The Floyd Mayweather vs Logan Paul bout did not carry out how most people expected it to. Many fans thought the fight ended up being anti-climatic, while others thought it was what is to be expected of an exhibition bout. However, Logan's brother Jake Paul was determined to stand alongside his brother – and ended up being trolled.

While the fight was going on, Jake took to Twitter to update all his fans, and to anyone following the bout. "4 rounds to 2," he wrote in one of his tweets. "Going into 7th". However, later on, Jake ended up misleading his followers, somehow indicating that Logan Paul won. Fans caught up soon enough, especially as no official winner was announced. 

Fans ended up trolling Jake for his comments, calling him out for not stating only facts. "It’s no way you actually think Logan won that fight," one fan wrote, while many others shared stats and other proof while wondering why Jake would lie. A small number of fans did support Jake, letting others know they did not actually know boxing, and Logan Paul had won.
