which paul brother fought mayweather

Logan Paul is the Paul brother who fought Floyd Mayweather, in an exhibition bout on June 6, 2021, at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.

Quick answer

• The brother who actually boxed Floyd Mayweather in the ring: Logan Paul.

• Jake Paul was involved in the promotion and a viral press-conference scuffle (“gotcha hat”), but he did not fight Mayweather.

Brief context

• The event was an exhibition match, not a professional bout, and went the full eight rounds with no official winner announced.

• Hype around the fight was boosted by Jake Paul’s altercation with Mayweather at a media event for Logan’s fight.

Why people get confused

• Jake Paul has often called out Mayweather and even challenged him to a “real fight,” which makes some fans mix up which brother actually stepped in the ring.

• Promotional clips, memes, and forum discussions frequently show Jake confronting Mayweather while the actual opponent, Logan, is mentioned less prominently, adding to the confusion.
