4:59 PM PT — 4/27 — We told you … and now it’s official — Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul will face off in the ring on June 6 in Miami … with the huge boxing match set to go down at Hard Rock Stadium.
The news was set in stone Tuesday afternoon … with the YouTube superstar sharing the fight promotion on Instagram just moments ago.
“June 6 I break the simulation,” Paul said. “@mayweatherpromotions @fanmio and @showtimeboxing have come together to make boxing history!!!”
Floyd Mayweather is zeroing in on a date and location to fight Logan Paul — and multiple sources tell us the target is Sunday, June 6 in Miami.
We’re told the date is not set in stone — but Floyd’s camp is really pushing for the Sunday date.
So, why not shoot for Saturday night like most major Pay-Per-View boxing events?
We’re told the hope of having a bunch of live fans at the venue for the fight is playing a key role.
One source tells us the Sunday date works better with the intended venue in Miami — a venue that would be able to hold a large crowd, which is very important to Floyd.
Floyd and Logan Paul were originally scheduled to fight on February 20th — but the event was postponed due to “COVID and other things.”
Since then, there have been questions about if the fight was ever going to happen — but we’re told Floyd is 100% in and can’t wait to get it on.
The fight would technically be considered an exhibition — which means it would not count on either fighters’ professional record.
26-year-old Logan is 0-1 record as a pro — but he’s full of confidence … especially after his brother Jake Paul obliterated MMA star Ben Askren.
Plus, the Paul brothers have proven to be legitimate PPV draws — which we’re certain is appealing to Floyd.
44-year-old Mayweather is 50-0 and widely considered one of the greatest boxers of all time with wins over legends like Oscar De La Hoya, Canelo Alvarez and Manny Pacquiao.
