Logan Paul vs Floyd Mayweather is not real boxing

Although the arena was jampacked, star-studded and was loud, don’t confuse the Logan Paul-Floyd Mayweather fight as a real boxing.

UFC president Dana White has given a scorching audit of Floyd Mayweather\’s display session against YouTube star Logan Paul, saying it \’wasn\’t a fight\’.

Undefeated symbol Mayweather will allegedly bring home around $100million (£71m) following the eight-round presentation against the web star, yet it has produced a lot of analysis after the amazing fighter neglected to take his adversary out.

Some furious fans accept the battle was \’fixed\’ in the wake of guaranteeing the 44-year-old purposely prevented Paul from imploding to the material to expand the battle – notwithstanding handling a whirlwind of punches.

The PPV occasion cost as much as $50 (£35) to watch it in the US and around £17 in the UK, yet many boxing fans grumbled they didn\’t get an incentive for cash and blamed the two contenders for \’embracing\’ for the greater part of the evening.

White was cursing of those selecting to pay for the battle, demanding the display was \’so distant\’ from anything he would set up in the UFC.

“That wasn’t a boxing match,” White said in disgust.

\’Like I said before, there\’s always going to be a market for that kind of stuff. There\’s always going to be people that are willing to put down $50 to watch that kind of stuff. That\’s so far away [from what we do].

\’Think about this — imagine if Kim Kardashian wanted to fight Amanda Nunes. How big do you think that fight would be? It would be huge. It would be the biggest [event] but give me a break.\’

White – who has previously been highly criticial of Paul and his fellow YouTuber and brother Jake for both stepping into the ropes – believes glamourous exhibition fights create a lot of publicity and hype but always deliver disappointment.

\’It\’s exactly what boxing has always been,\’ he added. \’You create this energy around a fight where you\’re like, \”Oh this [is exciting]\”, and then you watch it and then you turn the TV off and go, \”I just wasted another evening, I should have went out and did something else\”.

\’I don\’t ever want people feeling like that when they turn the TV off watching some of our fights.\’

Two-weight world Mexican champ Luis Nery (35 wins – 1 loss – 0) mocked the undefeated “Japanese monster” Naoya Inoue (26 wins – 0 loss) as ordinary and overrated hyping their fight at Tokyo Dome in Japan May 6, 2024.

31-year old Inoue will defend his undisputed super bantamweight title against Nery.

29-year-old challenger Nery has the WBC and Ring magazine bantamweight titles plus the WBC super bantamweight title from 2020 to May 2021.

On the other hand, the undisputed Inoue who holds WBA and IBF titles plus WBC and WBO belts has never lost except a decision with Filipino ‘flash’ Nonito Donaire last 2011.

Francis Ngannou cries ‘deception’ vs Anthony Joshua camp

Former UFC fighter Francis Ngannou accused AJ camp of ‘trickery’ when he suffered devastating knockdowns in the first and second round last March 8, 2024 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The MMA fighter and former UFC heavyweight champion said that AJ camp sabotaged him by letting him go early in the arena.

“We both fought at 3am. What I think, something that’s happened is that they get me to the arena very early. Like my pickup time was 10.30pm to go to the arena. And then when we get to the arena, they tell us that we are scheduled around 1.45am. right?” Ngannou blurted.

He believed that he came exhausted, which resulted in his humiliating defeat.
