official winner to this fight.

Logan Paul had prepared a lot for this fight and he outweighed Floyd by 34.5 pounds despite this being the heaviest he had weighed in his career. He kept fighting but Mayweather was too experienced to fall in his trap and kept landing punches. But the resilience shown by Logan Paul is commendable, to be in the ring with a boxer who is 50-0 and to survive 8 rounds is not something easy. In his interview after the fight, Logan said, "I don't want anyone to tell me anything is impossible ever again, the fact that I'm in here with one of the greatest boxers of all time proves that the odds can be beaten."
