UFC president Dana White thinks the matchup between Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul perfectly describes the state of boxing.
Undefeated former champion Mayweather and YouTube sensation Paul announced Sunday that they will fight each other in an exhibition bout on Feb. 20, and White couldn’t help but be critical.
Speaking to the “Nelk Boys,” White took aim at how one of the greatest boxers of all time has signed on to fight Paul, who has only one professional bout once against fellow YouTube creator “KSI.”
“When people ask me, ‘What’s the state of boxing right now?’ That’s where it’s at,” White said. “Didn’t that kid get beat up by the [expletive] video game kid from England, and now he’s going to fight Floyd Mayweather?”
