Floyd Mayweather's manager supports Logan Paul's entry into professional boxing
The exhibition match against Logan Paul won’t be Floyd Mayweather's first rodeo. However, the 44-year-old hasn’t fought professionally since 2017 after defeating MMA champion Conor McGregor by knockout.
Even with his 50-0 record, the event would be “nothing like” the boxer has had before, says his long-term manager Leonard Ellerbe.
“Look, I commend all those who go out there and try to leave their mark. If it brings more eyeballs to the sport, I’m all for it."
Mayweather’s team is all in for the upcoming fight and are in support of the fighter’s decision to try “something different” with the bout. It seems the match is all but certain to take place without any rescheduling this time.
