Floyd Mayweather-Logan Paul farce just another low blow to boxing world

No thank you, Floyd Mayweather. Hard pass, Logan Paul.

This is starting to turn boxing into a farce. The superstar ex-boxer and the social media celebrity are apparently planning to, ahem, box each other on Feb. 20 in an exhibition match.

When Mayweather wanted to fight Conor McGregor in 2017, I didn’t care for the idea, but two overriding points made me feel better toward that event than I do toward this one, if it actually comes together.

First, while McGregor was not a professional boxer and had next-to-no shot to win, he was a professional fighter and knew how to take punches and defend himself.
