Joe Rogan has reacted to Floyd Mayweather’s boxing match with Logan Paul.
Chiming in with his views on the Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul exhibition boxing match, Joe Rogan had words of high praise for both fighters. The longtime UFC commentator and MMA personality took to his official Instagram account to post the following:
Joe Rogan’s Instagram post featured a photo from the Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul fight. A statement attached to the post reads:
“About last night... first off I have to say I was really surprised at how much I was looking forward to this fight. Right before the bell rang for the opening around I was legitimately giddy with excitement. I think the whole thing is pretty fascinating. First of all @FloydMayweather is a f**king genius in more ways than one. He’s arguably the greatest boxer of all time, and in the twilight of his career he’s managed to make hundreds of millions of dollars fighting people who really don’t have a chance to beat him. Just f**king genius.”
“He’s figured out a way to compete into his 40s and make more money than any other boxer alive. It’s really incredible. And the confidence that he has to have in his skills to fight a guy 20 years younger than him and 35 pounds heavier can’t be emphasized enough. Not a lot of all time greats in any sport would take that kind of chance. I think we should appreciate the f**k out of that guy while he’s still around.”
“And for @loganpaul, just going 8 hard rounds with a superb multi division world champion like Floyd is pretty f**king incredible. He survived and he even managed to land a few punches. Just the fact that he had the endurance to do the 8 rounds is really f**king impressive. When you’re in there with a master like Floyd he’s constantly pressuring you and he’s so efficient and composed that he never fades. Yeah it was a freak show, and yeah real world class boxing between champions is better, but I thought it was pretty f**king interesting. Kudos to both men, and congrats on making us watch.”
Joe Rogan revealed he was surprised by how much he was looking forward to this bout. He added that he was giddy with excitement right before the fight started.
The world-renowned podcaster gave props to Floyd Mayweather for being a "f**king genius in more ways than one.” He opined that Mayweather has found a way of making millions of dollars well into his 40s by fighting people who are unlikely to defeat him.
The 53-year-old, however, pointed out that Floyd Mayweather's confidence to take on an opponent who’s about 20 years younger and 35 pounds heavier than him is admirable.
Joe Rogan also expressed his admiration for Logan Paul. He noted that the YouTube superstar went the distance with a truly elite fighter and even managed to land a few punches of his own.
Rogan then congratulated both Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul on the entertaining fight.
