Il campione di boxe in pensione Floyd Mayweather Jr. ha annunciato domenica che tornerà sul ring in a “super mostra” contro YouTuber Logan Paul.
La partita è prevista per febbraio 20, 2021, according to a post from Floyd on his Instagram pagina.
The bout will be available via pay-per-view, secondo the event’s website. Il primo 1 million purchases will cost $ 24.99, increasing to $ 39.99 that threshold is reached. A dicembre 29, the price jumps to $ 59.99 and then to $ 69.99 in febbraio 11.
The announcement comes one week after Paul’s brother, Jake Paul, knocked out former NBA player Nate Robinson.
Logan Paul has fought before. He twice fought vlogger and rapper Olajide “KSI” Olatunji with the first bout ending in a draw and a second with KSI’s victory over Paul.
Mayweather, who was undefeated in his career with a record of 50-0, is considered one of boxing’s all-time greats.
Si è ritirato a 2017 after defeating Conor McGregor, a fight that Forbes estimated generated more than $ 550 million in revenue. Mayweather earned a reported $ 275 milioni, a sum generated both from his roles as fighter and also promoter.
“A partire da adesso, I’m doing exhibitions,” Mayweather told CNN en Español’s Raul Saenz earlier this year. “Io sono 100% sure that I’m not fighting against any boxer anymore.”
Lui announced in 2019 è stato “coming out of retirement in 2020.”
